Tributes
Leave a tributeMy fondest memory of you is during gymnastics. You never seemed bored sitting through those long meets at such a young age. I remember how proud of Camri you appeared through your expressions and actions. I knew you loved your little sister dearly.
We all miss you

Fast forward a few years and he became my cousins boyfriend. He quickly was a favorite among my family, becoming especially close with my brother and now husband. He was there for my cousin during the passing of her mother and was always helpful with her son. He earned the nickname "Stepdad" because he was so good with helping take care of her little boy.
Everyone was disappointed when Zach and my cousin broke up. But that didn't stop my brother and husband from staying good friends with him. He would still come over to my parents house when she wasn't around and everyone was always happy to see him. Teasing him that he should get back together with her so we could see him more often!
To our surprise, several years later they would do just that- move in together and even get engaged.
We have so many good memories of Sunday dinners, traveling together, inside jokes, long talks, and celebrations. Too many to recount. He was considered part of the family- long before he and West decided to get married.
Not often do find someone who fits in with everyone in your family- without even trying... and a part of our family will never be replaced.
I have convinced myself this past year that Zach had been traveling for work, because to admit to myself that I won't see him again is too hard. Too hard to recount all the things he missed this year, including the birth of my son.
I miss his caring heart, sarcasm, and him asking me for advice. I know we will meet again one day. Family is forever. I love u Zach.

Story shared by my friend & client Judy Smith
Teri has been doing my nails for nearly 20 years, so I've known Zachary as the little boy, playing excitedly with his toys, patiently waiting for mommy to finish work...growing into the handsome polite young man who always stopped by the pedicure room to give his momma a hug. So sweet!!!
My 6 day old miracle
When Zach was 6 days old he was hospitalized at Children's Hospital for 21 days with spinal mengingitis. The doctors prepared his dad and I for the worst. Instead Zach fought a hard battle. If was during that time we found out the name Zachary means "Whom God Hath Remembered".
