You will be missed Sam. Shawna Jason and I are praying for all. Love you

I was deeply saddened to hear about Sam’s passing. I knew Sam as a teenager playing baseball. He had a bright smile that he wore at all times. I loved his personality and his interaction with all those around him. Scarlett, my heart is truly broken for you. There are no words for the pain you must be experiencing. I’ll be keeping Sam’s children and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Sam was one of my favorites for sure.

I would just like to wish my condolences and tell the family how sorry I am for your loss. I was one of Sam’s coaches in high school and would like for his kids to know what a pleasure he was to coach and what a tough competitor he was. God bless.

With the deepest sympathy we honor the memory of our beloved friend/coworker. May these flowers convey our heartfelt condolences.
