Zachary Wood Lyon Come Here - That is My Full Name

The Back Story

The Story of his name

When Zachary was a little boy, he one time answered when asked his full name, "Zachary Wood Lyon - Come Here". We suppose since he would get distracted or defiant to his mother's callings that kind of stuck in his little mind. It was so cute and reflected his youthful innocence and openness to talk to any stranger in the most honest and innocent way.

Always a friend - never knew a stranger

Zachary's gregariousness was evident as a child. As he grew, his grandfather Ted "GRAMPS" was most gregarious, loving and helpful soul. This relationship grew deep and strong and I am convinced, more than his own father could influence, made young Zachary into the beautiful, loving accepting and servant leader that he was.

A legacy to follow

Zachary loved the AirForce ROTC in High School. He found brotherhood there and loved the structure of the force. Upon high school graduation, he decided that the AirForce was a challenge that he could not pass up. He had worked hard to get to this place in his young life and took the plunge! Over his 6 years of hard work, learning, growth, trials, and struggles, he grew into an amazing young man. Zachary was like honey to the bees. His leadership was made easy by leaning on the tenants of his Grandfathers' loving ways as his followers found his unique leadership a breath of fresh air.
