I met Zeek when I was around eleven years old and was really close with him for a couple years. I knew at that age that Zeek had an amazing soul. No matter what he managed to light up every single room that he entered. Even at the age of eleven, he would remind me to always do things with a smile on my face and to never give up when I failed. Something I will never forget is how contagious Zeek’s laugh was. I remember one time at a track meet I came to Zeek in tears and within a couple minutes I was laughing and smiling with him. He had this effect on too many people for me to count. I am so grateful I was able to get close to Zeek when I was younger and that I was able to meet such a loving and caring person. I wish we had stayed more in touch over the years but you grew to doing bigger and better things. I know life won’t be the same for the people you were close to now but heaven gained an angel and I know that for certain. Keep laughing up there Zeek. Thank you for all the memories. Until I see you again, lots of love.
