Randy, I was putting my thoughts on Timmy's and my dad's guest book so I looked your son up to say a few words. I am so sorry for your losses. I cannot even imagine what you have been through and my heart goes out to you and your family. I hope you are doing well. You know Timmy knew both of your sons and loved them as much as he loved you. What a great friendship you had with Timmy. I know life has been very difficult for you and your family but I hope you are doing better. You may never read this but Timmy has a guest book if you ever wanted to read it or see his picture. He thought the world of you and had so much fun and laughter when he was with you. Please know I think about you all the time and my heart breaks for you. You were a dear friend to my beautiful husband who I miss so much. If ever you would like to talk to me I would be honored because I knew what a great friendship you and Timmy had. I just wanted to let you know my thoughts and prayers have always been there for you. I love you as a dear friend because you gave my husband and your friend such happiness and laughter and so much joy in his life because you are Randy. What a great guy you are. I sincerely hope you are doing well and I miss talking and listening to your funny stories. God Bless You and always remember how much Timmy thought of you. Timmy's wife and your friend, Andrea Adkisson

Randy,
I just learned of your loss and while words cannot express how sad I feel for you and all of your family at this time, all of you will be in my prayers. It is not the natural order of things to lose a child but I do believe that GOD has His plan for each of us. And, He never promised us that our faith would be without pain and sacrifice. It just sometimes seems that your family has had more than their share of sacrifices. I pray that God will bless each of you.

I can think of no greater loss for a parent to suffer. We keep your family in our prayers nightly and will continue to do so. My Zack spoke so highly of both your boys when he came over to play with Chaz. I know they were wonderful young men to take the time to play with and teach a little brother and his friends about weights and ball and such. If there is ever anything we can do, or you need to talk, let me know. We are so sorry for your loss.May God help you find peace.

Zach was more than a cousin by marriage, he was a good friend. He made every family function that much more fun. He was a sweet guy who cared about everybody. I often referred to him as a people pleaser. He never wanted to hurt anybody, especially his family. I hope he knew how much he was loved by everybody he came in contact with. Zachary will be truly missed.

Karie, Only God knows why your family has had so much tragedy & loss. I know you are very strong people of faith and that gets you through. I just wish there was something more I can do besides pray and donate to your preferred charity. From reading the entries in this guest book, it sounds like Zach was a lot like J.R. with his humor, generosity and perpetual smile. I know you will miss him every day, as I still miss J.R. If you ever want to call your old girlfriend and talk, please do (339-7366). Meanwhile, you and your whole family are in my prayers.

There are no words to help. I am thinking and praying for your family. The only thing that will help heal the hole that hurts with every breath is God's love and time. A lot of time, I know. But, you will be able to breathe again without the pain. Zach is a special young man that still lives in heaven and in the hearts of all who knew the wonderful and loving young man he is.

To the family of Zach,
I am so sorry for your loss. I know this is the worse pain that you can go through. God loans us his children for just a little while and when their job is done, he takes them home. One day, we will be with our children again and there will be no deaths to separate us. Hold on to God and each other for support. If I can help in any way please don't hesitate to call. I use to work at Grade A. God Bless You All.

I used to live a couple of houses down from Zach in the neighborhood. We used to have a lot of fun on that hill and even though I only saw him scarcely over the years, we would always stop to talk about old times when we saw each other. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Karie and Family - Just a note to let you know you are in our thoughts and prayers. I'm sure Zach was a wonderful young man and know he is now safe and secure wrapped in the love of the Lord. Growing up with the Meadors family across the street was something I will treasure always. Being away from Louisville is especially hard during times like these when we would like to be able to do something to help. We love you guys and will be praying for you.
