In Memory of Samuel Sias Funeral & Memorial Fund

Hi My name is Amanda Spear-Purchase, and my family has suffered an unthinkable loss. My brother Samuel Sias passed away on Friday, Dec. 2, 2022, after a battle with mental illness.

We are not the ones to ask for help, but I would like to lessen the financial burden on my parents. On April 1st, our Dad suffered a major Stroke that left him to learn how to walk and use his left hand again. He is making fantastic progress, but it has left him unable to work. Now my parents have to do the unthinkable lay their youngest child to rest. So I am asking for your help; any amount will be greatly appreciated.

Samuel was born October 12, 1996, the youngest of 5 children. Son to Jeffrey and Annemarie Sias. Sam was the silly little brother who followed his older sisters and brothers. Sam and his family enjoyed many adventures to the beach, amusement parks, shows, Fenway and more. Sam played baseball as a kid and was on track and field at Minnechaug High School, with family on the sideline at every event, cheering him on. Sam suffered the unthinkable loss of his best friend, Evan Feeney, in elementary school. After the loss of Evan, Sam began to attend programs to cope with loss and participated in a weeklong camp program in Maine, Camp Manitou. When he got older, Sam became a volunteer counselor at the camp. While at camp, Sam formed a great friendship with Quinn, a true friend to the end. Following graduation, Sam worked with his sister in the box office at CityStage & Symphony Hall and, most recently, at Mercedes of Springfield. Sam was lucky to have the love and care of his girlfriend, Rhea of Fall River. Sam was also the proud Uncle to 5 beautiful young children, who admiringly referred to him as "DAH". The loss of Sam burns deep in his family's hearts, and his spirit will live on in them.

We want to thank everyone in advance who has reached out. We feel the love and support during the darkest time we have ever encountered.
