Help Honor Sam Kolstad’s Life and Legacy

Over Labor Day Weekend, our beloved Sam’s life was tragically cut short after a devastating accident. Despite every effort to save him, including an emergency helicopter transport and several surgeries, Sam passed away from a severe brain injury.

As we grieve this sudden and heartbreaking loss, we are also faced with the unexpected burden of funeral expenses.

But even in his final moments, Sam’s selflessness shined. By donating his organs, he gave others a second chance at life. His legacy of generosity and love continues to live on.

Who Sam Was

Sam had a deep love for the outdoors and wildlife. He had a special way of connecting with animals and embracing the beauty of nature. He was kind-hearted, always quick to lend a hand, and cherished every moment spent with family and friends. Whether it was four-wheeling with his dad on the farm, laughing with loved ones, or enjoying music of all kinds, Sam brought light and joy into every space he entered.

Why We’re Asking for Help

We are asking for support to cover Sam’s funeral costs and ease the financial strain these overwhelming medical bills have placed on our family. Relieving these burdens will allow us the space to grieve and honor Sam without the crushing weight of debt.

Any amount raised beyond our goal will go toward helping other families who find themselves in the same heartbreaking position of losing a loved one while facing unexpected expenses.

How You Can Help

Please consider donating to honor Sam’s memory and his legacy of kindness. If you are unable to give, simply sharing this fundraiser with your community would mean the world. Together, we can ensure Sam’s family finds peace in knowing his story continues to touch lives.
