He was a curly headed, shy, very lovable, sweet and adorable child.

Zackary Chavez, 3, had attended America’s Kids day-care center since infancy. His great-grandfather remembered giving him quarters. “When you would give him a quarter, he would always take it to his mom,” Cereaco Hernandez said. Zackary had been cared for by workers at the day-care center inside the Murrah building his entire life. “He was a cute little guy,” said Hernandez of Zackary. “You would try to give him a dollar, and he would say ‘No, no – give me a quarter.’”
