Yes, but honesty doesn't mean telling everyone everything. You can be honest and say nothing. Honesty means not making up a narrative in which you had a nice chat and they left voluntarily. Just tell people "Zach no longer works for GitHub". It's honest, only presents the needed facts, and as a bonus doesn't make people who know that Zach got fired wonder what else management lie about in their internal emails.
