Zach used to be in a high school vocational class with me, Computer Engineering at Jonesboro High. I have always thought of him to be a fine, intelligent young man. He was nice and supportive of me whenever I was going through a tough time, but he wouldn't speak about anything to me. Zach always listened to understand, but not to reply. We didn't talk outside of school, but I felt like we were good friends. Whenever we received a test, we would always give each other frightened looks. Sometimes we would buddy up on test advice and he would mostly be the most help to me whenever we had the end of the semester finals and also while building a computer. The class misses him and I just hope the family is holding well. The reason why I came type something is because a little girl at Nettleton just recently committed suicide and she was in band so our band director at Westside informed us. I, also, have my roundabouts on contemplating suicide, but I think of my passions and every detail of my life that I would miss and then I would back out. I wish that I could've had the chance to help him, but he chose that he didn't belong and that is perfectly fine. I don't believe much into Heaven or Hell, but I am sure his soul is finally at peace.

I am sorry for y'all's lost. I didn't know Zach well but I did consider him a friend. Me and him were lab partners in Chemistry together and he would always help me out when i didn't understand something. I didn't talk much to him this school year and I regret that. Whenever i saw him in the hallway he had a smile on his face. Now when i am in the hallway it feels like a totally different place because i don't seem him there anymore.

Words are not sufficient to express how deeply saddened I am by the loss of Zach. He was in my 10th grade English class. His smile and wonderful kindness brightened my day. After his time in my class, I continued to speak to him in the hallways. He had such a gentle nature and good heart. Please accept my heartfelt prayers for strength for your family. I am so sorry. With deepest respect,
