Sam, you are thought about and missed everyday by many people, and you will always be missed. I remember in class when we discussed birthdays, and I got excited because your birthday and my birthday are so close. You didn't get as excited about it as I did, but that's okay. :-) You smiled and nodded as usual. :-)

When I ment Pena till we ended things you held me up from my downs u were there to help me with my school work when I couldn't get it u took care of my dogs when I was gone moat important u made me grow to b a better . Person I love u more then anything n wish u were still with me and here I wish I could have done something to help u. There is so many things we had planned but I cant wait till I c u again. You were an amazing person friend son n marine. I will never forget u or the crazy adventures we had like when I ran into a pineapple tree n u stopped or tried stopping the bleeding with grass n told me to just drink more so I wouldn't feel it haha love u always

I vividly remember being warmly greeted by Sam on a cold winter night. He was standing outside of JC Penney, dutifully ringing a bell, wearing his Marine uniform and a contagious smile.

Stayed the night with you last night and had a nice long chat about some things thats been bothering me since you've been gone. I love you bro you were always the life of the party no matter where you were. So many memories we shared just wish we could've had more. Soar high in the sky like the bald eagle you wanted to be. I I love you Sam and miss you a lot wish you were still here.

Love always, your negro amigo

I had Sam in Knob Noster High School art class for 4 years. He was smart, respectful, attentive, super talented, fun and loved by all his classmates. We had so much fun working together. It was a great class. I remember many moments of whole class outbreak laughter instigated by Sam. What a smile!

Loved you then, love you still, always have, always will.
I miss you and love you more than I can express.
Loves you baby, Mama

I never got to meey you, but your Mom is a wonderful lady. You are a hero to me for serving our country. You are with our Lord in hid Glorious Kingdom.
