So grateful for having had neighbor Zack Smith next door for many years. It was comforting to know he was there--and did come--on the occasions his help was needed. Praying the memories of his sweet, gracious, and generous self will be a comfort to Tyler, Sami, and Tucker--and all the others who knew him so well.

Always loved looking across the street and catching a glimpse of the darling Smith family! Early years of busy, hectic sports schedules and work. Cat sitting whenever i could. Watching how the children grew and went their separate ways but always to gather back home for holidays. Waves of hello at a distance and occasional hugs! Zack truly gave so much of himself to his work and others. I remember him having such a gentle spirit and I know he loved his family very much. He will be truly...

Zach was a wonderful person. My deepest sympathy to the Smith family. May god bless you and give you strength and courage during this time of grief.

It has been years since we saw Zack although I spoke to him a couple of times a few months ago during his mother illness. Always calm, cool, with a great sense of humor and engaging smile. Our deepest condolences to all in his family, and particularly to Tyler, Samantha, and Tucker. Losing a parent is never easy, but may your memories of him strengthen and sustain you in your lives going forward.

I fell in love with Zack in 1969 while watching a movie called J.T., about a boy and his cat, at the Smith´s house on Nevada Avenue. It was a very sad movie and Zack let a tear slip out. I saw that and fell for him. I´d always wanted a big brother, and he filled that role well. I always felt like he had my back. He was a gem of a human and I will miss him. My heart goes out to his family and other friends dealing with this loss. I have to miss the memorial, but will be with you all in spirit....
