Susan, I am praying for you and your family as you walk through this grief process. I lost my 23 year old son suddenly in 07/21. I want to encourage you that He will absorb your grief and comfort you in unexpected ways.
@@mjgray0820 I’m so sorry for your loss. we have to continue to trust him. We were created by him and for him. May you continue to find refuge in his loving arms.
I am so sorry for your loss, my son Emanuel passed away on 3/22/2024 five months today and today we celebrate his 21st birthday as well. It has been a very very difficult and heartbreaking journey for us. We are believers of Jesus Christ and as you said we couldn’t walk this journey without him or him being the foundation of our lives. This morning as I sat drinking my coffee after coming up from my sons bedroom from wishing him a happy birthday something we’ve done for the last 20 years I came across your story. You have no idea how you’ve inspired me today. Knowing that we are walking through this together and in different states, it show you that we are not alone. People are going through so many things. But together in Christ we can get through it. He is and will always be our living hope. May God continue to give you the peace that surpasses all understanding, the God who is near to the broken hearted and crushed in spirit. My prayers will be with your family. In his name.....Judy
we lost our 28 year old son on February 1st 2024 to a heart attack..he was married and had a1.5 year old son..he died in his sleep..had no idea that he had a heart issue
Judy, I am so sorry for the passing of your son, Emmanuel. I lost my husband in 2008 and then my 23 year old son, TIm, in 07/21. I know how hard anniversaries can be. You and your farmily are in my thoughts and prayers.
Thank you for donating Zack’s organs. My sister received a liver transplant. She had an auto immune liver disease. It gave her 25 more years of life that she would not have had otherwise. She got to see her son grow up. Organ donation is a very important thing.
I lost my son, Alejandro, in 2016 from a roadside blast in Kabul , I was so in tune with him, at that very moment, I woke up and knew he was gone. It almost destroyed our family. We are Jewish, and o prayed that God would save our family, and he did.
God bless you James who lost your son in 2016. I pray that you know Jesus Christ as your lord and savior because he's coming back to get all of us very soon only he can fill the void in our hearts. Everyone is searching in this world right now most of the world is turning towards evil as Satan is the prince of the power of the air, and he knows his time is short, so he is distracting everyone with whatever feels good to them. However, God loves us that he didn't make us robots we all have free will and if we choose to reject him and follow what feels good to us, well sadly we choose our own destiny and that's Hell 🔥 Weather people believe in it or not, sadly those that are so angry and stubborn and push the Holy Spirit away will find out it was a very true place and they will spend eternity there screaming and crying and wish that they could go back and call out for Jesus to come and rescue him but he will not, & cannot because he's given us more than enough time and opportunities to accept him but we choose to reject him! I am an intercessor and I pray all day long and night for those all around the world that I don't even know that they would come to know Jesus! God bless you and anyone that reads this MARANATHA! BO YESHUA! 🇮🇱🦁🙌⚔️🤺🕊️🙏😇🇺🇲💟🔥🦁🔥
A beautiful and moving testimony. You may be comforted by knowing that Zac is in perfect peace and joy in Heaven with God. It is a consolation, but you will always feel his loss until you meet him again. God bless your family.
I trained with Zach at American elite, man what a beautiful soul. Ik a lot of people have nice things to say about someone who has passed. however, he really was a kind hearted warrior. to come into a mma gym everyday for hard training even after already doing high school sports workouts, shows love and dedication. He never had an ego and was willing to get work with anyone in the gym. Zach has a lot of beautiful titles to his name, but i just want to say if he was one thing. He was never scared. he had a beautiful smile and was a follower of Christ, till i see you again. I LOVE YOU ZACH✝️❤️👊🏻
Thank you so much for sharing your son’s story. My daughter suffered a severe brain injury from a botched surgery 7.5 years ago. People say to me all the time “I don’t know how you do what you do.” I tell them it’s Jesus who’s been with me all along. I’d rather have Jesus on my worst day than go through it alone.
I'm crying as I write this comment. Jesus is so much better! I can't wait to meet Zach one day along with you dear folks. I can say I love you because I have the same Jesus living inside of me. God bless you all.

What an honor it must be to be Zach’s parents. Such passion for God is seldom seen in one so young. My Daddy was like that. He witnessed in such a loving way, and brought many people to Christ. We lost him to dementia February 2009. I was very close to him and we talked a lot. We worked at the same company for several years. We used to sit in his pickup truck and eat lunch while we listened to Christian radio. He told me once that when he passed on, he wanted a full sermon at his funeral. He said it would be the last chance he would have on this earth to bring someone to Christ. As Southern Baptists, that meant a “Come to Jesus”sermon. My sister was upset when the pastor gave a full sermon at Daddy’s funeral. I told her Daddy is smiling from ear to ear. He would have been proud. Then I told her what he had said about his funeral. I believe there are anointed people on earth that God has sent to rescue us. I think Zach was one of them. I think my Daddy was too. May God continue to Bless you and your family with precious memories of your amazing son. ❤️🙏
I had the pleasure to meet the Doran’s. They donated a AED machine to our MMA gym. The amount of strength and faith they have is so beautiful and is a testament of how good our God is. I will continue to pray for this beautiful and kind family❤
@@longgone9869 No we did not. Sadly most gyms don’t and it’s not a law in Oklahoma to have one. Hopefully it is never used and my hope is that it will be required in all gyms eventually.
@@StudentIF-ku2he Life is most definitely important. How I wish this young man’s life was saved. Terrible accidents happen all the time and sometimes we are not prepared for the situation. God is in control and we have to put our trust in Him. I know this young man lived his life for Jesus and it brings many people comfort knowing he’s in heaven. That is the ultimate goal is to meet Jesus face to face and to disciple other’s while here on earth so they can also spend eternity in heaven. You are someone I will probably never meet but I’m going to pray for you. It may not mean anything to you now but my hope is that it will one day ❤️
What a beautiful tribute to your son. My son is battling alcoholism, he’s 31, I pray that Jesus will come to him and that he opens his heart, but more than any I pray, let Thy will be done. ❤️🙏
I want you to know that it is God's will for him to be saved. So, Lord we pray for this soul, Your son Jesus died for him too, bring him to Yourself, let him know You and accept the free gift of salvation in Jesus' name. Amen
We pray he is delivered from every demon of alcoholism in Jesus' name. You have done it in the past, we pray you do it in the life of this precious one, Lord, in Jesus' name. Amen
My prayers go out to you and your son. Lord I pray that you would intervene in his life and cleanse him Heart/Body/Mind/Spirit IN JESUS NAME !!! Will continue to pray for JESUS/GOD TO HEAL HIM AND YOUR FAMILY !!!
I will pray for your son with you! My son had alcohol problems and took his life in 2022. May Jesus put the right people in your sons path this week to get him rehab❤
My daughter is clean from alcohol and drugs for 3 years now…. AA has been amazing for her. God is so good and loves us so much. Praying your Son is healed of this disease because It is a disease love & prayers 💜🙏🏻🕊️💜
Am so sorry for your loss, my son Nigel passed away one month ago 7/22/2024 , it has been a very difficult journey for me and my family, to know him (Jesus) makes all the difference, he is the God who strengthens us in these difficult times, so let’s say (Jesus is better)
Bringing 23 people to Christ at his young age is just the wow factor, I am 69 and have only brought a few. His soul is dancing on the street of gold in heaven. Thank you for sharing this wonderful story
I missed that as I thought the 23 were after Zach had passed so how can you say anyone who has died will be credited to souls. Here is perhaps a point of clarification for you. Phil 1:23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: Phil. 1:24 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.
“ONLY” brought a few? That is wonderful and would be amazing to bring even ONE!! Think about what you have done for each of their lives. As well as those who they may bring to the Lord! So you didn’t just bring a “few,” because with your faith and caring for others have also helped bring all that those few people have also brought. As well as who they brought, and they brought. I’m sure if you knew the actual number you’d be amazed. That’s why just ONE person is much more than some may think. God bless ❤
@@kenroman777Being legalistic isn't necessary. The spirit left behind by those who have gone before can also be a witness because he affected people before he left this world. Jesus is still alive and yet He left this world a long time ago. The Bible also speaks of the "cloud of witnesses" who have gone before us. It doesn't matter as much who gets the credit, because ultimately Jesus will get all the glory, especially when we lay out crowns before Him. Our focus should be on witnessing and not concerned with getting credit for anything.
When my daughter died on the 11th June 2014, God kept me. He kept me. I would just say to Him Help me please Im feeling overwhelmed, and He would help me. He is faithful
@@heathercloete7450 he does help us, he is near to the broken hearted. That was my prayer every night. Nights are hard for me because that when I would see my son after work. I hate the time 11:25 pm that’s when he passed.
Amen! Looking back over my 71 years and just trying to count up the many times and ways God's faithfulness made ALL the difference! I didn't really see my life's story this way until recently. He's held onto me and will never let me go. I was always focused on other people's Amazing Stories; Then God started showing me my own. He is Love.
Our pastor and his wife lost their 5 year old son. It was tragic but our pastor has shared bits and pieces of their hearts during the grief and he’s made it clear that the only way their family has made it through is due to Christ. It is truly a testament to who they are as a family and who he is as a pastor.
As I sit here and listen to this story, I have tears rolling down my face! We almost lost our son in 2011. When I got the phone call I remember falling to my knees begging God not to take him unless he was yours. God spared our son and that accident changed his life (and ours). I once read a quote that goes like this, " The death of a Christian is not a tragedy. Death is our passport to glory. Death without Jesus Christ is the tragedy. Jesus is better...
Thank you for sharing Zach’s testimony. Many years ago when I was early in my Christian walk a little girl in our area was critically injured in a car/train accident. We prayed so hard for her healing but she died. I was so angry. Then our pastor talked with our church about God’s perfect healing. Yes we hurt on earth and she would be missed on earth but she was perfectly healed with Jesus. That message washed through me and forty years later is still helping me deal with earthly loss.
I'm watching this from Birmingham UK. What an amazing testimony. My heart goes to you and your dear family. I am here with tears running down my face watching your courage your patience and your grace. What an inspiration you both are. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Brian
What a PRECIOUS son and a PRECIOUS family! I lost my brother when he was 21 (because of a drunk driver). His kidneys and corneas were donated and that has always helped me to know that. It certainly doesn't "make up" for it in ANY way but it has helped me.
Sorry for your loss……”light revealing the darkness”…….is not blame and righteous anger is only of God….I’ll end with this Jesus said to Peter the rock[ “get thou behind me “the satan”] the satan is a function/ lies….evil Jesus also said to the-religious of the day you hypocrites….you are of you father the devil(same principle) and in John gospel John says “ They will know that you (disciples )know. God because of your love for one another”……grace and peace to you and thank you for your example of love and not hate…
The Lord is using you and Zach to magnify His glory and bring others to Him. He is rewarding you for your faithfulness to Him. What a comfort to know Zach passed from this life accompanied by an angel straight into the Lord’s presence! Beauty for these ashes await you and your family reunited in Heaven forever. God bless!✝️🕊️💐
Myocarditis too. So why would he die from having a heart attack and his heart is perfectly fine to donate? Not buying that. But it sounds like he's with Jesus now.
I had no heart issues pre 2020. Now I see a cardiologist, live with Chronic afib and am on a host of medicine. I regret getting two shots that I needed to keep my job to feed my kids
You’re definitely not saying “goodbye” to your beloved Zach. You’re saying, “We’ll see you later, Zach!!” 👍🏻🙏❤️ As you know, someday your reuniting with your much-loved son with be SO SWEET!! ❤️👍🏻😇🙏❤️
May Father God always embrace you---and it's wonderful Zach was a true Christian. You will have a wondrous re-union when this journey is over. Titus 2 verse 13 is a gem I give you both. (From N. Ireland). I applaud your great faith and courage.
I’m so sorry for your loss. So encouraging to see how you allowed God to minister and walk with you through this difficult time. I can honestly say that I don’t know how people do life without our Lord and Savior. Your testimony is a beautiful example of what it truly means to walk with / lean on and draw comfort from…the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ. God Bless you❤
Thank you for sharing. three years ago my brother who is with Soldiers for Christ lost his lovely daughter after graduation. She ended up having a seizure and never woke up. I ended up making him a wine bottle with her picture on it with lights. He continues to being my rock and my guide to reading God's word. He is a true hearted and through him I know that he has lead others to Christ. And that is how precious his daughter was she was a child of God. Thank you both so much for sharing and God Bless you both.
Our Heavenly Father has His beautiful plan on Zachs life...thousands and thousands of souls will be touched and saved...stay strong daddy and mummy, and be proud of Zach!
What strength and faith your journey took. Praise God that Jesus is better. May he continue to give you peace, strength and renew your faith day by day!
I’m so sorry for your loss. I had a heart attack, several procedures, open heart surgery, signed my DNR , ready to Donate my Organs 3 week coma to 6 1/2 months in hospital to Receiving a Heart Transplant on Christmas 2019.
Thank you Lord.😢 I am beyond words. My husband passed away suddenly from a heart attack also. No warning signs. He was a donor also and Jesus has a PLAN and we are in it. And that's Perfect. Your story is incredible and will be so monumental in sowing God's Beautiful Seed. Thank you Father for Your Sowing of Your Love.❤
Thank you my brother and sister in Christ for allowing to hear your beautiful testimony. My condolences for your loss. May your family forever be blessed by God, Jesus Christ our Lord, and the Holy Spirit, may you and your family be forever blessed by thier love. Even though I never met Zachary in this life, I look to meeting his in the next. It so amazing to see how God takes a tragedy and turns it into a miracle. Genesis 50: 20 "As for you, you planned evil against me, but God planned it for good, in order to do this-to keep many people alive-as it is today." God bless you all for sharing this beautiful testimony. May the peace of the Lord our God, Jesus Christ his annointed our Savior, and the Holy Spirit dwell with you always. Amen. Free Indeed Though the clouds try to cover me Though the shadows try to consume me Your light still breaks through to shine in the dawn Your light still shines through Through your word, your truth, your gospel and psalm. Thank you for your light that forever guides me That by your love I would ever be set free And ever free indeed. Philippians 4:7 English Standard Version 7. "And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." God is good all the time and all the time God is good. It
I lost my youngest daughter in 2022 to a massive heart attack. Losing a child is a pain like no other. Without GOD I would never make it. I miss my daughter so much. RIP my sweet April. Bless this family ❤🙏
What a testimony. Thank you for sharing your son’s beautiful story. My brother was called home at 19 in 1993. My parents felt the same way. Jesus Christ is the almighty and we will all be united when we are called home. May God bless you and your beautiful family . 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. My best friend lost her eldest son in an accident when he was 25 years old. Her deep faith in Christ is what helped her and her family to endure. Thank you for sharing this beautiful tribute to your sweet son. God bless you and your family. ❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank You Zachary David Doran for your extraordinary testimony of Faith and Love. The fact that so many came to the Lord Jesus seeing all this, is proof that Life without the Lord has little hopes of making sense of suffering and death. But in Faith there is meaning and Life.
I know your pain and your comfort. My son was killed in an automobile accident; I did not get to hold his hand, but I know where he is and I know I will see him again. God Bless & comfort you.
Phewww 💔🥹 Zachary’s story is *powerful* so powerful. I had the chills & just felt a sense of his & The Lords relationship. I can’t even explain it, so I won’t try. He is working for The Lord more than ever now. It’s so painful when we lose someone & my heart breaks for this family, and bc I know that pain. But we are the only ones hurting, bc they’re more alive now, than even us!! All Glory, Praise & Honor To Our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ! ✞🕊🤍🙏🏼✨ #7💖
I’m so sorry you lost your beautiful boy. We lost our 20 yr old son, Justin in a motorcycle accident in 2010. Our strength was Jesus and our resolve; to glorify God through Justin’s death. 5 of our son’s friends were baptized at his funeral and many lives were changed, including ours. Our son is now with Jesus and we are serving as missionaries in the South Pacific. All Glory to Jesus!
THIS is what truth faith in Christ looks like. I am so sorry tor your loss here on earth but so thankful for your son's servant heart for God who helped to win more souls for him and out of the grip if the evil one. God bless
An inspiration. Thank you for sharing yours and Zach’s story. To be able to remember, “Jesus is better” in all life’s ups and downs, is my heart’s desire as well… May He continue to bless you, give you strength, and peace that “passes all understanding…”
Wow. Praise the Lord. What a shining example and testimony. May the ultimate Comforter grant you continuing peace. I love that: Jesus IS better. God bless you- Maranatha!
What a Powerful testimony as I listened to what you both shared about your son Zach. I cried some tears as memories came back to me of my daughter 19yrs old who got drowned in a boat accident with her dad. I lost both of them in 2012. I thank GOD for their lives each year as I remember their birthdays.. Elizabeth in Papua New Guinea
I felt the spirit of the Lord just listening to this story. He is a beautiful soul and you will be with him again!! Praise God for him! All glory to God for our blessed children! All his promises are yes and Amen. Love your unwavering faith in our Lord. Stay in his presence and continue to fight just as Zack would. May the Lord’s peace shine upon you and your whole family!!💜💜💜💜🙏🙏🙏🙏
I'm so sorry for your loss. Rest in Peace Zach 💔 I lost my cousin who was killed in a car accident who was like a sister to me. She was brain dead, but I unfortunately didn't get to see her before she passed. 💔 #JesusIsBetter #DonateLife
Glory be to God! I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of your precious son but he truly did not die in vain, he has given so much, and through the tears I know you all are inspiring us. Grateful to God and grateful to you.
Sorry for your loss you two, I could feel tingling throughout my entire body as I heard the story, he is now enjoying a great peace & new life! God bless

You are someone I will probably never meet but I’m going to pray for you. It may not mean anything to you now but my hope is that it will one day ❤️
My beautiful daughter ran ahead to Jesus in 2021. The Lord is our strength, He is the only way to go through something like this. God Bless.
Wow. I’m blown away by your faith. It won’t be long til we will all be back together again. Quickly come Lord Jesus. ❤️
Hello praise God

What a beautiful tribute to your son. My son is battling alcoholism, he’s 31, I pray that Jesus will come to him and that he opens his heart, but more than any I pray, let Thy will be done. ❤️🙏
I want you to know that it is God's will for him to be saved. So, Lord we pray for this soul, Your son Jesus died for him too, bring him to Yourself, let him know You and accept the free gift of salvation in Jesus' name. Amen
We pray he is delivered from every demon of alcoholism in Jesus' name. You have done it in the past, we pray you do it in the life of this precious one, Lord, in Jesus' name. Amen
My prayers go out to you and your son. Lord I pray that you would intervene in his life and cleanse him Heart/Body/Mind/Spirit IN JESUS NAME !!!
Will continue to pray for JESUS/GOD TO HEAL HIM AND YOUR FAMILY !!!
I will pray for your son with you! My son had alcohol problems and took his life in 2022. May Jesus put the right people in your sons path this week to get him rehab❤
My daughter is clean from alcohol and drugs for 3 years now…. AA has been amazing for her. God is so good and loves us so much. Praying your Son is healed of this disease because It is a disease love & prayers 💜🙏🏻🕊️💜
Am so sorry for your loss, my son Nigel passed away one month ago 7/22/2024 , it has been a very difficult journey for me and my family, to know him (Jesus) makes all the difference, he is the God who strengthens us in these difficult times, so let’s say (Jesus is better)
So sorry; only a month! Jesus take the wheel! Help. !!!
Im so so sorry! July 22 is my Birthday. 😢😢😢😢
😢😢😢 I am so sorry. I lost my only son 💔 6 years ago to suicide. There's nothing harder. Praying for you now. 🙏

Bringing 23 people to Christ at his young age is just the wow factor, I am 69 and have only brought a few. His soul is dancing on the street of gold in heaven. Thank you for sharing this wonderful story
I missed that as I thought the 23 were after Zach had passed so how can you say anyone who has died will be credited to souls. Here is perhaps a point of clarification for you. Phil 1:23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:
Phil. 1:24 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.

“ONLY” brought a few? That is wonderful and would be amazing to bring even ONE!! Think about what you have done for each of their lives. As well as those who they may bring to the Lord!
So you didn’t just bring a “few,” because with your faith and caring for others have also helped bring all that those few people have also brought. As well as who they brought, and they brought. I’m sure if you knew the actual number you’d be amazed. That’s why just ONE person is much more than some may think.
God bless ❤
Maybe you only know if a few, but if those few bring others and they bring others and so on, then you have done more than you realize.
@@kenroman777Being legalistic isn't necessary. The spirit left behind by those who have gone before can also be a witness because he affected people before he left this world. Jesus is still alive and yet He left this world a long time ago. The Bible also speaks of the "cloud of witnesses" who have gone before us. It doesn't matter as much who gets the credit, because ultimately Jesus will get all the glory, especially when we lay out crowns before Him. Our focus should be on witnessing and not concerned with getting credit for anything.
When my daughter died on the 11th June 2014, God kept me. He kept me. I would just say to Him Help me please Im feeling overwhelmed, and He would help me. He is faithful
I am so sorry God bless you ❤
@@heathercloete7450 he does help us, he is near to the broken hearted. That was my prayer every night. Nights are hard for me because that when I would see my son after work. I hate the time 11:25 pm that’s when he passed.
Amen! Looking back over my 71 years and just trying to count up the many times and ways God's faithfulness made ALL the difference! I didn't really see my life's story this way until recently. He's held onto me and will never let me go. I was always focused on other people's Amazing Stories; Then God started showing me my own. He is Love.
God kept you…what a beautifully complete way to convey His total presence with you…thank you
Lost daughter at 16yrs old. Sundays were the best when so many prayed. Many people wanted to know Our Lord. God bless you!
So sorry for your loss. Zach sounds like an amazing person!
Such a beautiful testimony in the passing of your son. May his storÿ continue to bring more souls to the saving grace of Jesus.
Our pastor and his wife lost their 5 year old son. It was tragic but our pastor has shared bits and pieces of their hearts during the grief and he’s made it clear that the only way their family has made it through is due to Christ. It is truly a testament to who they are as a family and who he is as a pastor.
🙏❤️💪

As I sit here and listen to this story, I have tears rolling down my face! We almost lost our son in 2011. When I got the phone call I remember falling to my knees begging God not to take him unless he was yours. God spared our son and that accident changed his life (and ours). I once read a quote that goes like this, " The death of a Christian is not a tragedy. Death is our passport to glory. Death without Jesus Christ is the tragedy. Jesus is better...
That is my continual prayer for my children, that they not die in their sins, in a Christless grave!
Jesus Encounter Ministries UA-cam channel++
Amen!
I am a believer but thank you sooo much for the last part of this comment….your quote is everything.
❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing the beautiful and inspiring quote. ❤
May the GOD OF ALL COMFORT BE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY😢
Beautiful story and so sorry for the loss of your son 😢😢😢
Your son is such a beautiful and wonderful soul. Praise Jesus
What a beautiful son, I'm so sorry
Thank you for sharing Zach’s testimony. Many years ago when I was early in my Christian walk a little girl in our area was critically injured in a car/train accident. We prayed so hard for her healing but she died. I was so angry. Then our pastor talked with our church about God’s perfect healing. Yes we hurt on earth and she would be missed on earth but she was perfectly healed with Jesus. That message washed through me and forty years later is still helping me deal with earthly loss.

I'm watching this from Birmingham UK. What an amazing testimony. My heart goes to you and your dear family. I am here with tears running down my face watching your courage your patience and your grace. What an inspiration you both are. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Brian
What a PRECIOUS son and a PRECIOUS family! I lost my brother when he was 21 (because of a drunk driver). His kidneys and corneas were donated and that has always helped me to know that. It certainly doesn't "make up" for it in ANY way but it has helped me.
Beautiful testimony. Beautiful son. Beautiful family. Rest with Christ Zach❤
RIP I broke down and cried watching this video.
So sad but I am happy to know he is with our Lord right now. God bless you.
Sorry for your loss……”light revealing the darkness”…….is not blame and righteous anger is only of God….I’ll end with this Jesus said to Peter the rock[ “get thou behind me “the satan”] the satan is a function/ lies….evil Jesus also said to the-religious of the day you hypocrites….you are of you father the devil(same principle) and in John gospel John says “ They will know that you (disciples )know. God because of your love for one another”……grace and peace to you and thank you for your example of love and not hate…
@@Gibby1257-oy7oiI'm not sure what you wrote had to do with the comment that was made.
Same here.
Praise God for your faith in Jesus and His Sovereignty over ALL truly an amazing story
The Lord is using you and Zach to magnify His glory and bring others to Him. He is rewarding you for your faithfulness to Him. What a comfort to know Zach passed from this life accompanied by an angel straight into the Lord’s presence! Beauty for these ashes await you and your family reunited in Heaven forever. God bless!✝️🕊️💐
beautifully said ❤
So very sorry for all who have lost children...God bless all of you in a special way.
A lot of young kids dying suddenly. Kids didn’t die suddenly before 2020 like they do now. This makes my heart sad.
I was thinking the same thing. Many of those untimely deaths are organ donors, too.
Myocarditis too. So why would he die from having a heart attack and his heart is perfectly fine to donate? Not buying that. But it sounds like he's with Jesus now.
It is heartbreaking that so many lives are being lost right now and no accountability but justice will prevail in Jesus.
I had no heart issues pre 2020. Now I see a cardiologist, live with Chronic afib and am on a host of medicine. I regret getting two shots that I needed to keep my job to feed my kids
@@jestofreestone1 I’m so sorry! 😢❤️
This is a beautiful tribute ….. all eyes on Jesus 🙏🏾❤️
You’re definitely not saying “goodbye” to your beloved Zach. You’re saying, “We’ll see you later, Zach!!” 👍🏻🙏❤️ As you know, someday your reuniting with your much-loved son with be SO SWEET!! ❤️👍🏻😇🙏❤️
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Amen. ☁️🎺👼🙏✨👑🦁
@@SharonWard-dx1sv thanks my dear friend
May Father God always embrace you---and it's wonderful Zach was a true Christian. You will have a wondrous re-union when this journey is over. Titus 2 verse 13 is a gem I give you both. (From N. Ireland). I applaud your great faith and courage.
What a beautiful family, what a precious son. What incredible faith, grace and poise. Only Jesus🩸❤️May God bless you in every way you need it most.
Beautiful Soul! Powerful Message! Thank you for sharing. 🙏
I’m so sorry for your loss. So encouraging to see how you allowed God to minister and walk with you through this difficult time. I can honestly say that I don’t know how people do life without our Lord and Savior. Your testimony is a beautiful example of what it truly means to walk with / lean on and draw comfort from…the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ. God Bless you❤
Amen

Thank you for sharing. three years ago my brother who is with Soldiers for Christ lost his lovely daughter after graduation. She ended up having a seizure and never woke up. I ended up making him a wine bottle with her picture on it with lights. He continues to being my rock and my guide to reading God's word. He is a true hearted and through him I know that he has lead others to Christ. And that is how precious his daughter was she was a child of God. Thank you both so much for sharing and God Bless you both.
Our Heavenly Father has His beautiful plan on Zachs life...thousands and thousands of souls will be touched and saved...stay strong daddy and mummy, and be proud of Zach!
What strength and faith your journey took. Praise God that Jesus is better. May he continue to give you peace, strength and renew your faith day by day!
Out of death, comes life! The Lord showed me that a long time ago. Praise you Jesus!!!
I’m so sorry for your loss.
I had a heart attack, several procedures, open heart surgery, signed my DNR , ready to Donate my Organs 3 week coma to 6 1/2 months in hospital to Receiving a Heart Transplant on Christmas 2019.
How can we make sure our organs aren’t being sold as a profit but to help someone in need?
@@skiesthelimit1336You have to trust God
Beautiful story. Beautiful son. Prayers for all from central Kentucky.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
hahahaha
Thank you Lord.😢 I am beyond words. My husband passed away suddenly from a heart attack also. No warning signs. He was a donor also and Jesus has a PLAN and we are in it. And that's Perfect. Your story is incredible and will be so monumental in sowing God's Beautiful Seed. Thank you Father for Your Sowing of Your Love.❤
Vaxxed? It’s happening like never before
Thank you my brother and sister in Christ for allowing to hear your beautiful testimony.
My condolences for your loss.
May your family forever be blessed by God, Jesus Christ our Lord, and the Holy Spirit, may you and your family be forever blessed by thier love. Even though I never met Zachary in this life, I look to meeting his in the next. It so amazing to see how God takes a tragedy and turns it into a miracle.
Genesis 50: 20
"As for you, you planned evil against me, but God planned it for good, in order to do this-to keep many people alive-as it is today."
God bless you all for sharing this beautiful testimony. May the peace of the Lord our God, Jesus Christ his annointed our Savior, and the Holy Spirit dwell with you always. Amen.
Free Indeed
Though the clouds try to cover me
Though the shadows try to consume me
Your light still breaks through to shine in the dawn
Your light still shines through
Through your word, your truth, your gospel and psalm.
Thank you for your light that forever guides me
That by your love I would ever be set free
And ever free indeed.

My deepest condolences for the loss of your Son Zach. God Bless you and all who have lost a child🫶🏼
I'm so sorry for your loss. Such a remarkable young man.
God bless you. I lost my son 2 years ago and could not have gotten through it without the Lord.
Thank you for honoring your son by sharing your story! Jesus is Better 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I lost my youngest daughter in 2022 to a massive heart attack. Losing a child is a pain like no other. Without GOD I would never make it. I miss my daughter so much. RIP my sweet April. Bless this family ❤🙏
What a beautiful young man ❤❤
Sorry for your loss. Why are we loosing so many young people in our Country today. ?
@@sallysailor5642why?
What a testimony. Thank you for sharing your son’s beautiful story. My brother was called home at 19 in 1993. My parents felt the same way. Jesus Christ is the almighty and we will all be united when we are called home. May God bless you and your beautiful family . 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. My best friend lost her eldest son in an accident when he was 25 years old. Her deep faith in Christ is what helped her and her family to endure. Thank you for sharing this beautiful tribute to your sweet son. God bless you and your family. ❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
May God give you both an abundance of Peace during you & your beloved son’s temporary separation. 🙏✝️ Your incredible faith & courage encourages me.
A beautiful testimony 🙏🏻✝️🥰 Thank you Jesus!! We don’t grieve like others with no hope. God bless you Mom and Dad. 😔
What a beautiful young man in every way!!!❤🕊🕊🕊
Beautiful testimony. May God continue to wrap His Loving Arms around Zach and you and your family.
What a blessed testimony. May the Lord Jesus comfort you all
Thank You Zachary David Doran for your extraordinary testimony of
Faith and Love. The fact that so many came to the Lord Jesus seeing all this, is proof that Life without the Lord has little hopes of making sense of suffering and death. But in Faith there is meaning and Life.
Beautiful son, beautiful testimony. Thank you for sharing. Jesus is better. I need to remember that.
It sounds like Zach was a wonderful warrior for Christ! I’m so sorry! But we all know that God is in control even in our darkest hours!
Praise God for the beautiful gift of your son, Zach. Thank you for sharing him with us. ✝
I know your pain and your comfort. My son was killed in an automobile accident; I did not get to hold his hand, but I know where he is and I know I will see him again. God Bless & comfort you.
❤God bless you your family and your church family - what an amazing story - Praising God and declaring JESUS IS BETTER ❤️
Phewww 💔🥹
Zachary’s story is *powerful* so powerful. I had the chills & just felt a sense of his & The Lords relationship.
I can’t even explain it, so I won’t try.
He is working for The Lord more than ever now. It’s so painful when we lose someone & my heart breaks for this family, and bc I know that pain. But we are the only ones hurting, bc they’re more alive now, than even us!!
All Glory, Praise & Honor To Our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ! ✞🕊🤍🙏🏼✨

So sorry for your loss. What a precious son and family. Psalm 116: 15 .
Thank you for sharing your story of your son may God show grace on your family ❤❤❤❤❤✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️
To know that you will see him again is one of the biggest gifts to hold onto in the name of Jesus. Thank you for sharing your story. Jesus IS better!
Great testimony, so humbling. May the peace of God reign in your hearts as a family. Sorry for the loss. 🙏
I’m so sorry you lost your beautiful boy. We lost our 20 yr old son, Justin in a motorcycle accident in 2010. Our strength was Jesus and our resolve; to glorify God through Justin’s death. 5 of our son’s friends were baptized at his funeral and many lives were changed, including ours. Our son is now with Jesus and we are serving as missionaries in the South Pacific. All Glory to Jesus!
Amen!!
What a beautiful story and testament.
We can't imagine the love that your son is surrounded by at this moment ❤
"I can only imagine!"
What a beautiful family. God bless you all. Thank you for sharing this beautiful story.
You two are amazing! God bless you
What a Beautifully touching story. So sorry for your loss. But then, you can’t lose someone when you know where they are! ✝️❤️🇺🇸👍🏻
Amen.
THIS is what truth faith in Christ looks like.
I am so sorry tor your loss here on earth but so thankful for your son's servant heart for God who helped to win more souls for him and out of the grip if the evil one.
God bless
An inspiration. Thank you for sharing yours and Zach’s story. To be able to remember, “Jesus is better” in all life’s ups and downs, is my heart’s desire as well…
May He continue to bless you, give you strength, and peace that “passes all understanding…”
What a beautiful testimony of God and his love.....thank you.....
Wow. Praise the Lord. What a shining example and testimony. May the ultimate Comforter grant you continuing peace. I love that: Jesus IS better. God bless you- Maranatha!
This is so inspirational.
From a Mother that also lost and God carried me through.🙏
Thank you so much for sharing your Zach's beautiful story and your unwavering faith in Jesus......God bless your family and your sweet Zach!
Amazing parents. You really showed faith❤
What a Powerful testimony as I listened to what you both shared about your son Zach. I cried some tears as memories came back to me of my daughter 19yrs old who got drowned in a boat accident with her dad. I lost both of them in 2012. I thank GOD for their lives each year as I remember their birthdays.. Elizabeth in Papua New Guinea
I felt the spirit of the Lord just listening to this story. He is a beautiful soul and you will be with him again!! Praise God for him! All glory to God for our blessed children! All his promises are yes and Amen. Love your unwavering faith in our Lord. Stay in his presence and continue to fight just as Zack would. May the Lord’s peace shine upon you and your whole family!!💜💜💜💜🙏🙏🙏🙏
Beautiful and story and testimony. Jesus used your family to touch the world. Amen God Bless you all.
I understand your feelings and thoughts as I lost my daughter in 2001 , 24 years old & with JESUS I accepted her home going....
I'm so sorry for your loss. Rest in Peace Zach 💔
I lost my cousin who was killed in a car accident who was like a sister to me. She was brain dead, but I unfortunately didn't get to see her before she passed. 💔
