This devastating news is heartbreaking. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Michelle, David, Max , and Theo,

Growing up with Sam and having attended North and Crocker with him, I had to pleasure to get to know him. He was always a very kind person with a big heart. I remember hanging out when we were neighbors, and as young kids playing mario cart. He had a great sense of humor and always made me laugh. He will be missed. My heart goes to your family.

Sincerely,

Fenn Jones

Dear Michelle, David, and Family,

I was fortunate to meet Sam briefly at CIP in August. He was so friendly and polite and clearly excited and proud to be starting the program. You have been and will remain in my thoughts and I hope that the knowledge that you are surrounded by an extended  community of caring and hope gives you some solace.

Andrea Rose (Emery Rose's mom)

Sam came into my life when he was  in elementary school. He was always an amazing addition to my social language groups and I watched him grow and develop weekly. I loved working with him when he was in middle school and again when he was away at college. His recent growth put a smile on my face every time we talked. He had a majestic sense of "calm" as he was growing into himself and really understanding the world around him. His new school and environment was exactly what he had hoped for and the sky was the limit for what he was about to achieve. Our time together was priceless. I will forever hold onto the thought that he felt happy, more confident and like he was in a place where he could shine.  He will always shine on inside of my heart. Thank you Sam. Thank you for being YOU!!  I miss you already.

Dear Michelle, David, Max and Theo,

sending deepest condolences to your family. I had the pleasure of being with Sam’s class my first year at Crocker. He was in my son’s class  and I remember what a kind, sweet, gentle boy  he was.  Sending warm hugs your way and know that your neighbors in Hillsborough are thinking of you during this extremely difficult time.

I am so sorry for your loss . I adored Sam and I loved teaching him tennis and he was so kind and so thoughtful and brilliant.

You are incredible parents and so dedicated to your boys and my thoughts are with you and I am so sorry  and so sad for Sam’s passing! Love you always, Monique

If you’re lucky in your life, you get the opportunity to impact another life. 
When I met Sam, I immediately felt a connection, I knew this young man had others best interests at heart and he truly tried to make you smile by starting every conversation with a happy greeting. 
My life will forever be changed by meeting Sam and I will forever remember his.

I’m sorry for your loss. I was getting to know Sam. He was really nice.

Love from Jeff, Kristen, Lily and Clem

Ebersman family, 

We are deeply saddened by the news of your beloved son Sam.  It is impossible to imagine the pain and heartache and we are praying for your peace and comfort during this heartbreaking time.  

With love to all of you - Robson, Christine, Sabette, Jimmy and Camille Grieve

While death happens every day, everywhere, it always feels foreign until it touches your family. My sister lost her teenage son nearly two years ago, and I know from experience that the days ahead for you and your family will often be unbearable. You can never "recover" from this, but know that there are people there who will bring moments of love and kindness, and when you're ready to embrace it, you'll find the strength to live in honor and celebration of Samuel's life and legacy. You're all in my thoughts.

Sam, Michelle and Dave are in our hearts.  With all our love.

Sharon, Scott, Ariella, and Elana Hartley

My love and condolences go out to all members of our family. Sam's passing has torn open my heart - which is so very fragile from the passing of my beloved wife Sarita just 6 months ago. 
Sam will be remembered so lovingly in each of our hearts and souls.
