Remembering Zach

Zach was a fierce and loyal friend who lost a battle we did not know he was fighting. Zach loved singing in the Chorus at Wyomissing Area Junior Senior High School. He was a proud Eagle Scout with Troop 413, Wyomissing, and enjoyed Marvel movies, comics, Star Wars and playing video games and hanging out with his friends.


Zach was a great son, brother and friend, who never hurt a soul in his life. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him.

To honor his life, we have created Zach’s Hope Fund of YCCF. Initial grants from the Fund will support Wyomissing Area Music Association through the Wyomissing Area Education Foundation, BSA Hawk Mountain Council, to support projects in memory of Zach, and the TSC Alliance to support adolescents living with tuberous sclerosis complex.

A permanent endowment fund, grants from Zach’s Hope Fund of YCCF will ultimately support impactful suicide prevention and mental health programs.

Nothing Gold Can Stay

By Robert Frost

Nature’s first green is gold,

Her hardest hue to hold.

Her early leaf’s a flower;

But only so an hour.

Then leaf subsides to leaf.

So Eden sank to grief,

So dawn goes down to day.

Nothing gold can stay.
