RIP Zachary Tellier

SmootSmack · 10-03-2007, 01:15 AM

I'm sure none of you know who he is, but he was one of my closest friends and my roommate in college. A great, fun-loving guy who was always there for anyone at any time. Especially me when I was hammered at 3am

Zach served his country, and served it well. I'll miss you Z Dog

I am so sorry to hear this. He seems like a fine, fine American and we are all at a loss with his passing.

I lost my best friend a couple years ago. It still hurts and I miss him all the time.

RIP to a Brother in Arms

Sorry to hear about the loss. May god bless his family and friends in this time of sorrow.

Monkeydad · 10-03-2007, 11:10 AM

I have a close friend and his brother who are both in the 82nd AB stationed at Fort Bragg. Well, my friend just finished up his 4 years, but his brother has opted to stay in longer and last I heard was in Afghanistan. They have have been serving together.

Your friend was a great man and we all owe him a lot. He IS a hero.

Prayers for his family and you also.

I'm really sorry about your loss SS. The article definately showed that he was a true American hero and, on top of that, was a funny guy (e.g., "I'm a non-alcoholic).

I'm still in shock over this. I'll admit to shedding quite a few tears over it. Last night, our other roommate Andy and I were talking about our upcoming 10 year college reunion and reminiscing.

I remember Zach was an avid photographer and one morning he took some pictures of me, hair all mussed up rolling out of bed, in just my boxers brushing my teeth, then eating cereal with the milk dripping down my chin. A couple of weeks later I see these pictures of me in all my splendor on display in our Student Center. First Prize. Turned out Zach had entered them into some contest. You'd think I'd have been mad at him for doing that without my permission, but there was just no way you could get mad at Zach.

Anyhow, neither Andy nor I had spoken to Zach in a few months. You know how it is, you get busy and lose touch, you keep saying to yourself "tomorrow." But I decided it'd been too long and I was going to email him. But first I thought, just for the hell of it, let me Google his name and see if there happens to be anything on him. Being in the military, I figured there might be some small town article like "Local Boy Serving Overseas" and I was going to tease him about it. We had these running jokes about our respective hometowns and the local coverage of them (sort of inside joke stuff I guess).

So anyway, I did a search and this news was sadly the first thing that popped up. It was really difficult to call Andy this morning and tell him the news.

You know people say that my job must be so cool, and most of the time it is. But Zach died serving our country, and Andy risks his life each day as a cop in SE DC. I'm thankful for them both.
