Zach was an employee of mine at the Orange Beach ABC who quickly became a friend of mine and also a friend of my husband. I spoke with him in December at length he was a super person. He and my husband John B. Moore(11-3-1961--11-1-2017)are now in their forever home peaceful, probably having one of their favorite conversations concerning Auburn football. Prayers for the family.

With deep sympathy, I'm sorry for your loss. May Jehovah God who supplies endurance and comfort sustain you at this time of need. May loving words at Isaiah 25:8 comfort you at this painful time. May you have many fond memories that you shared with your loved one. 2 Corinthians 1:3,4

So sorry for your loss, Zach was a very intelligent and kind person. He took several classes that I taught at SUSCC . My heart aches for you (his family) as he was a shooting star that burned so bright and is gone way to quickly. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Zach was a nice guy and a good hearted person I didn't get to know him for very long but I do know that he loved his family, pets and Auburn football we worked together for a very short time at Baxter, he will be missed. War Eagle my friend.

Susan,
It was with deep sorrow that I recently learned of the passing of your son, Zachary.
I pray that the love of family and friends will give you strength in the days ahead. I remember Zachary as a student and also as a little boy when I first joined Auburn. He was a sweet and kind young man and handsome too.
Please let me know if I can do anything to help comfort you and your family. I have gone though this numerous times during the past 2 years and it has been very difficult for me but I know they are in a better place. Love you, Helen
