I was blessed to be able to attend the viewing on Saturday. Let me just say I went away from there touched and inspired.
The amount of love that was shown towards Zach was awesome. It was put together very well and it did a great job of representing who Zach Farmer was.
Who I thought Zach Farmer was compared to now who I knew Zach Farmer was are two different things. I only knew Zach as a great Left handed pitcher that dominated for 4 years in SE Ohio. I never knew him as a person. After yesterday I got a great understanding of who Zach was as a person.
That is where I was touched and inspired. Zach was so much more then just a lefthanded pitcher. He was a son, brother, and friend to many. He was a caring person that put others in front of him.
It's easy to get caught up in Zach as a great baseball player, but with all those accolades and trophies they don't mean half as much as what type of person he was in the inside and what he did for others. It was great to hear that Zach gave his heart to Jesus and now it's safe to say that he has been embraced in heaven.
I pray for peace for that family knowing Zach is in a better place and is no longer needing oxygen to help breathe. May he RIP! May the family feel peace. Today will be a rough day laying Zach to rest, but with Faith you will see him again.

Also a huge shout out to the Ohio State Baseball Program for their support along with Coach Beals. Getting all the players there was not an easy task, but they managed to do it. Such a touching tribute on their behalf.
