Rebecca and Daniel, I’m so sorry about Zachary. My heart is just crashed and I can’t imagine what you are going though. Zachary was like a huge ray of sunshine, and a smile as big as the sky.

Extending our deepest sympathy to you during this time. Our prayers and blessings are with you. Saylor has been telling me stories and memories of her fun times with Zachary and the way that he made her laugh. As others have mentioned, he had a glowing smile and twinkle in his eye that is absolutely unforgettable. We are honored and blessed to have known him and have time with him.
The Johnston Family
I had the pleasure of meeting Zachary last school year on a field trip with Keaton’s class, and the one thing that stuck in my head was how curious and friendly he was. Oh, that smile….how could you miss that! There were a few times Zachary would include Keaton when he would get a reward at school.
It is always a blessing to think of the amazing people that cross our lives, whether it is for just a moment, or for a lifetime. It is apparent that he touched so many people in his short ten years, and he will certainly be missed by the extended Art Space community.
Daniel and family,
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your dear son. I.cannot begin to imagine what you are going through. Words do not really help in times like this but I just wanted t to let you know how sorry I am and you are in my thoughts and prayers.
So sorry for your loss. I remembered him on Black Mountain Stingray team and in scout. Very friendly happy young boy. Always smiling. Prayers for you all.
