Sending love and prayers to all of you at this tough time. Zach was always one of my favorite students... such a sweet kid with a big smile! So proud of Zach as a dad to his two children! You all are such a BEAUTIFUL and caring family! I know we will see Zach again because we believe in the resurrection. The memories and fun times all of you had with Zach can never be taken away! Zach was so blessed to have two of the BEST PARENTS and BEST SIBLINGS! Until we meet again...Our sincere sympathy..

My son Kyle and Zach were the best of friends in their early years... two blonde haired buddies driving around in their motorized motorcycle and jeep... playing backyard baseball... or just hanging in general... I´m so sorry for your loss Mark, Chrissy and the entire Mudd family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
