2 years ago today and it still feels like yesterday that you left a hole in our hearts. Things are so different since you've been gone. Our hearts ache just as much as they did the first day. We miss you so much Zach.  You took a little piece of  each of our hearts with you. The Perez family is not the same without you. You will always hold a special place in the Perez household. 

Love Always, 
Marcy

Miss you Zach. Miss all the times we would talk about baseball and how we always had a long conversation whenever you came over to my family’s house. Can’t believe it’s been almost 2 years now since you passed.. you’ll never be forgotten brother.

This is your cousinEric lara, Ray Lara’s son.  I wanted to reach out to you and your wife from my family and give you our condolences.  I am so sorry for your loss.  Love you cousin.  Hopefully we can talk soon.

I love you so much cousin. I’ll forever miss you & your contagious laugh💙 

Hello prima, it's your cousin Aaron. I'm so sorry to hear about this tragedy.  Please know that your family here in Texas are thinking about you and love you and your family very much.  There are no words that i can say for something like this, but I'm truly sorry.

Our deepest condolences Jeffery and Diana on the loss of your son, the death of a child is that unimaginable loss no parent ever expects to face.  Only God knows why he was taken so young, may he rest in peace.

Typical girl. Trying to get some attention. 😜 haha

Cheese! 
She always loved hanging out with you.

My sweet cousin. I still don’t want to believe you’re not here with us anymore. I can still hear your laugh and you saying “you’re funny cuz” you were the sweetest. I’m so thankful for all of the memories and times we shared. I love you and will forever be missing you 🤍

You left us way to soon Zack! Thank you for always being there to protect, love and care for my baby sister. I can honestly say that you were definitely a part of the Perez family and your departure has also hit all of us pretty hard. Till we meet again bro. May you rest in paradise. 

Jeff & Diana, my deepest condolences for your loss! I only know of Zak from what Tancie has shared with me about him. God be with you & your family!!

Jeff and Diana, I write this knowing words can't express the heaviness of heart I feel - I am so very  sorry that you two, Kevin, Matthew and your extended families have suffered such a loss.  I have been and will continue to pray for you all.  May GOD cover you all in this time.

I’m lost for words. I met Zach back in 8th grade up into  high school class of 2014. He played high school baseball, he loved baseball... Man, such a nice guy. Sending prayers and strength for your family through this rough time.  Rip Zach Heaven has gained an angel.


I still can't believe this is real. You made such an impact on so many lives. Your ambition, drive and respect towards others always lead to others graviting towards you. I thank God for him placing you in my life and being there with me every step of the way. I thank God for your parents who raised you to become a gentleman, leader and role model for others. I can't find the words to truly express how much I'll miss you and much others will. The memories, adventures and life lessons that we experienced together are unmatched. You were my best friend in this life time. Thanks for changing my life and thank you for the happiness, grace and love you brought to others. I'll see you heaven bro, please have a cold one waiting for me and some Mariah Carey playing. I love you bro. 

You definitely touched our hearts here in Texas. From the first time we met you, we knew you were such a caring and lovable young man. My girls enjoyed having you around. At one point you were all Emilia missed at night. “I miss Zacharito,” she would cry. Thank you for always loving and taking care of my sister and for being so selfless. You always thought about everyone around you and I know that you are looking out for your loved ones right now. Until we meet again. From the Mejia Family, we will miss you Zacharito!

I didn't know you or your family very well, but my mom and grandma would always mention how well-raised and well-mannered you and your brothers were.  It's rare to hear that about each one of somebody's kids... But after seeing these pictures and kind words everyone has posted, I'm convinced you were born with a servant's heart.  The most important thing Jesus cared about was serving other people and it was this type of character that changed the world forever when He left. 

RIP
from the Smith and Ramirez family

Thank you for loving my sister the way you did and for taking care of her. I never had to worry about her when she was with you and I know you'll continue to watch over her. 
Till we meet again Zacharoo! 

I remember the first time I met Zach. He had picked Cynthia and Me from the airport. When I got in the car I saw that he had a bottle water and snacks for us. It was very thoughtful but then again after getting to know Zach more, that's who he was. Diana and Jeff, you raised a great young man. 
The first time he went with Cynthia to visit us in Fresno I had made dinner for all of us and he got up and started washing dishes and cleaned up the kitchen for me, I was very impressed. I told Cynthia to let him know that he didn't have to do that but he said he wanted to and it was the least he could do since I had made dinner. He would sometimes text me to see how my day was going and how Mando was doing and then he would make sure to tell me that he missed my sister and how perfect she was and then our conversations would continue with sports and smack talk about each other's teams. 
I will always remember his laugh or the emoji laugh he would send me after I would say to him Choo Choo. He would tell me, "Stop Marcy, that makes me laugh every time"
Mando and I will miss him dearly. He had become part of our family. 

Jeffrey and Diana, you and your family are on our hearts and we are praying for your comfort & strength!! I am so sorry, there are no words to express how deeply saddened we are for all of you!! Just know you are loved and cared for!!

Your Cousins in Riverside
Phil & Angelique Dominguez & Family

Always gonna be part of the squad fam bud. Forever in our hearts. R.I.P.

I’m so grateful with the time I had with you. You were such a sweet, kind, gentleman. You thought I was hilarious, which I can appreciate, and you said I was your favorite cousin. I’ll cherish our memories until we meet again. I love you cuz.
