Help Bring Sam Home & Honor His Memory

Our hearts are broken as we share the unexpected passing of Sam — a loving father, loyal friend, and someone who truly never met a stranger. He had a way of making everyone feel welcome, heard, and cared for. His kindness and laughter touched so many lives, and his absence leaves a space that can never be filled.

During this incredibly difficult time, our family is facing the emotional pain of losing Sam along with the unexpected financial burden that comes with it. We are asking for support to help cover cremation expenses and travel costs to Arizona so we can be there to say our goodbyes and bring his remains back home.

Once Sam is home, we plan to hold a memorial service in Detroit where friends and family can come together to celebrate his life, share memories, and honor the love he gave so freely.

Any donation, no matter the amount, will help ease the financial stress on the family and allow us to focus on grieving and remembering Sam the way he deserves. If you’re unable to give, please consider sharing this fundraiser and keeping our family in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for your love, support, and kindness during this painful time.
