Zack, (pictured above) was last seen in Coos County, Oregon (KVAL).

Zachary Bashir Porter, or Zack for short, had an abundance of people who cared about him. If you met the 25-year-old, you would realize exactly why. In addition to being the caretaker for both his grandmother and mother, he also cared for his son. His family was his number one priority; he had no difficulty proving it.

A mere glimpse of Zack’s photos presents a sizable window into the young man’s personality. Together, they paint a picture of a popular, humorous, and amicable person. The young man’s contagious grin is hard to ignore and photos of him by himself are difficult to find. In several, he has his arm around the shoulder of a family member or friend.

According to Myron Porter, Zack’s father, the young man had a fiery side as well. At times, Zack made no effort to hide his feisty and cocky attitudes but that was the beauty of Zack. He was a man of many dimensions.

Zack’s level of responsibility and maturity surpassed his age; he flourished as an adult. He had a dream of moving to southern Los Angeles to open a body shop once he saved enough money.

However, everything screeched to a halt most heartbreaking and agonizing way possible…
