Dearest Zac,
The love we felt for you, and your love for us, was a truly precious gift. Even amidst our deep sorrow, we felt a profound peace as we reflected on your life and your unwavering trust in God. Your most important friendship, dear Zac, was with Jesus Christ, and through Him, you blessed us soooooooooo much.
We are so comforted by the knowledge that for those who "die in the Lord," death can be sweet, and there is a glorious hope of a resurrection, for all who live together in love and mourn with that hope (D&C 42:45-46). We trust that these scriptures apply to you and hope they apply to all of us.
Your gentle soul, rooted in Christ, remains a cherished memory, and the simplicity and intricacy of the snowflake remind us of you...so simple yet so unique, a cherished child of God.
As you have shared, "Jesus is my only hope." This truth brought you peace, and it brought us peace and especially brings us peace now.
With eternal love and hope,
Aunt Suzi and Uncle Garry
I have a myriad of memories with Zac especially during the hundreds of hours I was expected to babysit him.
There’s one that showed his loyalty to his friends. I often took him to his soccer practices when he was 4. I thought he was excited about his first game until we got there. His coach and I couldn’t convince him to go onto the field.
I finally asked him why he refused to play. He said it was because he didn’t know half of the other kids (the other team.) He wanted to remain loyal to his friends.
I haven’t found a memory where I remember Zac being competitive. His soul was just too gentle.
Unfortunately, I know of times when others took advantage of his gentleness and placed demands on him. Some of those moments caused his heart to hurt.
The phrase “rest in peace” is very poignant right now. I’ll always mourn his loss and cherish his memory. His gift of music is truly a loss. I now know no one else can place any demands on him. His heart and mind truly are at peace.
Zac was a celebrity to me as a young pianist (I was awe struck when we got to perform a duet together when we were 12!), and a dear, dear friend when we studied with Dr. Holden together at BYU. I remember the first day of our first semester in our music theory class as the professor had us all introduce ourselves and Zac said his name was Zac and he was studying piano performance but he would have studied "whistling performance" if it was an option. He has a great sense of humor and always made us laugh. And his whistle really was impressive. I always knew he was around because his whistling would echo through the hallways of the HFAC throughout the day. That was so lovely.
One time Zac and I had lunch together and I couldn't help but laugh when he pulled out a leaf of kale and was just munching on it LOL!
Zac always made time for me. He was a wonderful friend even through the stresses of school and his own busy schedule. His music was special and the way he taught and thought was too. Everyone who knows Zac loves him. He was a real light in the world. I miss you so much Zac.
I remember one family reunion. I went out into the lit hall of the lodge, where our large extended family was staying, and Zac was sitting on the floor reading the scriptures. It was a quiet, powerful moment that showed his deep faith in Jesus and his commitment to God's word. What a blessing it was to know Zac.

Zac changed my life. I will be forever grateful for my barefoot Vienna buddy and disciple of Christ. I am thrilled to see him again when we stand with Christ at the end of time.
