I am so sorry for your loss. I had the privilege of teaching Zak for a short time at Stratford High School. He was an amazing student, loved helping others. I used to love the catch up emails, he would tell me about his other teachers and what he wanted to do after school. Such a great kid. He will be truly missed. Prayers and thoughts to the family

Fond memories of your wonderful boy Zak, friendship and memories that will last forever.

Very sorry and saddened by the loss of Zak, a very special boy who was larger than life giving 100% to everything, a friend to all, and so respected by his pairs. It was a privilege to be one of his 1stXV coaches. He was an athlete as a coach we all enjoy to have, 100% effort and always ready to learn. His life has been far to short but for the time I had the pleasure of knowing Zak, fully lived, respected by all, leaving a life long mark in everyone's heart.
Sorry I can't be with you on Wednesday to celebrate Zak but my thoughts and prayers will be with you.
