Please pray for Zac that he is with the Lord. Pray for his family. He was a good, young man and friend. A smart. funny, witty individual. I am stunned. He comes from a good family. Another case of somebody’s little boy being taken too soon. Again, please pray for his soul to be with the Lord and for his family.
