Zach was my son and my best friend. Once Zach was able to go to the bathroom by himself we were joined at the hip. We hunted, fished and camped all the time together and sometimes he brought his friends along. When Zach had just turned 5 he wanted to play pee wee football. I signed him up and unknown to me the park he played at and the pee wee team was a great team of 5 and 6 year-olds. Zach didn't play much that first year but the practices were tough. He took some vicious hits from the older kids but he never backed down. He was hard nosed and tough as a 2 dollar steak. After the first year he was our teams center he wore #23 which was my old high school number. That year our QB was Ryan Ramsey. It was Zach's first year to start and it was Ryan's first year to play QB. They both were 6 years old. Zach went to another park to play but both kids played park ball until the age of 14. Zach played middle school ball as did Ryan. They both ended up at Murphy high school playing on the same team. When both were seniors they were together again. Zach at center and Ryan at QB. It was a magical season for Murphy football and both the boys back together again. Zach grew into a fine young man. He found love from a beautiful girl and they have 2 beautiful boys. Eli and Elliott Sandifer are the spitting image of Zach and I see my son living through them. Zach isn't gone he just isn't here. Zach man I love you and I always will. Having you for almost 31 years was the best 31 years of my life. I know with out a shadow of doubt you are in heaven now and I know the good Lord took you so soon for a reason. I will someday find out the reason and we will be together again. Don't worry about your boys because I'm going to help Hunner raise them like i raised you. I have to stay strong so I can hang with you again my son. I LOVE YOU ZACH......... Dad

A Great Man! A God Fearing Man! A Great Father! An Amazing Friend! His Actions we can only respect now and as Men we can only strive to be more like this Kind, Nurturing, Gentle Soul! All around Great Guy! He loved his Fiancé and Children with All his heart.. And also Loved by these same people... If he ever had a Yin to his Yang Hunner Creel it was you. You stole his Heart and had his Love... He would have given them world if only this world would have Allowed.. Another person taken way to soon.. For that my Heart aches... I am saddened but I know he would not have chosen it that way.. He would want us to celebrate the life that he has had, instead of mourn the life that was taken.. Zach you may be gone but brother you will never be forgotten! Fly High Zach Sandifer!! Love you Bro!!!!
