Was looking for a friend's obituary and became inspired by Sam's adventures and love and respect for animals. Wish I had known him. Sam, you are a sweet soul my friend. Rest in peace.

I know I will miss Sam. He was always so kind and caring towards me. I house/dog sat for Terri and Steve, in the past, and a few times Sam would drop by, and we would sit and chat for hours about life, family and, how we could fix the world…lol we’d get a kick out of that one, knowing it’s not our job, fixing other people. But we sure did have some great ideas for the fixing..! 🤣 Sam, you are going to be missed by so many people, and the positive impact you have had on others is numerous. My condolences to the whole family, and may Gods comfort, peace and love be upon you all during this difficult time. Sending love 💕 and hugs 🤗 to Terri and Steve.

Though we did not get to know Sam, we have learned bits about his life over the last eight years of knowing his parents, whom we care for very deeply. May God's peace rest on Sam and his family now and always, The McDermotts

I had met Sam a couple times through mutual friends & even though it was just for the party he showed up alongside others to celebrate my 21st at a cabin party in packwood my friends threw for me. I remember right before I blacked out being on the deck kind of hanging over the edge begging for forgiveness lol…but anyways he had made a joke saying he’d been there and wanted to make sure I was okay. That was the last moment before my 21st took over & one of the only memories I have from that night was a conversation with him on the deck. There were many other occasions where I was around him. He was a very kind soul and the white pass family will miss him dearly. Thank you Sam for always showing up for you friends and loved ones & even strangers. You were so loved by so many.

The day Sam was born rocked my world. I remember every thing from this moment. Having been blessed to watch his birth, I was able to hold him mere minutes after his arrival. I love him so much. Thank you, Terri and Dad, for having me there. — with Sam and oldest sister, Heather
