Funds for Sam's funeral and headstone

We are raising funds to offset the cost of his funeral, headstone and memorial pieces in an attempt to not burden the family with financial stress as they navigate the rough waters of their loss. Any surplus funds will be distributed between the Canadian Mental Health Foundation and KW youth basketball association.

Born on June 28th, 2004 to his loving parents Diana Ghandour and Rami Abu Alassal.

Brother to Asad Assal, Matthew, James, Maria Kayal and Dominck White. Stepson to Deborah White. Loved by so so many more.

Sam had a bright light within him and a smile that lit up his eyes. You could not be near him without feeling the beautiful energy he radiated. Anyone who knew him can easily attest to this.

His love and energy was not only shared with his family but with good friends and thankfully, in his short time with us, a first romantic love. But his first love of any sort was basketball! Sam loved anything and everything basketball and on this, he could talk for hours. He also put a lot of energy into making music, taking photos, nature action figures and gaming.

Sam's light burnt out January 19th, 2023 and many are feeling the darkness. In this darkness we carry him in our hearts and as such, he lives on. Long Live Sam
