I received the following email from Zach's (zachjeepyj) mother Donna and was saddened by the loss. My prayers go out to his family.
"Back in the winter months, you and some others were directing my son, Zach on rebuilding his boat. Zach even posted pics for ya'll to see. He had spoken to me about how helpful you guys had been to him and he was very excited about completing the boat. I am his mother and just wanted to let you know that Zach was in a car accident on May 7th, 2010. God's plans and my plans were not the same. Zach passed away at the scene of the wreck. I just wanted to thank you guys for the direction and encouragement you gave to Zach. He was a good Father, son and brother. He was our best friend and we miss him dearly. With Thanks, Donna - Zachjeepyj's Mom" |

Thanks for sharing this with us Pete.
Donna, Words can't express how sorry we are at the loss of your son. We appreciate you letting us know of his passing. We were all excited for him as he took on a big job of restoring an old boat and the first day he posted he was considered family. My condolences to your family especially his wife, and two young boys. He was obviously a stand up guy and a life taken too soon. Add me to the list of people praying for your family.....Tim |

I'm very sorry to hear that. So sad. It's nice that CCF made a good impression on him for the short time he was a member.

so sorry for your loss. my son michael died at 14 15 yrs ago in a car accident. please keep what strength you can and live for him. you may in time understand that with loss comes love and more compassion than you could have known to be possible. he can give you that along with the many things he has already given to you. right now it may seem to be the end . in time it can become the beginning .. write me if you ever need to. Peter

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. |

I somehow missed Zachs thread, just read it. Admire his enthusiasm, and work ethic. God Bless his family. Dave.

For thousands of years men have felt the irresistible urge to go to sea, and many of them died. Things got better after they invented boats.

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. |

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 |
