I never met Zach personally, but I learned of him through his friend Evan Erwin, and of the fact that he's no longer with us. I have already lost a number of friends and fellow soldiers through the Army, and I know that feeling of emptiness. I'm sorry.

There really isn't much I can say that wouldn't sound wooden or contrived; it's a horrible situation no matter how you look at it. I just wanted to say, at least, that I'm with you in this.

I was one of the people that knew Zach as Shiny. I remember thinking the first time I ever propped my arms on the counter of CM, that there was something special about him. I sat up many nights talking to him and I miss that. I miss his laugh because whenever I heard it I couldn't help but laugh along. He was so sweet, probably one of the nicest guys I ever met. I don't think he realized how much he really meant to everyone he knew and how much he was loved. I'm gonna miss him. I'm terribly sorry that this has happened. I keep his family in my prayers and his memory close.

Dear family of Zach, first of all, I am a friend of his. He was in my Latin class. We all have very fond memories of his smile and the smiles he gave us. He will be greatly missed more than anyone will ever know. Although he won't be with us physically, each one of us will hold part of him with us.
