Scholarships awarded in memory of Four Star Freightliner employee
In an effort to continue the legacy of Four Star Freightliner employee Zachary Sizemore, the company has awarded four additional scholarships to high school seniors. Four Star awarded the first Zachary Sizemore Memorial Scholarship in 2017, one year after Sizemore passed away from cancer. He worked in the accounting department at the Dothan, Ala. location.
When choosing recipients, Four Star Freightliner dealer principal Jerry Kocan looks for candidates who appear to not only have a dream, but a plan. He said he knows Zach would be proud of how he is being remembered.
“Knowing Zach, I think he would appreciate our efforts because he was very passionate about Four Star and loved his job and the people he worked with, said Kocan. “He lives because his memory is helping others to live their dreams. He is still having an impact all these years later.”
The 2021 recipients include:
- Marcus Fields, Greenville, Ala., Greenville High School
- Zach Cosby, Montgomery, Ala., Loveless Academic Magnet Program High School
- Amber Hammon, Gordon, Ala., Cottonwood High School
- Alana Wallace, Hoover, Ala., Hoover High School
Each student will receive a one-time $1,000 award to use towards expenses at the college of their choice. Four Star Freightliner has awarded a total of $18,000 to students in honor of Sizemore.
