In Loving Memory of a young
Man gone too soon. May you rest in Peace. Love and Prayers to his Family ❤️
I love you so so much Zahc. I miss you more than you’ll ever know. There are so many good memories we have shared. My favorites are when you would ask if I wanted to wear your glasses because I left mine at home and couldn’t see in Spanish class, or when you came over and you went up the back way which was all the way through the woods, or when we spend a whole class trying to find a little lamb stuffed animal you lost. You have never failed to cheer me up and make me smile. Thank you for being you. I am so lucky to have met you.
I love you my sweet boy. you were my first born, the reason I became a mother. The reason I tried to strive to give you the best life possible. You were the reason I had a smile on my face. I remember you where still in elementary school there was a book fair and you asked for more money than what you were already getting. I found out at the end one of you friends COULDN’T afford to get anything so you got your friend what he wanted. Zahcary that’s just how you were that kind of person you saw someone ANYONE I need you were there. I love you, I love you, I love you. I hope God let be my guardian angel 😇
I’m so so very sorry.
My heart goes out to you and your family. May God be with you during this difficult time. ♥️♥️🙏🙏

Zahcary,
My beautiful young man. No words can express the loss I feel. I said the same thing when I first looked into your blue eyes. No words could express the Joy I felt. You had a great plan, Marine Corps then a Police Officer. My boy a Police Officer wow. then I told you, ” If you come to get me be ready cuz I’m Running”. You looked up at me with a BIG smile and simply said OKAY. That was great I loved it. I remember all the Great times we had and I’ll cherish them forever. like Blue Thunder the powerweels truck you flipped over . You wiggled out from under it, flipped it back over jumped in and off again. Your favorite colors where Green and Yellow. You loved Your PC games. You loved Animals and nature. I rented your favorite movie as a little boy, Disney’s Pixar cars. We must of bought three copies of that damn movie. I made it through most of it. Your favorite song as far as I know is Rainbow In The Dark. not sure by who, but just like me you probably got a lot of favorite songs. I miss you so much Son. I was so proud when I watched you walk across the stage at your Graduation. One of the biggest achievements of my life was you Son. I know overtime the sadness will fade , the pain will dull down and all the fantastic memories you gave me will fill in and heal the wounds. I got to figure out a way to apologize to our neighbors around gooney minor loop. I drank the rest of the moonshine I got on our vacation and celebrated your life. They called the cops talking about a crazy shirtless guy screaming something about trump. lol I might of said his name once or twice but it was your name I was screaming at the top of my lungs. all the way around. I know you got a kick out of that. I also have to apologize to front Royal Police department. showed up at the house, I came out nothing but boxers drunk and pretty much declared war on them. they were very professional both officers. I kicked them off the property. They left when they should have tazed me tackled me and put me in a cell. I know you’re crazy Dad right. I had to do it Son, celebrate your life. Forever and Always love my handsome young man. I hope you found the peace you where looking for…. FOR THOSE READING THIS NOW IF YOU FEEL DEPRESSED OR FEEL LIKE YOU’R UNWANTED PLEASE SPEAK UP AND SAY SOMETHING YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!! #TALK THE DARK AWAY #
Scott and family, my deepest condolences to you and your family. God be with you all in the days ahead.
Dear Family: I do not know you folks personally but I do live in the Browntown area and learned of your very tragic loss. We understand as we lost a dear family member many years ago in a similar way. After time, we learned to remember he was in a place of love and beauty but is still in our hearts today and will be forever. We will be praying for you daily as you deal with your loss. God Bless all of you.
