,,,God sent him to a family... Elder Webb Four years ago, tonight LG & I were in Utah, putting up a Christmas tree, at Skeeter and Heathers house. It had been a night of laughter, a lot of love, and good eats. Several hours later, in the darkness of early morning... we got the phone call, no parent ever wants to receive. There is not a day, that goes by where he is not remembered in some, small wonderful way. I get out the CD of his funeral service every now and then, and cry listening to the talks. There is a feeling of unitedness and peace, even with babies and young children, heard squalling in the background. My heart goes out to his sister Brittany, who is battling her own emotions, and trying to quiet her little one. The common factor in each one, is that Zack, loved and was loved by his family. Rock, tried to come up with one word that described him, and just couldnt...there were several: Joyful...Loving...Caring...Kind. In sobs of grief, Starr, declared to us all...that indeed he was a Simple Man, who loved the mountains, to hunt and fish and was most at ease when in these elements. Skeet, Who is Zack, Ellison? He is, a son, grandson, uncle, friend, cousin...he is, my brother. Im taking the time to post tonight, because I want you all to know, that ZKs good days, were so, so much more...than the hard ones. His heart was good, his addiction took hold, and as much as he fought it, (and fight he did, for 16 years)...in the end, years and years of prescription abuse just messed his body up so much, it did not know how to function correctly...healthy. In a journal, we found in his handwriting, declarations of his heart, I just want to be the best neighbor, and for all the children to know, that they are loved by Brother Ellison. I want my brothers and sisters to know that I would die for them, if in doing so would save their lives...I want to be an honorable leader, respectable and kind. I want to serve and to be loving and generous with my time. I want to be a hard worker. I want to be worthy of respect. I want to be the man, every wife deserves to have...oh, how I want to quit my bad habits... Who is Zack Ellison? A son of God, who was sent to a family~
