Courtesy photo | At the age of 20, Zach Brokaw was working as nature director for Camp Lowden in Oregon, Ill. In June 2015, he and a coworker were running an errand when, exhausted from work, they fell asleep. Their car veered into the path of another vehicle, killing Zach and inflicting serious injuries on his passenger and the driver of the other car. His mother has created the Share the Love fundraiser to finance random acts of kindness in Zach’s memory.
Acts of kindness will honor Zach Brokaw on Valentine’s Day weekend
