Zachary Allen Cook

His name means "the Lord remembers"

He was definitely one chosen and uniquely set apart for the LORD God. He was one with high standards and a strong sense of justice. His character was pure and his heart was genuine. He was never fully understood by this world, but is with Jesus Who made him and fully understands him. He was filled with wisdom and applied it in all areas of his life. Graduating with highest honors from Paideia Academy in 2018, he entered UTs honors engineering department and worked faithfully as a research assistant in that same engineering department. He also served the city of Knoxville with much pride as an explorer. He loved giving to others and being of service.
