The time keeps changing so fast, but the 1 thing that has not and will not ever change is the broken pieces of our hearts. You were such a light on this earth and I know you're the light in heaven. Rest in Heaven babyboy, you still are and will always be missed

Hey bub i really am missing you allot and trying hard to continue to be able to live life with only part of myself , I lost the other part when u went away cuz. You was and still are and always will be part of me Zach as we shared the same name and so much more. My biggest regret is that i did not know how short life really was until u were gone and i wish i could have spent more time with u man. I will always keep the memories of the times we did spend together close to my heart and not a day will go by without thinking about u. Will always love u and miss u until the day i can be with u again. Its so hard to accept ur not around anymore but i know u will always be with me in my heart.

Thinking about you;) no different from every other day! I think about you EVERYDAY and I miss you everyday! And everyday I wish that you were here. It's still so hard to believe that your gone! You were too young and too good of a person to go so soon. Nobody deserves to go so young. And nobody deserves to go the way you had to go. Still wish I would of seen you that day. We were so close to running into each other! It's unreal! I love talking to you! And I miss you and love you. Im glad that you got to be with daddy again:') and grandpa gene, aunt Kelley, uncle kip and Kirk. Just watch over mom and us. we all miss you and your smile. XOXOXO'S

Love you lots fat boy! Lol.. Miss you more! I know your in a better place but I still wish that I could bring you back. A hug would be wonderful , a recent picture would be great. God how i would love to hear you laugh and see you smile. When you done something you know you wasn't suppose to do.., yep! That smile :') I miss it! It's been 157 days! It seems like forever. Never went more then MAYBE 14 days without seeing you. But for the most part I seen you daily and I miss that. Hunters only 4 but he talks about you on a daily basis:') mom was scared that he would forget you but I know that will never happen! You were and always will be his uncle zachy. Morgan's a little quieter about it but she draws stuff and writes about you all the time! And Chris made a song for you. I listened to it atleast 30x's in 2 days! Lol.. It's real and it's good! Miss you and love you lots! XOXOXO's

Jessica..my heart is heavy as I read your FB and Guest Book posts. Your loss is deep; Zach was so young and such a huge part of your life and his passing was so senseless. He meant so much to your wee ones and they just don't understand. Know that there are still prayers for you and your Mom....prayers that you continue to find the strength to carry on without Zach. May special memories of Zach take the edge off your grief. Keep the faith! Love from Cinti

November 17, 2012

Many kids have been around me gone camping with me to campus with me and so many other places Zach was one of many but as different as they were from each other each made their own impact in my life. Zach was unique as he was family brother to my daughter which made him special in trying to help him in his sometimes struggles and laughing with him at other times wishing that i could have made some difference in his shortened life. I will miss him and the friendship we could have had may justice be served.
