I am Zacks Aunt Bobbi.  
I remember when Zach and Brianna were real little and I would go to visit them,  I always brought them m&ms. 
I didn't dare show up without them.  Zack was the sweetest person.  He used to play golf and loved it.  
I remember one year for Halloween,  he dressed up like the incredible hulk.... He was an adult and he was so funny. 
Aunt Bobbi loved you Zack attack.  I will see you soon!

Zach.... I remember having to break the news to our crew about what happened and it hit us all like a brick. We all lost a brother that day. You were asked for by name more than any other person in our Xbox Family. And your voice will forever ring through our souls big homie. I’ve taught my kids your famous “YOU DONT WANT THIS SMOKE!!!” Line. 

People will say online friends aren’t real friends, but you were so much more than just a friend to us. Forever our brother from another mother. 

To Mom- You raised a real man.  Not just some burly lumberjack like anyone would expect the first time they meet Zach, but a wholehearted, sent straight from heaven, GREAT man. You did a spectacular job teaching our brother to instill the love you gave him to literal faceless strangers. We knew, that love, that piece of himself he gave to everyone, was forever in our hearts instead of our headsets now. MP loves you. And we are here for you <3

There is really nothing other to say that Zach, a.k.a SummerknightMP was the best at Apex. The funniest in our group. The most loving. The most energetic. Literally the glue keeping us together. I will never forget all the late night facetimes, all the times we laughed on xbox together, all the conversations. I miss Zach everyday. For never meeting in person, it's truly amazing how good of a friend he was to me. Love you always Summer. I'll never forget you.

One of my most favorite memories with our friend Zach was the time we went to the Toby Mac concert. Trinity has purchased VIP tickets and off we went. Zach was so excited to be so close to one of his favorite Christian artists. When Toby Mac came to the stage, he winked and gave a thumbs up! 👍 Zach nearly tripped over the barriers in excitement. We danced and sang until we had no voice left. We took off to purchase some merchandise and Zach picked out an anchor necklace( I think but maybe a bracelet). Not sure which artist that was from, but it spoke volumes to Zach. So much he had an anchor tattoo placed on his arm. Our dear friend Zach was so full of life. He allowed Trinity and I to again live life without abandon. He made me feel young again. He dared me to just live life without a care in the world. We often told him he was our greatest find here in Killeen. And he was. He always will be. We loved him like a son. I know he loved us right back. 

I meet Zach when I was about 13 years old and he was would always  greet me at the door and always have a conversation with me.  He always give the best hugs. Every Sunday he would give me a bear hug and always ask how I’m . The last conversation we had was about how he saw me on Facebook in my explorers uniform and that he was proud of me and gave me a big hug . He will always be the greatest person to give bear hugs too and best easter bunny man ! I will truly miss Zach !! He was a great person 

We weren’t as close as we had been when Zach passed. We hadn’t spoken in a few weeks. The last place I saw him was Copperas Cove Walmart in the fruit section lol. He bear hugged me and asked how I was doing. He cared about the answer.  The best memory I have of Zach was when I had first joined the worship team at faith point. It was my first time singing a solo song and I was really nervous. Zach told me to look at him and Kristin because they would be standing in the back. I got up there, the lights were down but I saw him waving lol. He had a goofy smile on his face and added a thumbs up. He was such a good friend. So supportive. Kind and loving. In his homegroup, he gave me advice on how to deal with the mental health issues I was having at the time. The battle was tough. But he was always a text or phone call away. Ready to pray, say something I needed to hear, or just crack me up to get a smile out of me. I’m sorry Zach. I miss you like crazy. Love you forever. I’ll see you soon then. 

I did not know Zach for very long and even though we decided we were better off as just friends he cheered me up in one of the toughest times in my life. He reminded me it was okay to be you goofy self and smile. I will forever be greatful to him for helping me through and showing me it’s okay to let walls down and people in not everyone is the same.  You had such a big heart and forever will be missed!
