Loss of CCfan member

Hi Donna,
   first, My condolances on your loss.... There really are no words to express sorrow for the pain and sorrow you've dealt with over the past few months.   There is a section on this site where boats can be listed for sale, that might be the best place to start.   Since there is a lien on the boat, that will have to go through the estate, if it hasn't already.   If you haven't dealt with the lien holder, it is highly likely that you can present the boat as a "complete project", and settle the loan balance for a small percentage of what is owed.... If the bank is unwilling to work with you on the balance, it might be financially best to just let it go back to the bank.    If you're not a co-signer on the loan, this won't impact you at all except for the sentimental portions.     I would venture that the boat is worth 1000-2000 depending on how far into the repair Zach was prior to his passing, and overall condition of the major components of the boats.   Something to think about is that the major structure of the boat has been removed, so structurally it may take some work to get it in a condition that would be safe to move it down the road.    
There are several guys on this site that would be capable of taking on a project of this magnitude, so in honor of Zach's memory, I'd love to see it be sold here.   

Blessings on your journey
Kris

We all will be here when you are ready! JEFF

Oh my gosh this is heartbreaking. Just look at the picture and just cried and cried. Prayers go out to his family especialy the kids. truely heartbreaking...

Donna, it looks like you had a wonderful son to be thankful for and proud of. I cannot imagine any pain could be greater than that of losing one's child. My sympathies and prayers for you and your family.

We have had that trust set up especially for Tyson and Landon's needs. It may be possible to open an account that would be specifically for the rebuild of the boat. Then we would have to locate people who can do the rebuild. Oh, Zach would love that!!!

i would love to donate some money to get his boat finished for his family. im sure he would love to see it finished. let me know if there is somewhere we can donate it to

For you Donna and for you Peter, my deepest and heartfelt condolences to you both. It has been said, this is not how life should go.. Our prayers are with you both. God bless you..

there are no words, my heart dropped and we lost a brother, im very saddened and condolences to the family. Eric

Thanks to all for your prayers.

A few weeks back, Zach and I were discussing the boat and he had shared the forum with me. Zach told me that you guys were willing to help him with any questions he had. He talked about what super guys you were. Zach's word were "Momma, these guys are willing to help me with anything I need to know". Thinking back over discussions we had, I remembered the forum and could not remember the website. I did a search on Google and somehow found it. I began to read the discussions. We did not discuss how he came upon the forum, but I do know he was honored that you took time to direct him in the restoration. I joined the site due to the fact I wanted to thank everyone.

And yes, Peter, I have conquered many things along the path of life. This is one that seems at this time will be unconquerable. Alot of pain and we are praying continuously for strength. Somehow communicating with CCF family is helping me. I knew how important this rebuild was to him.

Zach has two sons, Tyson (6) and Landon (2) whom he loved dearly and was a very dedicated dad. He was a very hard worker and had accomplished much for his age. Zach also has a younger brother, Tyler who is 15. Tyler helped Zach at his granite shop periodically in the afternoons after school. Zach and Tyler had many plans for the summer as to Tyler helping Zach in his granite shop and spending days on the lake in the finished Natique.

If you would like you can visit www.kilgroefuneralhome.com. There are photos posted there of Zach throughout his life.

Again Many Thanks and God bless.
Donna

Oh man, when I saw the pictures of his kids...<sigh>. What a tragedy.

Stay close and let them never forget their Dad.

And also my condolences to you Donna. I imagine a son or daughter leaving us prematurely is just about the worst pain a parent could endure. It is just not supposed to work that way.

There is no good time for a family to suffer a loss. It is even more tragic when it is unsuspected and so sudden. It is a time for families, and friends to get together, console and support each other. CCF is like a big family and we share your loss.

I'd like to offer my condolences to Zach's family.

My heart goes out to his friends and family, but especially his kids.   

Very sad day after I read the post.

Prayers goes out to his family from the Hendricks family.

Indeed sad news.

Prayers from our families in Iowa will go out to Zach and his family.
