      IM sorry for your loss, that wasn't a fun death. I just really hope that if there is a god or higher being, that they give mercy on buddy because I imagine drowning like that, unable to break free, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemies.

    Having owned beachfront property in Alaska with relatively shallow mud flats, we learned to carefully watch our children when at play because our son became stuck one fine day and it was a chore to pull him out of his Extratuf boots. Multiply the suction at Turnagain Arm by 100 and it is near impossible to retrieve a person. Condolences to the family.

      I was thinking something similar. Like a water hose until they came back with more help

      I live in Alaska…trust me when I say that water is so cold that even with a respirator he would have died of hypothermia

    They put up a beautiful perpetual memorial for Zachary at Beluga Point in Anchorage. Donated by private citizens. Also initiated new Haz Warning / Rescue System. I’ll send you pictures . Send E mail.

      They should take it down. We (his family) should never have to come across it in here or anywhere..

    Alaska lakes have leaches. Everyone who visit alaska really needs to do some research before going or hire a guide

    People are always waiting for the worst to start foundations. Why doesn't anyone ever start a foundation or non profit just because?
