I was thinking a lot tonight about Zach and he was the little brother I never had, we shared so much together. He lit up a room with not only his personality, but his kindness and compassion as well. I love and miss my lil bro and just wanted to say I love you Zach.

I just heard of Zach's passing. Zach took my class as an undergraduate. He was a delightful person who shared a brilliant light with all of us. He was smart, funny, and insightful. He and you are in my prayers.

I met Zach many times while he was with my grandson, Max. He was always so pleasant and fun loving. My deepest sympathies go out to his parents and the rest of his family. Zach was taken from you far too soon; may he rest is peace.

January 7, 2014

Dear Cheryl - I have known you for so long now and recall so many times you have been called to or had to make a loving phone call from or to your Zach. There was always a following laugh, and a loving "I'll talk to you later". How many times you spoke of his band and their next "gig" (as I would call it) you were going to see him perform in. My love and prayers to you, Again, my Love, Pam Detig

I am so sorry for your loss. Zach was a great kid with a kind, generous , and loving heart!!! He lit up the room just by entering ! He was funny and always knew how to make you laugh!

Cheryl,
I am so very sorry for your loss of your son Zach. May God embrace your family with His comfort and love during this time of sorrow, and may He bring you to the day when you are able to remember the happier times you shared with Zach.

January 7, 2014

I met Zack this past September through the UB School of Social Work Program. While I only knew him for a short time, I enjoyed the time I spent with him, in class and working on two group projects together. He was charismatic, friendly, positive, kind, and creative. Zack would have made a wonderful Social Worker. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to your entire family. Rest in Peace Zack.

For all of you-words cannot begin to describe the heartache we are all feeling at the passing of Zack. He was a beautiful, smart, happy, carefree boy that always had a smile on his face and never complained. He was always there to offer a helping hand to anyone that needed him. To Cheryl and Greg- thank you for the gift of your son-although he was taken from all of us far too soon-he has left an impact on us all & we have the both of you to thank for that-he will live on in the best place of all and we will miss & love him forever
