I am so sorry for your loss. I wish I had the words to comfort your family, but I don’t. I don’t think there are any words that would suffice for a time like this. I am praying that God will give you answers, peace, and understanding. Much love?

Patti, I am so very sorry for your loss. I am thinking of you and praying for you and your family during this difficult time.
Patti- Praying for peace for your family and sending hugs and love!?♥️
Patti, I’m sending you my love and prayers. If you need anything, please ask. Don’t carry this alone.
Patti, I am so very sorry. I know your heart is breaking – broken. Your mind is torn and confused. You are reeling. All of those feelings are okay. And however long you feel them is okay, too.
Know that even though it may feel that God has left you or turned away from you, He has not. You are still imprinted in His hand and He is mourning with You. Turn to Him and receive His comfort.
If I could, I’d be in the ATL tomorrow. Until I can get together with you, know that I am praying for you and grieving with you. Tell Mike to give you a big hug and imagine that’s from me.
Love you, Girl.
Mike, we are praying for all of you. Hugs!!!
There are no words that can bring you comfort. I am truly sorry for your loss. I will keep your family in my prayers.
My heart goes out to Zach’s family and friends. I hope you can feel the strength and love within the community and how much his friends loved Zach. Remember him with fond memories!. An angel watching down on all of you hoping only the best for each and every one.
Rest in peace Zach!
Thanks for all the laughs
Fly high !
Mike, may God be with you and your family during this time of grief. Our prayers are with you.
Zach, I’m going to miss you man! We will see you again!
Patti,
I’m so sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine the pain. My heart is breaking for you. My prayers are with you and your family.
Patti,
My heart breaks for you!! With all my heart that is heavy and soul I pray for your peace and comfort & healing during this difficult time. ❤️
Patti,
Please know that I am keeping you and the entire family in my prayers. There are no words that I can say that will help, I know, but please let me know if you want to talk or need anything and I’ll be there.
My prayers are with you.
Patti, I’m so sorry for your loss! Loosing a child is the most difficult and traumatic event that a Mother has to endure. I can’t even begin to imagine the heartache and the pain you feel right now. Please, know that you were a wonderful and fantastic Mother. You were always there for him; listening with an open heart and mind. You taught him that he could come to you whenever he needed you. You provided the love, support, and guidance for him to grow into the man he is today. Sometimes, it’s difficult for our children to discuss the things that are hurting or bothering them, things that are going on in their life and world causing grief and great pain. Our children don’t want their parents to know they are in such pain. Never doubt yourself that you failed him at all. You are a fantastic mother. A Mother, that showed love, compassion, comfort, respect and taught him to dream and work hard for whatever he desired. He loved you so very much. My deepest sympathy my sweet friend. Please let me know if you need anything. My continued thoughts and prayers will be with you, your family, friends and many loved ones. Hugs surround you and give you comfort and peace as the days go forward. ❤️
May God pull you all close as you seek Him in this most difficult time. So sorry for your loss
Patti

Mike, I am so sorry for your loss. May the Lord give you peace in this hour of need and pain. Please let me know if you need anything. Bless you.
Patti and Mike, we watched him grow from a little bitty fellow with the biggest smiles, to the cute preteen and then kept up with you as he blossomed into the handsome young man…our hearts are broken for you and no words seem to express the grief… Seems like yesterday he was running in my door looking for Steven… and all I can picture is that mischievous smile and sly grin that he was up to something! Please know our entire family, (all 14 of us now) But as a family, the Showalters are praying for your family… We love you… Debb, Michael, Ryan & fam, Kyle & fam, Daniel, Steven & Marissa.
“And the last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing.” (1 Corinthians 15:26) I cannot imagine the pain that your family is going through right now. God promises that he will soon wipe away and reverse the effects of this enemy that causes so much pain. Your precious son, brother nephew and friend will be brought back to you and you will never have to experience the pain of losing him ever again. This is a promise from God! (Isaiah 33:24; Isaiah 25:8; Revelation 21:4,5)
Mike, so sorry for your loss. I will be praying the lords wraps his arms around you and you find peace and comfort. Zach, was a handsome boy. Now hes with Jesus, you’ll see your boy again. God Bless., Sherry
Mike, you have worked for many years to serve and protect the city. Our hearts go out to you in this time of loss. God be with you and your family to provide comfort and peace.

Mike, I’m sorry for your loss. I wish I had the words to comfort and ease the pain. I personably didn’t know Zach but we are all family and we are all praying for you and your family. I pray that God gives you comfort and peace in your heart.
Extremely saddened by the news of the passing of Zach. Prayers are with you!
Patti,
Sorry for your loss, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
My condolences to family. Please draw comfort in the promise that the last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing. 1 Corinthians 15:26.
Mike and Patti, just learned of the passingly of Zac. I am so very sorry. The loss of your son is heartbreaking . I remember Zac as a little boy, always smiling and wanting to help me in the yard. Full of questions all the time. I will always have happy memories of him and you all. My prayers are with you both and again I am soo very sorry.
Zach I love and miss you so much. You broke this old man’s heart. I got your Skippy truck engine fixed and had old Skippy painted. You would love it. I will keep your truck until I die and then it will become your brother Justin’s truck.
Love Dad
