He was a very sweet guy! I use to go in that dollar store and he was always very nice, professional and ended every purchase with a smile and cheerfully saying, "Have a nice day!" I am very sorry for your loss.

Both my cousin and her daughter were discussing Zachary this past Saturday. They remember him helping them when in Dollar General. He appeared to be a nice person. My sympathies to the family. God bless.

Such a genuinely pleasant personality, always helpful, smiling, with a gentle spirit that made your visit to the store in my neighborhood a treat. Zachary's light will shine on through all of us that experienced the gift of his presence in our lives. (God faithfully blessed your efforts as parents to raise such a beautiful young man...thank you.) Such a painful loss, however, God knows and is ready to comfort and heal, even in the midst of our tears. My prayers are that God will ease the pain of your loss and fill the void with peace in knowing that he is in a better place, and we will see him again, in Christ Jesus.

To the family of Mr. Hunt:

I am so sorry for the loss of your son. After reading the articles about him in the newspaper, it sounds as though he was a very liked young man. He was just beginning his life and had so much to look forward to.

I know he is in a better place now and always remember that we are all praying for your family through this grieving process.
