Zach accepted Christ at the age of 12, and was a member of Enterprise Baptist Church. Zach was a very talented singer and had a great love for country music. His favorite color was orange. He enjoyed playing his guitar, singing, riding four wheelers, helping his friends work on cars, farming with his Uncle Herbie, helping customers with auto parts at the parts store with Uncle Bryan, hunting, fishing, spending time with family and friends, riding down dirt roads and "kicking up mud".

He performed at Lakeland Cultural Arts Theater and auditioned for the American Idol. Zach was such a caring young man who never met a stranger. He was always willing to help someone. If you met Zach one time, you would never forget him. His favorite saying was "I got this!"
