If only you could have known the Zac I knew - fun loving, entertaining, happy kid. I think the first thing I said to him was "you get in there and get the quarterback!". You know what, he was small, got knocked down, but never stop trying!

Dale & family, Zack is truly missed. Old friends on facebook are reminiscing. Wish I could be there today for the service but am out of town. Prayers are with you. Glad to know he is resting in peace now and that you have a little closure. Love always Ericka & Mikey
