There is no heartbreak like losing a child.Sue Rodriquez tells me Zach was a special boy who touched the lives and hearts of everyone who met him. In your time of sorrow, may you be blessed with friends who care, faith that overcomes and memories that comfort. Sincerely, Eva Seibert

I had the pleasure of working with Zach's family, but never of actually meeting Zach. His story touched my heart and many others and his bravery and kindness sent ripples through the community. I'm so sorry for your loss. Know that Zach truly touched the lives and hearts of all who worked with him and for him.
