After losing a fellow officer in the same manner just a few days ago I know firsthand the pain everyone is going through. My heart goes out to his fellow Troopers, family and friends. My prayers are with you.

We worked with Zach almost on a daily basis whenever there was a tow truck needed. When Zach came to D1, we became friends immediately. Zach took being a State Trooper very seriously, however always made time to be a good friend. This is a reminder of how dangerous the job of being a State Trooper is. Thank you Zach and all the Troopers at the Colorado State Patrol for your dedication and service. Zach will be missed and never forgotten and please be careful out there.
