Zach my fellow brother in arms, far too early for you to go and so much left to do. You were the one who came to see me when I was at 78G in Bedford VA and you will never know how much that meant to me. I know your smiling face brought great joy to me as well to all the people who had the privaledge of knowing you. Not only has the town of Wilmington taken a big hit but also the Veteran community of Wilmington. The last time I saw you was outside of Lou's office as we talked about our commen problems as a result of Combat PTSD. You were one of Lou's "Kids" and that veteran family will not be the same without youYou will be held in my heart till we meet again in Valhalla..I Love you brother. To the Mayo family and friends my deepest condolences for your loss.. you raised an amazing man who grew to be a defender of this country and his fellow service members lives. Thank you for giving me the chance to meet such an amazing person who I can truly call my brother. Thoughts and prayers Matthew P. David
