Dear Mr. and Mrs. Owen,
I learned of Sam's passing from a friend who is a coworker of Mr. Owen. I remember Sam as his first name is the same as my son's. Sam came in to the running store in which I work right before the Gwinnett County High School county finals his senior year. He had questions about nutrition prior to his meet, as he told me that he was trying to swim a state qualifying time. We had a wonderful conversation, and I remember being quite impressed and taken with what a mature, intelligent, and composed young man he was. I asked him what events he was swimming, and I told him that I would be cheering for him as I would be attending the meet watching my daughter swim. I remember watching his reaction as he swam his qualifying time, and I was so happy for him when he met his goal.
My heart breaks for you, as I cannot imagine how difficult it is to lose a child. I am so sorry for your loss, and my thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Reading through everyone's messages, it is evident how many people's lives Sam touched. May you take comfort in that, and God bless you and your family.
With sincere condolences,
Kristin Aziz

Nina & Jeff,
Mark & I wish we could have spent more time with you both tonight but there was such a crowd. What an awesome tribute to Sam and your family.
There are so many different connections. Sam touched a lot of lives himself and through you both, his sisters, family and and all of his friends he spread a lot of goodness.

Nina, Jeff, Maggie and Claire,
We are so sorry to learn of your loss. We have many happy memories of Sam from when we were neighbors and especially from the summer when he watched Thomas, William and Stephen while I was teaching summer school. He was so kind to them, and they looked up to him. They say he was the best sitter they ever had and he always reminded me of one of my boys. He was quiet, kind, smart, philosophical and handsome.
When I think of Sam, the strongest memory that comes through is the pure and absolute love you had for him and for each other. I saw expressions of this love so many times and had such admiration and respect for you all because of it.

Dear Mr. and Mrs Owen, Claire, and Maggie
Sam had become like a brother to me from the first day of our freshman year at Georgia Tech, and his passing is a terrible tragedy for all of us who knew him. You and your family have my deepest sympathy. Sam was an inspiration to me. I admired all those wonderful qualities that made him the special person that he was. He had intelligence, wit, charm and a caring heart that made him a great friend.
I will always be thankful that I had the opportunity to get to know him better and to call him a friend. I will cherish his memory for all of my life.
The poet Yeats once wrote "Count where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory is I had such friends."
In Sympathy,
