Zane was born on Feb 12, 1992. Mom was planning on going to the farm show , but the doc said go home, get ready. He left this world on Sept 8th, 2007.

His preschool years were crazy. The neighborhood was on constant red alert for the little blond boy. He had a way of taking
off wandering with his dogs. Everytime he was found, he would act as if nothing was wrong . Once I found him walking through
the neighbors mature corn field, not scared at all. His version of hide and seek, and his face would light up with a smile
when I found him, Making it impossible to punish him, for once again giving me a heart attack.

He won his first reward in Kindergarten. His teacher, scrambling to come up with an appropriate positive reward for each
student, awarded him the certificate for his skills in Oral Communication. Aka " He who cant stop talking".

The kid was remarkably lucky. Every raffle he entered into he won. A special stone from the rock show, a bike, even an ipod .
He also always managed to get the biggest fish, winning the $5 bet with friends when they went fishing.

He loved animals, and was always bringing little kittens ( usually feral,) and anything else he could find in the house .

He was a good student at Sundale, and had many friends. At his 8th grade graduation, he won the outstanding Ag student award .
He was very proud of that. In highschool, his Freshman year, he was involved with football, the marching band and FFA.
As a sophmore, He intended to continue with football, weight training and many other sports.

Zane loved everything outdoors. He loved to go fishing, ride quads, archery , shooting, wildlife and just being outdoors. Together
with his cousin and best friend James, the two of them would come up with the most crazy stunts that boys do to amuse each
other and cause instant grey hair growth to the parents. God love boys!

His long time intentions were to be A United States Marine. And just recently he had decided to become a police officer

after his stint with the Marines.
He really was a great, caring, respectful person, and a mother couldnt ask for a better son.

His death was certainly unexpected. His decision to take his own life was spur of the moment panic. Anyone reading this thinking it would be a cool thing to do....let me tell you , you are too young to understand just how UNCOOL this is. It will completely devastate your parents and change their lives forever, not in a good way. Seek some help. Talk to someody. You ARE worth living.



I Only Wanted You. They say memories are golden... well maybe that is
true. I never wanted memories, I only wanted you. A million times I
needed you, a million times I cried. If love alone could have saved
you, you never would have died. In life I loved you dearly... In death
I love you still. In my heart you hold a place... no one could ever
fill. If tears could build a stairway and heartache made a lane, I'd
walk the path to heaven and bring you back again. Our family chain is
broken,and nothing seems the same. But as God calls us one by one, the
chain will link again.

" once more, Ill say goodbye to you, "

Winter by Bayside
When winter falls next year,
I'll be holding on to anything nailed down.
As for being patient,
With fate and all it's getting old.
And my mind is slowly changing.

I'm calling all my oldest friends,
Saying sorry for this mess we're in.
And I'm waiting, waiting,
For the sun to come and melt this snow,
Wash away the pain and give me back control, control.

An angel got his wings and we'll hold our heads up,
Knowing that he's fine.
We'd all be lucky to have a love like that in a lifetime.

Should we still set his plate?
Should we still save his chair?
Should we still buy him gifts?
And if we don't did we not care?

It makes you think about the life you've led,
The s**t you've done, the things you've said,
And its grounding, grounding.
I've been feeling 3 feet tall this month, hardly indestructible,
But the snow melts and the rhythm still goes on.

An angel got his wings and we'll hold our heads up,
Knowing that he's fine.
We'd all be lucky to have a love like that in a lifetime.

Friends stay side by side.
In life and death you've always stole my heart.
You'll always mean so much to me it's hard to believe this.

These nights in vans,
These nights in bars,
Don't mean a thing with empty hearts.
With empty hearts.

An angel got his wings and we'll hold our heads up,
Knowing that he's fine.
We'd all be lucky to have a love like that in a lifetime.

Friends stay side by side.
In life and death you always stole my heart.
You've always meant so much to me it's hard to believe.
So much to me it's hard to believe.
So much to me it's hard to believe this.
