Dear Marlon, Maggie,
Penni, Mike, and Aspyn.





I met Zach when i was a freshman in high school.. Zach was definitely considered "cool". I, on the other hand was definitely "not". For some reason he though i was "cool" too. He quickly became one of my best friends and lord have mercy on whomever tried to talk s#!t about me or get in my way. I had never witnessed such loyalty or strength of character before. Zach as well as you Maggie and Penni were there for me during some very difficult times in my young life and I will always be grateful to you for that. Zach was a good friend and a pure soul. I'm lucky to have known him.

"Your life is solely measured on the impact you have on others" -Jackie Robinson

Few have lived who were : as generous as loving, as selfless, as committed, as loyal, as unconditional, as motivated as passionate and as consistent of a GREAT quality human being as Zach Johnson, he meant so much to me, his friends, his associates, the community and the world. If you never got to know him, you missed out. I have rarely loved more people more than him, this is a catastrophic loss for those who were blessed to know him.
I will never be the same again.

With love and a broken heart,

Maggie, Marlon, Aspen & Family,


Words won't begin to describe how much I loved Zach. He was so much to me, a friend, a soldier, a brother. He taught me so much about myself and about life, he is much of who I am today. He was a pillar of strength and swagger.

We are all lucky to have had him in our lives. He will never be forgotten.

With all my love,

Justy

Dear Marlon and Maggie.

I am sorry to hear about your son and our dear friend Zach. I don't know if you remember me little ol small town Trevor from St. George that worked with Zach and that you guys took in like I was family for the short time I lived in Salt Lake . I will forever be grateful to him for the way he treated me. The world has lost a great man but in the short time he was here he sure affected a lot of people in a positive way. I will miss him deeply and love you guys for making him the great person he was.
