Zach's favorite saying: If water was whiskey and I was a duck, I'd swim to the bottom and never come up, but waters not whiskey, and I'm not a duck, so lets roll a joint and get all fucked up!
Zach was killed in a car crash on Sunday September 20, 1998. Rob Jones and Zach were traveling to Zachs house after work, and Rob ran off the road. The car flipped end over end, Zach and Rob were both thrown from the car.
Rob could not walk for a long time after the acedent. Rob is now fully recoverd and works at Taco Bell. Rob and I have became better friends through the whole ordeal. We will forever charish the memories that we hold of Zach.
Zach was a senior at my school, and attended the near by Vocalional School. He was also hired the same day I was at Ponderosa Steak House. He died exactly 9 months from the day we were hired. He was loved by all, and will be missed by all. He's not crazy the worms made him crazy!
Zack was a Rebel by birth. He always looked danger in the eye. He always left caution in the wind. The last thing he said to me on that day was "you know what" I said "what" he said "I'm going to live forever" I said "how do you fgure that?" he said "only the good die young, and I'm not good". I will never forgive myself for doubting him that night. His song Country Boys Can Survive by Hank Williams Jr.
I worked 15 months at Ponderosa Steakhouse, and there was not a monthly aniversary that I did not remember Zach and wish that he was spending it with me. There is not a day goes by that I don't think about him. I'm sure there is not one person that does not think about him (that knew Zach). At Ponderosa we kept his memory alive, and I hope they continue to do that without me there. We remembered all the good times we had. I remember the first time I road in Zach's Truck. It was a night when we used to play basketball after work, Clint Warth, Zach and I went for a ride in Zach's truck. Zach was a very interesting driver. *Smile* I have now graduated, and when I did I could not help wishing that Zach was reseiving his deploma also. I think or senior song should have been "Country Boys can Survive" Zachs song. At the ceremony no one mentioned our beloved classmate, it was like our memory of him was erased. I shead a few tears for him and his family, because I realized he would never feel the joy I felt when I finally got out of high school, and away from Ponderosa. My memory of Zach will live forever. With every thing I do I will thanck God I can still do it, because I know Zach can't.
