The Great Zac Barber had a Fine SmiLe on his Face every time he waLked into the Pro Shop @ Spanish Oaks to Check In for a round of GoLf.. he had No EntitLement Attitude, No Bad Attitude or deLight In Mischief like some @ that age.. he was as Fine a Young Man and GentLeman as I observed whiLe I worked @ the GoLf Course!! His Easy Going Nature and Respect was Appreciated. I was DeepLy Saddened to hear of his passing over 15 years ago and i hope to see that SmiLe again someday when my Time comes.. Long Live Zac Barber!!

I love and miss you more than words can say. It has been 14 years and not a day goes by that I do not think about and love you, Zac. You were the sunshine in my life. I can't wait to see you again.

I had a couple classes with Zac last year, and those were the funnest classes I've ever had. All the jokes and comments Zac would make made me laugh, and then to see him smile at his jokes just made them even better. He had the best personality and outlook on life, and he will be missed forever.

Zac was such a great person. I remember playing with him everyday when we were kids. I am going to miss him so much. I am really going to miss the great big smile he always had on his face. You never saw him with out that smile.

I don't think I've ever seen Zac without a big smile on his face and a great attitude towards life. He's such an amazing kid! Everyone loved him, he's that person you always looked up to & wanted to be like. I'm really going to miss him & will always think of his smiling face.

Dear Barber Family,
We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Our son Adam was more aquainted with Zach than we were, but we have fond memories of a smiling young man at the ball parks, every summer, for years. He will be greatly missed by all who has ever had the pleasure of that sweet smile. We pray you may have some comfort through this tragic time.
Wade and Jana Russell and family

Sometimes one reads about a tragedy in the news and it really tugs at their heart as reading about the unexpected passing of your son did to mine.
Perhaps it is because I have lost several loved ones in a car accident that my heart hurts so much for you. I am remembering my own pain when tragedy struck my family ten years ago.
I didn't know your son Zachary. I'm not from your community or even your state. I guess the point of my message is to tell you that there are many people just like me who feel great compassion for you and your loss, and who will include your family in their prayers.
Because I have been in a similar place as you are now, I truly wish for you from the bottom of my heart, the strength, peace and comfort you need to get through it.
Sending love and prayers your way from a stranger named Angel.

I'm so glad I got to meet Zac. He's an awesome kid! Whenever someone was sad and having the worst day ever, just seeing his smile would cheer them up! He had THE CUTEST smile ever! He was so nice and sweet to everyone. He made everything so much fun! Anyone could just love to be around him and feel at home. I love you Zac! I'm gonna miss you!

To the Barber Family - Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. What a tragedy for your family to go through, especially this time of year. Broden Hughes, our grandson and nephew, is a good freind of Zach's and thought very highly of him. He was suppose to go with him that night but decided to drive his own car. He is upset and deeply heartbroken over the loss of Zach. Paul & Lori, you should be very proud of your son. No one can say enough about him. He has touched the lives of so many and left a remarkable impression on everyone that had the honor of knowing him. May God be with you at this trying time and always. From, Jerry & Connie Romero and Abbie Sorensen (Romero)

I have knew Zach for about 4 years. in those four years we have had many converstations. Zach was always there when you needed advise or just somebody to cheer you up. The smile on his face could and would brighten your whole day. I will miss our late night talks on the internet and all of our inside jokes. I'll miss you Zach and you'll always have a special place in my heart

Dear Barber Family,
Knowing Zac and the rest of you has been and continues to be a great blessing in my life.
I will miss having little “chats” with Zac, he always knew the perfect thing to say to bring a smile to my face and I’m sure that everyone that knew him would agree with me.
Michelle and Melinda, I love you like sisters and I would do anything for you to help you in this time in your life. You mean the world to me.
I love each one of you and pray that vivid memories of Zac will live in your hearts FOREVER!

To the Barber Family,
Zac was a very happy young man he walked into the room and would light it up with his wonderful smile. Zac is very loved by friends and family. He will always be remembered for the kid that was great at golf, baseball, school and how he treated people with kindness. Its hard to see him go with just talking to him the night before and not knowing that that would be the last time i will ever speek to him. WE LOVE YOU ZAC AND WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED IN OUR HEARTS AND MIND!

Just want to tell the Barber's that our prayers are with you, as you go through this trial. Jace B. is our grandson and we know that he is having a hard time. Zac was there to sit by Jace after his accident and wouldn't leave his side. He was a great friend to Jace and like a son to Joe and Tricia. Such a cute kid, you can be so proud of. God Bless You All. And may He hold Zac in the hollow of his hand.
