Bryson Stevens Awarded Scholarship In Memory Of Four Star Employee

The recipient of the first Zachary Sizemore Memorial Scholarship has been named. Bryson Stevens, a senior at Providence Christian School in Dothan, Ala. received the $1,000 scholarship in honor of Four Star Freightliner employee Zack Sizemore.

Zack, 32, worked in the accounting department at Four Star Freightliner in Dothan. Sadly, he lost his battle against cancer late last year. Four Star Freightliner's Dealer Principal Jerry Kocan said Zack was such an inspiration because of the way he never gave up in his fight. This scholarship is the company's way of honoring his memory and paying it forward to the next generation.
Bryson works part-time and is involved in several school and community activities, all while maintaining an A-average.

“This scholarship will benefit me tremendously not only by helping to pay for some of my books and fees, but also helping to show others that if you apply yourself in high school, it may not pay off at that exact moment but it will eventually come back around to you later in life," Bryson said. "I am beyond thankful and will put your scholarship to good use and show you how responsible of an individual I am."

Lorri and Stevie Sizemore, Zack's parents, called Bryson an "awesome" recipient for the scholarship given in their son's memory.

"We are so blessed by this young man," Lorri said. "Hearing how smart and well-rounded he is reminds us of our son, Zachary. The one thing that stands out to us is that he's so busy with his life, enjoying every second, filling it with things that matter, not taking life for granted because life is a gift from God. Zachary would certainly approve of this fine young man receiving this scholarship."

When Bryson graduates, he plans to attend Wallace Community College and then transfer to a four-year college to pursue a degree in Physical Therapy.
