​Inspirational Quotes about Zack Parrish:
... from his HS & college best friend, Nathan Rees ...

"Growing up, he (Zack) really did love and care about his sisters. He so much wanted to be a protector, and I think that's why he eventually left the thought of doing business. ... He wanted to protect people."

...from his wife...
"... had Zack known someone on his team was going to die that night, Zack would have said, 'I'm still going in there, I will put my life on the line.'”

These quotes and actions described by Parrish's teammates reinforce his inspirational leadership and commitment to serve others.
Parrish’s Sergeant remembered Zack’s last words in the conversation where deputies planned how to approach the call. Never fearful and ready to tackle any challenge, Parrish positively and confidently stated, “OK, let’s go” as he led his teammates.

And Michael Doyle, one of the deputies wounded on the call, remembered Parrish’s courage to place himself in a dangerous situation. He watched Parrish take the lead walking first through the door, and Doyle said he followed. 
“I would do it again without hesitation because that’s the kind of influence he had on everyone around him.”

Reflections about this
​iHonor American Flag's Honoree - Deputy Parrish
... reflections will be posted here (from newest to oldest submitted) ...


Zack - I now understand the scope and breadth of police camaraderie and what attracted you to being a peace officer ... After seeing the sea of police cars and officers from across the country who attended your funeral, I more greatly appreciate you and your brothers in blue.  I was always impressed with the military funerals I attended, but they now pale in comparison to your honorable ceremony.  For more than a year, I have held on to this hand-inscribed, story-telling American Flag I made for you - waiting for the right opportunity to present it in a way that the community can properly learn your story.  The original plan was to give this Flag to a group of students at Mtn Vista HS and have them build-out a stirring tribute and place it in the school somewhere.  But, that process has taken longer than expected, so ... now you fly where you took your last heroic actions - a place everyone should know and remember.
- from Sean on 5/9/19
