Whenever I remember Kyle skateboarding, I always think of Zach. They had so many fun times together while growing up. Our entire family loved Zach and will miss him so much. One thing for sure, he could certainly brighten everyone's day with his smile. He will always be remembered in our family.

Julie and family,
It has been a very long time since I have seen Zack, but I have only really fond memories of him on the ballfield and at Glendale pool. He was a joy to be around.
I am sorry for your loss, and I pray for your comfort during this difficult time.

I am so sorry for your family's loss. I taught Zach 11 years ago at Menchville High School and he was a friend of my daughter. Zach was always so friendly and pleasant to be around. We had many good conversations in class. He was a kind soul and a good friend to my daughter. I'm grateful to have known him. You will remain in my thoughts.

I am heart broken. We shared so many good memories with Zach. My favorite was when him and Ryan would go back and forth seeing who could tell the best jokes. I think Zach always had the upper hand and the BEST laugh. He will be greatly missed. My prayers go out to the family during this tragic time. I hope you all find peace and comfort during a very difficult time.
