Zach was a wonderful person who we both had the privilege of serving alongside on York College of Pennsylvania’s Student Senate. He was a wonderful example of what it meant to have passion for YCP as a student and how to do your part to make our college the best possible version of itself. Zach was never shy or hesitant to do whatever was asked of him as a General Senator or speak up when he had a point of concern. As President and Vice President, we often noted if we could duplicate Zach as he was an excellent example of the type of person that you'd want serving the student body. We were both always greeted with a smile with every interaction that we had with him, including every weekly meeting and any activity we were involved in.

 Zach will always be remembered for his warm character and caring nature that he showed toward everyone he interacted with. We both consider ourselves extremely lucky for having known Zach and worked with him so closely while we were students at YCP. Zach will be truly missed and always remembered fondly as we look back at our time at York College of PA.

We are so sorry to learn of Zach's passing. It's seems trite to say just what a genuinely good & nice guy he was, but it's just true. He was a friend to my son Chris at St. Joseph's school. We have many good & fun memories of him. I personally shared an admiration of Monty Python  with Zach. 
Our deepest sympathy to family and friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

What a beautiful service and send off for Zach.  Bob, your words were so moving and heartfelt.  Sending love and prayers from the Pallace family.

I worked with Zack at MZQ. He was such a nice young man. He was sweet, caring, and kind.  No matter how hard I tried to get him to stop calling me "ma'am" he always did. He said it was just how his mother raised him. 

Zack's time on this earth was much too short, but he left a big impression on everyone. 

It was such a gift to care for Zack and get to know him and his family. He had an amazing zest for life and gave props to his parents for all of his great personality traits. Zack will be sorely missed by his family, friends, co-workers, and all who had the pleasure of caring for him. 

Zack was an absolute delight to be around. His smile and great sense of humor was contagious. I remember when he attended a party that our firm had sponsored at the International Council of Shopping Centers in Las Vegas. Zack wasn’t afraid to ask any of the female dignitaries  to dance, prior to Carly! He had a absolute ball even though he didn’t know a soul at the party except for his Dad. He could hold a conversation and feel comfortable with adults even at a young age. We will miss him dearly. Now it is Mary’s turn again to be entertained by her son. My heart goes out to Zack’s wonderful and tight knit family... Bob, Ashley and Ryan and Carly. I have incredible admiration for all of you. Karen and Howard 

I have many great memories of Zach from my English class at CHC. He always had a kind word and positive attitude. What an upstanding and loyal young man. I am privileged to have taught him and shared in his joyful student life. 

Zach was a strong guy. I admired his persistence and fortitude. In many ways, he was like his Mom. I will miss him as I have missed Mary. 

My condolences to the family. Bob and Ashley, this has to be especially hard. I hope Zach  finds peace and comfort.

Bobby, Ashley and family, 
No words can express the sadness that is felt over your loss. May your hearts find healing and may your memories of Zach stay vivid forever. Sending condolence at this very very sad time. God Bless you and yours



Bob and Ashley, our prayers and thoughts are with all of you at this time . Many  memories of coaching Zach in soccer and baseball at St. Joe Fullerton,  especially his Grand Slam HR that should have been .

I had the honor of teaching Zack at St. Joseph School when he was in the second grade. Zack always had that wonderful sense of humor and always made me laugh.
I also worked with his wonderful mom, Mary, and taught his lovely sister, Ashley.
My heart goes out to all of you. Prayers and love.
Mrs. Katherine Diggs

I've had the pleasure of working with Zack for 5 years.  I know that sounds cliche' but I do not know any other words to describe his work ethic or our team's synergy.   My employer is  a  client of  MZQ's and I  met him shortly after he was hired.

Zack was our Project Manager and GO TO  person for an  annual project. A huge project that would begin in August each year and not end until April the next year!   Our team relied on Zack and we were all close,  as we met weekly.  We would sometimes "cut up" on the phone and he laughed easily regardless of the stress.     Zack was there for us day or night, he never made you wait for a phone call.  
HE WAS ALWAYS THERE - and you could feel his warmth, and sincerity over the phone.   Zack  was always professional yet down to earth and easy like Sunday morning.    Our team will miss you Zack.  

I remember the day you were born. My mom picked me up from school and we went right to the hospital. I was already obsessed with Ashley and then fell in love with you. Luckily, our mothers couldn’t be without one another and I got to play with you and see you all the time. I’m glad that I got to share with you my love for Jim Carrey, which became a hallmark of jokes and movie quotes. You will be missed Zack, but I’m glad that you are wrapped in Mary’s arms. Hopefully one day we get to see each other again and your memory will live on in our hearts. I love you. ❤️ 

I met Zachary on his first day of First Grade at St. Joseph School.  
He entered my heart that day and that is where he will forever remain. 

 

Our sincerest condolences on your loss.  Our prayers are with you and your family during this time, may our Lord hold your hand.
Bohdana & Bohdan Puzyk

Sulli and I are sending our continued love, prayers, and support during this very difficult time.
