I knew Zack as a proud family man and for those of us who were lucky enough to know him, understood that his dedication, his help serving and being a part of the town of Dayton meant so much. I am so saddened and I hope Zack's family and friends can feel the outpouring of love and prayers for peace and comfort. My wife and I want Zack's family to know that we are here for anything they need.”

Our hearts go out to his family and friends.”
