You've really changed my life. I miss seeing my big brother and giving you hugs. You were the BEST big brother in the world! Zac i love you and theres not a day that goes by without me thinking of all good times we had together and all the laughs and jokes. You made me realize that you have to treat everyone how you want to...

My boyfriend and I hsve known zachary for the last two years and he is the kindess man we've ever met EVER!!! He bought my boyfriends truck and stole our hearts. We consider him one of our best friends and always will. He will never ever be forgotten and the only regret we have is not spending more time with him and his family. When i pray at night I talk to him as well. We love you zach and you will always be with us and we will always defend your honor....
