Zachary James Topper

To Allie/family,

You might not remember me, but I also graduated in 1994 (female soccer guru). I joined the Navy right after graduation only to have served the past 11 years supporting the Marine Corps. These last few years have been rough and due to the war, I have had the opportunity to grow close to many Marines that have left this world with pride and leaving behind great memories to remember them by. It sounds like Zack did just that, left this world, and at the same time, he...

Dr. Hoover has been a professor of mine for a great deal of my Graduate School career. Her teachings have been invaluable to me. Her strenth has been amazing throughout this continuing battle. I wish to extend my condolances to all of the extended family. I did not know Zach personally - however, through the many stories and photos it is wonderful to find out how great a human being he was.

Allie and Family -

My parents passed on the news of Zach's passing and I wanted to extend our deepest condolences.

It's been many years since we've seen you, but we have the fondest memories of two smiling, selfless, wonderful people who enjoyed nothing more than being together.

Our hearts and prayers go out to you and yours.

Zack-
You don't know me, but I am friends with your sister at school. We have something in common. My big brother just died of brain cancer 3 months ago. I am still struggling terribly. The pain never goes away, and even though this is very recent for chelsea, we are still in many many many ways, in the same spot. From what I have heard, you have touched the lives of so many people, as did my brother Mike. You both were too young, (he was 25) and deserved to live the rest of your lives...

Dear Topper Family --
I attended Shippensburg and played football with Zach. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

All the best,

Dear Linda, Dave and Family

Dear Topper Family,

I was very saddened to hear the news about Zach. I had the opporrtunity to play football with Zach for two seasons at Ship. My second season I believe was the first time he was diagnosed. I will always remember him as a bright, friendly and caring person. It is so hard to see gentlemen like him leave this life for another. Please know that there are many that are saddened by your loss and also that are grateful for having the opportunity to have known him. His...

Dear Ally and Family,
We will always remember Zach as the vibrant, funny, and kind person that he was. I was always inspired by the two of you, even though I haven't seen you in years. Take care, and know that you are on so many minds and in so many hearts.
With Love, Marie
