From Gabe Myers

I wasn’t close with Zach, we only went on a few bike rides together. But I could tell he was a really cool dude. I knew he had bipolar and was suffering a lot of pain from fibromyalgia. It was sad to see him post his bike for sale in order to cover medical costs and really heartbreaking to hear when he passed. Rest in peace, Zach. I hope there’s less pain on the other side.
