It’s just now I’m learning about Sam. We took Sam in his senior year. NEVER DID WE JUDGE hum or his parents! It’s just that we saw a kid in need of help. We saw Sam as very intelligent, even above the normal. He just needed a fresh start. Sam just seemed to get in his own way. He was his own worse enemy. We felt he always wanted more, it just took time and maturity. I’m so proud of the man he came to be! We always knew he would get there! I just wish me and Vicky could of been there along aside his parents to cheer him on in his a compliments!! Sam was a very special person. Anyone who met him, who really seen Sam could feel his love for life through his eyes. You will forever be one of our boys. Until I see you on the other side. RIP Sam ❤️

I’m so deeply sorry that tragedy has struck. Sam was enjoying one of his greatest fun things and being respectful of his safety and care on the road. And from out of nowhere, someone wasn’t. I feel his loss in anger. Much too young and was setting himself up to succeed. Getting straight with all he cared about. I will miss Sam. A good kid. A good son. A good grandson. And a good uncle. And obviously a good friend and guide to many. Blessings and peace.
