Hello all.
This posting is a post of prayer and rememberance of
Zach Taylor of Mesa AZ.
Zach was a friend of mine from the day I left Jail and
began my journey of recovery. When I left Jail and entered
his living environment known as "The House Inc." little did
I know that a life long impression would be made on me when
I got there 7 1/2 years ago. Zach passed away last night
after finding out that he had cancer 1 1/2 years ago and
losing his son one year ago due to a drownding while fishing.
Zach has been a great help to many of men in recovery, as he
showed newcommers how to get their life started over again.
He specialized in helping clients set and reach their goals,
discipline, reasurance, and a cast of many other qualities.
But most of all, He gave people confidence that they could
achieve if they could learn to believe in themselves.
Many people have tried to copy the type of program that Zach
and "The House Inc." offers all of the men who come through
the doors. But the reputation that has been built will
not in my eyes ever be matched.
The house was started in 1988 and I arived Holloween Night
1989. The house was having a party for all of its members
and guests that night. There were only 55 house members
(and two houses) at that time. Now there are well over
180 members (when full). The reputation of "The House Inc."
and Zach Taylor extand across the States in many Hospitals
and treatment centers.
Zach died clean last night with some 13-15 years of recovery
and working knowledge of the program as well as certificates
in the related field of work.
So when you read this I ask of you to give a special prayer
to a Special man who has helped many along the way in their
Journey into recovery.
Thank you
Marty W.
