You will be so very missed for so very long. You were one of those one a million kind of people that remind us all that good people are out there. You were one of those few people that spoke me on a personal level and knew me as a person and not just as a few pixels. Those late night conversations will be missed, and the world is just a little bit lonelier without you popping up to say hello. My thoughts are with you, your loved ones, and your friends.
Rest in peace, Mr. Doom.

Doomie was always there with a smile and encouraging word, and has been a steady positive presence in our lives for years. People on nexus grew up with the kid, and we will really miss seeing him around. Wishing his family warmth and love as they manage their loss. <3

He was a man who always made others smile, and who was always full of kindness and warmth. I'll never forget him, and will strive to pass on his kindness to others. Thank you Samuel for sharing part of your life with me! You're the best Hat that ever lived.

Words can't even express how sorry I am for your incredible loss.
To Samuel's family, Sarah and his friends both on and off line.. my thoughts and prayers are with each and every one of you.
Samuel who I affectionately called "Doomski" was one of the sweetest, kindest, most sincere and genuine gentleman I have ever met. He was an amazing friend. I can't say enough good things about him.
He will be missed very, very much.

Samuel was like the big brother I never had. Even though I only knew him online from Nexus, I could always count on him to be there when I needed him. His loss has left a hole in my heart. To his family, know that Sam touched the lives of everyone who knew him in the most positive way!
