This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Zachary Mendoza, 18, born on June 18, 1990 and passed away on December 28, 2008. We will remember him forever.

Zach was one of a kind. He left his impact on so many people's lives. He was adventurous, funny,out going,athletic. Just to name a few. He loved to fish. He was a wrestler since he was 5 years old till his death. He played baseball shortstop and first base. He was a pro at stealing bases.  He ran cross country  . And in his younger years he played basket ball. He wanted to go to Iowa state to play baseball and wrestle. He exceeded in every sport he was involved in.He was a joker and a true class act. Look up to by so many. He had the most gorgeous brown eyes and a beautiful smile . He did more in his short 18 years than some who live to be 80 have done. He loved dirt bikes from a very early age.  He was a big brother to Nicolas, Brookelin,and,Alex.. There's not a day that goes by that he is not thought about. He lost his life on Dec 28,2008 when he was riding passenger in the front seat of his friends car .When suddenly they hit a patch of black Ice causing the car to skid out if control go airborne and come to rest In bedded onto a utility pole. Killing him and the driver  It took rescue workers 2 in a half hours to get those boys out of the car and off of the pole. It was the worse moment of my entire life. It changed me forever and I will forever grieve over the death of my beautiful son. Zach would be a uncle this June of 2016. But he will have to do this from heaven now . Which weighs heavy on the hearts of us all.... RIP ZACHARY LOVE,MOM
