Zay was one the most caring, loving, and joyful people you could meet. He loved making others laugh and his energy was contagious.

When you were with Zay, you knew you were safe and well taken care of.

Zay loved lighting fireworks, which matched his ability to light up the room. Some of his favorite things were his love for sneakers, jewelry, video games, cars, and music.

Although nothing came easy for Zay, he never asked for a hand out; he always made his own lane and overcame and achieved so much in his 22 years. Graduated high school purchased his own car and just recently got his CDL.
