Help Honor Samuel Leyva's Inspiring Legacy

Even after days have passed , the belief in spreading this news is unbelievable. Someone who loved to share their adventures in order to motivate you to leave your ordinary to experience something new. Someone who loved connecting people with others that you may have not met otherwise. Someone whom saw a spark in each individual that he wanted to fan in order bring out a potential fire within you to make you want to be a better version of yourself. My brother Samuel Leyva has returned back to Mother Earth and rejoined the Great Spirit.

On the night of July 5th I received a call I could never fathom. After just leaving for work, my wife called me to turn around because something happened to your brother. Shortly after coming home his passing was announced at 11PM. Just like all who have heard for the first time the overwhelming feeling of shock and disbelief set in while trying to rationalize the news. The cause is still currently unknown.

We understand not all will be able to make it so I am creating multiple opportunities in for you to pay your respects. The first will be his services which will be announced once Samuel is home. The second will be at his celebration of life. All proceeds will go to cover the expenses of bringing Samuel home from Colorado, his services, and his celebration of life. Any extra funds will go towards donating in his honor. The hopes are of opening a sailing school in his name at the South Bay Yacht Club and possibly starting an annual scholarship for West Valley College in which he attended. Please help me lay Samuel to rest and immortalize him as a Bay Area native. If you would like to donate directly instead of paying for the dues on this platform.

Thank you everyone reaching out and the love/prayers you have been giving my family
