Distance and travel prevented a close Aunt, nephew relationship. However, whenever we did get together, ZacK ALWAYS greeted me with kindness, respect a smile and a hug. Simple gestures… they came naturally. That’s how I do, and will , remember him . Thanks , Zack , for shining that light . Struggles behind you …. now rest, and shine on Love ❤️ you
I was with Zach at the Progress House for a few months. I was more of a loner guy and Zach almost always made the effort to make sure I was doing well that day. If I wasn’t he would always make a joke to bring me up. He had a rare heart, to make sure others were good before himself. I’ll miss greatly.
A phenomenal human being in every facet of life. The world has been done a great disservice the likes of which cannot be measured. Rest In Peace brother and may god watch over your loved ones and friends.
Maryellen, as Barb said- we love you so much. I wish only peace for you, Zach and the entire family. I so enjoyed the pictures of you two last week. God has a plan, it hurts, but we are all here for you. Much love cuz

To Zach’s family, I am very sorry for your loss, I had the pleasure of working with him a Global Plastics, he was a great friend and human being, very loved by everyone at work, he was the spark of every day for everyone, his goofiness was what made him who he was, a happy young man that was very special to everyone around him, I want to send my deepest condolences to you and your family, I wish may God give you the strength to get through this difficult time, as a mother myself I cannot imagine the pain you are feeling right now, so I pray to God, to hold you tight and help you heal your broken heart… God bless you..
Thank you for you loving words. Zach was the spark plug of his family also, always wanting to help and lift others up. He talked about his job a lot and loved all the people he worked with. It was a hard shift for him but but it was the people that made it worth while. Thankyou for all the prayers .
