Zachary was a remarkable young man who always brought life, hope, happiness, and laughter to all those around him. His smile was contagious, often making people smile through jokes or light-hearted impersonations. He was always willing to lend a helping hand or find a way to make someone’s day a little bit brighter. Kindness came naturally with Zachary. Whoever came in contact with him was fortunate enough to know the lasting impression he would have on them.
Zachary was also a dedicated, hard working young man who truly loved his work as a contact ranger at James River State Park, where he took great pride in his role.

He always had a way of seeing people for who they were, with sincerity, caring for them and making them feel valued. Zachary lived with kindness and joy every day in a world where it is often overlooked. He was an extraordinary son, devoted brother, playful uncle, and loyal friend. The love he gave us will continue to live on in the hearts of every life he touched. Though his time here was much too short, the impact he had on this world will never be forgotten.
