Zac was my mom Debby's cousin. I always knew who he was but wasn't until we worked together at Holloway that I got to know him and became friends. He told me stories about growing up with my mom and her siblings that I'd never heard before. One story he told me was he and my uncle Jimmy raced their hotrods and they swapped motors and raced again to see who would win. I'm thankful Zac and I got to know each other and will miss seeing him around Earle. Brandy, I'm sorry for your loss and know Lane is hugging her daddy.
