You were my best friend since grade school! Because of you, I learned to color all my glue with highlighters. I know I'm late but I didn't know! I will always love you and you will always be my best friend! <3

I am sure there is no one that will forget about Zach. He was a good friend, bro, and guitarist. I would even know how to play if it wasn't for him. He has taught me everything I know. I miss you bro.

Zach was a very special person. He was the type of person to always put a smile on your face and make you feel like you are important. We had a special kind of friendship almost like best friends. I could always come and talk with him. I still have a picture that he gave me and Jr. High. And I am blessed to have the opportunity to have heard him play his guitar. He is a very gifted musician. I am deeply sorry for your loss. I am also truly hurt by him being gone. I pray for his wife and family. But just remember he touched a lot of our hearts. More people than you probably know.

Randy & Leigh~
Though I was not as close to Zach as my sister Megan was, I always loved his company. I loved how his voice was always so calm. Out of the 12 years I have known him I don't think I ever saw him mad. It is still very hard to think that I will never get to hear or see him ever again. I'm almost always bought to tears when I hear his and my sister's song (Love song-311). I will forever miss him! I loved him like a brother.

Leigh and Randy,

I am still so sad thinking about Zac. I tried to write you before now but it is so hard to know what to say. As a mother of sons... I can only imagine your pain. You should be comforted in knowing that you were the best parents a boy could ever wish for. You both were always attentive and constantly present, and I am sure he knew that you loved him.

I mostly remember Zac as a young boy - under the age of 6. He was a little cutey. Tall and skinny, even back then. One snowy day we all went sledding at his schoolgrounds, I think. Even Grandpa Harwood (at the age of 60 something) was sledding with us that day, and having a fine time. Next thing I know Zac comes up to me and says "Look, yellow snow!". If I remember correctly Leigh was letting him carry some of it around, laughing the whole time. That day will always be a special memory for me.

Zac was a great kid.There are lots of great memories of him in this guestbook. May they bring you comfort. I love you both, Anita.

I never was without a smile when i was around zach. He was one of the most genuine people i had ever come across in my life. He truly will be missed by all his friends and countless other people he made and impact on.

Dear Randy and Leigh,

I have just learned of Zach's passing and as a parent my heart aches for you both. Remember how blessed you were that God shared him with you for those 23 years. May there be peace in knowing that you will be reunited one day. My prayer is that you will lean on your faith and each other as you grieve. And also to celebrate his life and all the wonderful memories you made together.
Love you Randy

Oh Zach,
When I heard that you had left us. I so realize I was completely lost on my way to Stroud, to sit where Robert Plant had been, purhaps his music over my tears was leading you to be with PaPa to be his boy again. I went to Grand Lake being led by a full moon. Purhaps my fire, there, led you to Grandma & G.T. that worshiped you, the first GREAT-grandchild. The music of Supertramp comforts me now. Please be in the Peace that I feels awaits us after we have suffered thu this life on earth. I loved you from the very first diaper I changed. I will take care of your Mom and Grandma during these time that have left us so sad. Come visit me with guidence.

i babysat Zach when he was little. i still remember how wild he could be at one moment and how sweet he could be the next. Randy and Leigh were always so nice to me. Leigh was always so attentive to Zach. unfortunately as time passed i got a "real" job and eventually moved from Robin Rd. and lost touch. I was extremely shocked and saddened to learn of Zach's passing. i was especially shocked to learn after this event that i was so close to him for the last year or two and never knew it. as it turns out he lived just next door. Leigh and Randy, i am sooooo sorry i wasn't a better nieghbor to him. we would say our hello's and how are you's, but i had no idea it was this little boy i used to know so well. the should haves and would haves are really strong right now. i keep meaning to say something to you both, but i haven't seen you at the house. you are in my thoughts and prayers. again i am so sorry for your loss. feel free to contact me if you like. my parents send their condolensces as well.

Wow....I am still so shocked. I don't know where to start. I haven't seen Zach in a few years, but in the time I did have the pleasure of spending time with him, it was his soft spoken voice and beautiful smile that I will miss so very much. Zach as a friend or aquantince you were truly loved by so many people.

Leigh & Randy,
I'm so thankful that Zach and I shared our special talk and our last words to each other were "I love you". I believe that was on August 28th and he may not have realized how much comfort he gave me talking with him and I was so looking forward to us getting together. He was so sensitive to how others felt. My heart hurts and my tears come at the most unexpected moments. Each time I glance at the wolf pictures I think of Zach. Thank you for saving those for me. Not a day will go by without a thought of Zach running through my mind. Even though we feel this unbearable loss, he was such a wonderful gift from God and chose you as the most perfect parents for Zach. We will see him again. I'm sure of that and that will help us get through the years ahead. I know Zach doesn't want us to feel sad for very long. Just think about this...he's probably having the best time jamming with some of the best musicians that have gone to heaven before him.
I love you. YBF

Leigh and I are so gratified by all of your kind words and sentiments for our son, Zachary.

There's a pretty big hole in the spaces of our hearts that he used to fill and going through this moment in time has been the hardest trial we've yet to have to face.

We're going to get through it though, not because we're so strong but because our faith is.

Friends and family like you support that faith and we'll be forever grateful to you all.

I have so many good memories of my nephew Zac, who was more like a little brother to me. Saturday mornings at Mary's Flea Market and fun times in Tia Juana Oklahoma are among my favorite memories with the little guy that I usually just called "Z". His passing is a tradegy and I hope that in SOME way some positive comes from it. There were SO many young people at the service (which was an INDESCRIBABLE comfort to all family members). I was VERY proud of both of his parents, who showed so much strength!

Our church family, Midwest Blvd. Christian Church, offered up prayers of sympathy for you, Zach's dear family, on September 23. I was shocked and saddened to learn of his untimely death. My heartfelt condolences in your loss. May God be your strength and hope in this time of bereavement. I got to know Zach when he and I worked together as crew members for an MCHS drama show. He ran the lights and I assisted with the sound.

My deepest sympathy to you and your wife. I can think of no greater loss than that of one's child.

I am so sorry for the loss that you have experienced. My heart goes out to Zach's family and friends.
The first time I ever heard of Zach my daughter, Sara, was in 1st grade. Zach was the boy that used to tease her and chase her around the playground. At the time I told her that it was just the silly way boys acted when they liked a girl! Years later Sara met Zach again. This time the girl he chased he had caught and it happened to be Sara's best friend... Meagon. I know that they have shared a lot through the years that they were all together. Through their shared stories and laughter Zach will continue on. Just as he will with each story told about him by all of his friends and most of all, his family.
I will hold each person in my thoughts and prayers that have lost Zach as a friend, a brother, and hardest of all... as a son.
