SOME OF THE TOUCHING TRIBUTES INCLUDE:
"RIP Zac. Very fortunate to have called you my friend and spent the time I did with you. Such a positive happy person who lived life to the fullest. Can not show my appreciation enough to the fellas who helped him in ad did their best, you know who you are. Thoughts are with the rest of Zacs friends and family. Much love brother, rest easy X"
"For those who knew Zac, not much needs to be said. This photo [of Zac smiling and cuddling a dog] is a perfect example of his caring heart. He made me stop in the middle of the road so he could get this dog off the road and out of harms way. He then decided to take selfies with the dog in the back of my car and decided to give him a name. After that he made sure the dog was returned to his owner. Zac was always looking out for others. It didn't matter if he was busy, he always had time for those in need. It didn't matter who you were, Zac considered you a friend. And most importantly he was always sharing the love of Jesus with you. There is no one I know in the whole world who was more passionate than Zac Young. He was the biggest goof ball and you couldn't help but love him. I miss freestyling in the car and having awesome foodand convo's with you. Your house was always open to anyone and everyone. I love you so much brother. I know I will see you again."
