Zac was a beautiful man who loved his family and close friends. He loved and adored his precious daughter, Aubrey. He found true love with Maggie. He was an amazing guitarist and lyrics writer. He and his uncle Rick are jamming together in heaven. He loved to go fishing. He loved to skateboard to put fear in his parents. He liked watching True Crimes on Netflix. He loved going out to eat with his family. He would always happily and enthusiastically say, “Hi, Grandma,” when he talked to his Grandma Judy on the phone. He enjoyed watching sports with his dad, and sometimes would go to the golf course with his pops. He loved to be with his mom. He loved Maggie and Aubs. Forever missed. Never forgotten. Always loved. We will see you and hug you, again.
