this is so sad. i have osteosarcoma, the same cancer he had. its make me so sad to see that i was the survivor and he didn't make it. :(

[@annsheely]

For some reason the one thing that sticks most in my mind from knowing Zach is the silence and feelings that happened when they read his name at graduation. We all paused, gave honor to his life and I could almost feel him walking across that stage with a huge smile on his face… weird watching this over 12 years later since it popped up on my feed

[@Melizabeth22]

Wait you knew zach? I recently found out about his story after watching this series and the movie clouds. The girl in the movie who plays sammy my family and I know her personally. I fell in love with his story though so much so that i did a presentation on him and his life and on his moms book in my college critical reading class.

I’m so thrilled that people are coming here after seeing “Clouds” and learning more about him! Was so devastated when he passed away. I encourage everyone to learn more about childhood cancer and osteosarcoma, it is not as rare as people think. 1 in every 285 kids will be diagnosed with cancer before their 20th birthday, and only 4% of all money in the national cancer institute goes to childhood cancers. Osteosarcoma hasn’t had a new drug treatment in over 30 years. We need to do better!

How does a 17yr old have such depth of character? It's absolutely amazing to see. RIP Zach. You made the most of the life you were given and touched in a profound way, the people that were put in your life.

[@IshaanyaRajsingh]

Every couple of months, whenever I feel down and just dejected for not having achieved much in life, I come here and I cry. Watching Zach's story instantly gives me hope. He's a ray of positivity and he shows you that you can make the most out of your life even if your days are limited. It makes me so happy to see the impact he made on everyone's life. I hope he's happy wherever he is. Thank you Zach for inspiring me ❤💕

[@thatgamergirl1995]

In grade 2 I was diagnosed with cancer in February. In grade 4 I was free of cancer. It is the worst thing in world. I was diagnosed with leukemia. Most children do not survive.

[@Ben-jp8kb]

How could you dislike this video? I'm a 15 year old guy and I sobbed throughout the whole thing. No one wants to think about death because it's so scary, but he lived it every day and was happier than I ever am. Him and his family are incredibly strong. I read the fault in our stars and this little film reminded me of it. But this is real life and the only reason the book was so good was because it was an unrealistic outcome for a situation like that. But he was the real thing. My worst fear is being told how much longer I have to live. Because I am 100% positive that my assumed life expectancy would tear me to shreds and would live out the rest of my time absolutely miserable. I need a hug after seeing this, it's so inspiring but so unfair. R.I.P

[@Chulas71]

What a good soul I wish there were more of him on this earth. Soo sad he had to travel on so soon.

[@nallynightwatcher3954]

+Der Zurechtweiser your profile pic goes perfectly with your comment 😆 XD

[@MarcelinoSoliz]

+Der Zurechtweiser but that's not how anyone is taking it.

[@mr.bantman8189]

+Benjamin I have my own views. I liked the thing, it was a touching story. But there is one small problem. People die like this every day. Hundreds, maybe thousands. And even if they went through as much grief as Zach's family, it seems almost insulting to glorify one person's death while not caring about another. If we all are to die, why do so few get chosen to have their lives told in this way? What makes one's death more important than someone else's? You can argue it was his musical talent. But if he had not had that cancer, if he lived his life out like a normal human being, and died at peace in his 90s, would "clouds" have been the monstrous hit it was? Maybe. But the song's success was built on guilt. If you didn't like the song, you didn't approve of a dying teenager's final thoughts on life. People would say you were a soulless monster. Its not that his death is tragic, its that many people go through this suffering without 14 million KZbin views. If you had a relative die from cancer, does it seem far that their life went without the media's notice and Zach did? I say yes, it is reasonable to cry at this. It is normal to feel sad. But do not glorify his death, as hundreds suffer the same way as we speak.

[@Ben-jp8kb]

Sam Katz I understand where you're coming from and agree that his death shouldn't be anymore glorified than anyone elses. But I don't think I glorified him passing more than I would anyone else's death. If there was a video for every single person that died, I'm sure I'd feel moved for all of them, and I don't know where you got the idea that I don't care about the other people that died because of course I do, I know it might appear that way because I didn't mention anyone else, but this video wasn't about them and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. And why is it so bad to have millions of people standing by him and sending loads of support to his family to help them get through this process. I know that this is only one person and we should acknowledge that this happens all the time and we don't support them because we can't support everyone but if there's an opportunity to share this type of thing to people I think that's great. And my grandmother passed away from cancer about three years ago and I didn't care that she didn't get tons media attention because she knew that we cared and we knew that we cared and we didn't need millions of people supporting us to show that.

[@Sassy_Alaskan]

Damn, the way they cast the movie was outstanding. Every character looks exactly like they do in real life. Whoa how awesome.

[@kaldesjarlais375]

hopefully he knew christ as his saviour, then he would have eternal life in heaven, jesus says i am the truth , the way and the life- -------jesus went to the cross to die for our sins, receive his gift of eternal life and call on him. he is faithful and just to forgive our sins and cleanse us. imagine that, an afterlife in gods presence worshipping the one who loved us so much that he gave his son to die on the cross to forgive our sins. im all over that----then there are no need for tears cuz you know where your going!! we are not immortal, we are finite beings and will pass away physically. our souls can be in heaven for eternity...we are saved by faith in God not by works or how nice we were or what we did during our tenure on this ball of mud. Show less

[@gracewhite3228]

To Mrs. Sobiech, you spoke at my church yesterday about not only Zach's story, but the grace of god and how in situations that are hard to handle, keep going and have gratitude for every opportunity you have gotten from god. I love this story and Zach has taught me so much about how life is amazing because life is what you make it. I thank you, and I thank Zach. You are forever in my heart and god bless you.

HOW THE F*** CAN YOU DISLIKE THIS VIDEO? SERIOUSLY, SOME PEOPLE HAVE NO HEART.

[@mianfei8185]

I disliked it just because of your comment.

[@maximusking5431]

Can you see now Mark? Your comment is in fact, encouraging others to dislike this inspirational video based on the last days of Zach as he battles against one of the biggest illnesses in the world, cancer. Have you any respect for Zach? Don't you understand that your comment has so many negative connotations to it? The implications of these connotations also have such a negative impact on its viewers. You are the one creating negativity in the comments of a video where you should be humble and respectful. Think twice before asking such a redundant question.

[@abenabrenda5032]

I’m here after the movie and I’m just like why didn’t I know him before ?! I cried so much. He was a very good person. So much love to his family and friends

Some people don't understand the difficulties in the tragedy that people have to suffer and endure whoever dislike this video is probably not sick with a sickness like osteosarcoma but they should not be selfish towards such an unselfish person like Zackbut get to know him through this documentary and the movie even if they've never met him before instead of being horrible insensitive people

These videos make me appreciate everything I have to live for. I'm sitting here bawling my eyes out just thinking about my fiance and other loved ones and how this could happen to them or myself and I cannot imagine the pain. These ones who are dying in these videos are so high spirited and I'm learning so much from them.

[@karieneutel5969]

I wish with all my heart that I could have met Zach. He has inspired me in so many ways! I never realized how empty my life really is: how I'm wasting my life by just wishing each day away. Each day is something amazing and beautiful. We are given an opportunity to make other people happy! I am just amazed at how much wisdom Zach had, and I can only wish to be half as wise as he was! I just want the Sobiech family to know that Zach's legacy lives on! He will continue to influence lives for many many many years. He is a hero. He is my hero.

I come back and watch this every now and then, I so easily lose sight of what's important in life and Zach reminds me. Even though I never met him and even though he's gone now he is still having a positive impact on me, and I'm sure a lot of other people too, what a fucking special person.

What a beautiful family. God is in there hearts always and now Zach is there too. RIP mate from LEBANON the land of the Saints ✝️❤️

[@ashleyc2665]

If I had a chance to meet Zach, I would have take it. He was one of the strongest kids I have ever heard about because, even though he was going through all of that, he still managed to keep a smile on his face and live his last days to the fullest. I've never met Zach and I found out that he died while I was in school. I really didn't know who he was then, but after watching this, it tore me apart. I'm crying while typing this, not only because of his story but because if I put myself in his position, I would be completely devastated. I'm only fourteen, and even though our ages differ, any child would never want to leave the people they love. Zach didn't deserve to die. He was so happy. That's what pains me the most. He had amazing friends and a loving family, but he lost that due to Cancer. I might seem a little naive for saying this, but it's just not fair. Life works in mysterious ways. Unexpected things happen all the time, so take advantage of the moments you have right now, because you'll never be able to get them back. Rest in piece Zach :'(

[@CBaller2020]

If there is in fact a heaven, I hope Zach is looking down and smiling his big beautiful smile, knowing how many people he's affected.....crying now......

[@RodneyThomas]

If you've 22 minutes and 21 seconds to spare, please check out this video. I'm watching this with tears in my eyes, knowing that I come from a family with a history of cancer, not knowing when or if I'll also be diagnosed with the disease, or worse, if that diagnosis will instead be reserved for my children. I've allowed such minor things in life to inconvenience myself and inhibit my own potential for doing greater things. The beginning of this video says that you don't have to "find out you're dying to start living". Let's make beautiful memories with those people whom we love. Let's reinvent ourselves together. Let's go for a run. Let's go to a movie. Let's drink a hot cup of cocoa on a cold winter day. Let's enjoy the laughter of others. Let's console each other after a failure. Let's encourage each other to accept new challenges. So today and for the rest of our lives - let's LIVE.

Can we talk about how Justin Baldoni, the director of this documentary and the film, honoured him

[@Maddie-ol3ll]

SO WELL! The movie was perfect. The way they quoted him, depicted his goofy personality, casted actors so perfectly, and cared about little details. Honestly amazing, just beautiful to see.

[@lorelikesthings]

@@Maddie-ol3ll ikr!? They did so good with the video

[@ambers-tome8326]

The z in the cloud really got me crying as well seeing the original photo🥺

[@squigley4809]

Justin is an amazing director! He finds inspiration within all his movies he’s directed so far. Like five feet apart he face guns to CF and to Claire may she RIP. But he finds purpose for his films

[@emma9164]

I didn't know he was also a director until now, he's a really good actor and made me quite emotional

[@hannahmagill8073]

[@katie4335]

When this song came out I had chills down my spine. Your son made me look at my life and realize that you can use your words for good, After he died I remembered to use my words for good. Love you so much Zach.

[@katie4335]

I went to school with him. He had such a positive outlook on life and positive attitude. I miss you Zach. You were such an inspiration to people at Stillwater High School. It was heartbreaking:( It's even more heartbreaking to know you are gone. You don't have to know you are dying to start living. Miss you so much bud

Justin is absolutely incredible he also made five feet apart based off his experience of meeting Claire Wineland and did amazing on that film as well! I cant wait to see what he does next I'm glad he made this movie about zach bc without it I'd never know this story or his song. His life message is so inspiring and his song absolutely beautiful

True and he is so kind and thoughtful. I would love to find a guy like him. If he did not have this , I’ll bet he would have married his girlfriend and had kids. Zach would have made the best dad.

[@brandonnlee00]

I knew about this story 5 years ago. I’m also from Minnesota where Zach is from. I’ve watched this video quite a few times & i always ball my eyes out. If you haven’t read the book “Fly a little higher” By Laura Sobiech, I definitely recommend it. It’s Zach’s story based on her journey with him. Excellent read.

[@soumyasampad639]

This made me cry.😭😭😭

[@myapeoples8187]

I wonder what Zach would think if he knew that he would touch this many people. Such a quality guy and I’m happy I came across his story

[@IndigoRoses7]

can I be honest? Of all the cold hearted, selfish, uncaring people I've come across in life..I get a little angry when I see these stories. These good people, who live to Love...who already appreciated their lives before they were sick, who face Death and still say 'Thank You' ...they get struck with things like this. makes me so sad they can't grow old. Rest in peace Zach
