Zach Didier was a very talented musician. He loved music - listening to it, playing it, composing it, and even joining with his beloved dog for a jam session. The music halls are now empty since Zach tragically lost his life shortly after Christmas last year due to a Fentanyl poisoning from a counterfeit prescription pill that he obtained via Snap Chat. Please help Granite Wellness Centers prevent the loss of young lives by visiting www.bigdayofgiving.org/GWCFoundation and ma...king a donation today through Thursday, May 6, 2021, for the Big Day of Giving (BDOG).
