Words cannot express how devasted we are. We loved Zac and will hold tight all the fun and happy moments we've shared with him. He was like Audra's big brother that she never had and we thank God for sharing him with us.

Debbie:
My mother (Claudette) and I were very sorry to hear Zac passed away. We had not seen him since he was a young boy. When Uncle Jeff used to bring him to our house, we used to have such fun together. He was always a jovial child. We understand he grew into an outstanding person. Our hearts go out to you during this very sad time.
Take Care-
Zac's cousin Julie

I was greatly saddened to hear of Zac's death. My heart reaches out especially to his mother Debbie and his grandparents, Junior and Gerry. Although I am not able to be there in person to offer my support, I am there in spirit and am just a phone call away if ever you need you need to talk. I remember Zac in his youth as being one of the cutest boys I'd ever seen and as an adult although I saw him rarely he always seemed to have a quiet and kind specialness about him. He was someone who I personally had always wanted to pull aside at family gatherings to talk with and get to know, because I sensed that he had yet to be found special gifts inside that outwardly easy going persona. Sadly, it is often those with the most special gifts that leave us the earliest. I offer my heart felt condolences to all in my family for suffering this great loss.
