Steven and Echo Groves Zane's 18th Birthday in Malta June 22, 2015

Ryan Sheriff Upper Campus UCSC, October 2015 It's been about a month since I heard that it may be a long time before I get to see my good friend again. I still haven't gone a single day without thinking about you, all of the magical adventures we had, and all of the things we never got to do. It's hard knowing what to say or do, but I always come back to thinking how amazing the impact you left on the hearts of literally hundreds is, and that you continue to inspire me to be the best human I can be even now. I love you Zane, you best be holding a chill spot for us to kick it in whatever existence is waiting for us after this life, and we'll be sure to hold down your memory, truth, and legacy while we're down here.

Sunshine James I met Zane in Yokosuka when we were in primary together. I remember how much I rough-housed with him because I didn’t know how else to show him how much I liked him. Reuniting in California in 2018 was like a childhood dream come true. We reminisced about Japan and how we both had had huge kid crushes on each other and how much we had changed since we had last seen each other a decade ago. The last time we hung out, right before I left for Fall 2019 semester, I promised him I would invite him to my future wedding (because we were both 100% sure that I was FOR SURE going to get married before he did haha). Zane has a way of making you feel so comfortable with being yourself. He’s so loving and so accepting and gift for making you laugh over nothing. I know he’s probably making our loved ones, who’ve passed on, laugh right now.

chris gonzalez I remember one of the stops on the tour last year was in Santa Cruz and I instantly thought to invite Zane. On the night of the show he texted me saying he arrived and was waiting for me backstage. Eager to reunite with Zane (after I think it had been about 6 years since I seen him last) I run outback and see a familiar face stuck, waiting behind the gate. The Security didn't want to allow him in without credentials, and my word of mouth had no authority since I was just the "video guy". Not even being able to have had an introduction yet, Zane and I are trying to put on an act like we are meant to have been at the show and that the security was the one in the wrong. Meanwhile he's trying to make his nervous expression and bouncing eyes look as convincing as possible like as everything is fine, I'm In the middle of trying to convince the security that he "HAS to let us in". Without even realizing this whole encounter was being oversaw by the headliner of the tour. (which could be bad because im essentially robbing him of a guest off his own approved list) He interrupts waving his hand and he says "nahh let him in he's cool, he's with us". Zane and I both look at each other in disbelief automatically exposing we are definitely NOT supposed to be there ahaha. the security guard rolls his eyes and opens the gate. I said screw the show! Instead of taking photos and videos of the show Zane and I spent majority of the show reconnecting and catching up. Im just glad my friend was willing to snap this picture of us after the show or else I don't think I would have stopped to think we should take a photo. I just think its crazy because I had just texted him yesterday! I was wondering why he didn't respond and I figured he was busy. But I seen Edens post this afternoon and my heart dropped. Its hard not to get choked up only because I think what I remember most about Zane isn't just these memories but mostly his energy. Like if you're having a conversation with him about something funny he has this laughing expression with a sort of silent laugh until he actually lets one out. I feel like also if you are explaining something to him he would zone in on what your saying and tilts his head and I think that's when I would know he was listening. He was always reminding me about seeing the bigger picture in things and to not always be so narrow minded. I think about that now and believe he was actually always implying that mindset, even back when we were smaller making YouTube videos trying to be funny he had ideas that would take the channel at the time to new lengths. I know im not the only one who is gunna miss him and that makes me happy to know he was able to connect with so many people. I even saw it when I was able to introduce him to my friends on the tour who were able to almost instantly like him. Like I said he's got that energy that I know will still live on. love ya zane!
