He aspired to create opportunities for veterans, offering roles, internships, and organizing fundraising events to support various veteran charities. Despite the thriving business, Zach battled PTSD and depression, eventually passing on October 8th, 2021. In his memory, Krista Hollingsworth, Zach\u2019s widow, has taken up the mantle of continuing his legacy. With her tenacity, she has propelled Freedom Whiskey to greater heights, raising over $64,000 for veteran charities in 2024 alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Krista stepped away from a decade-long career in property management to dedicate herself entirely to Freedom Whiskey.
