Hey brotha we’re coming up on 3 years. Me and the boys just shared your memories and pics for a couple hours. Really miss you my man. Love you bro. Save a spot for me at the big meeting in the sky.

May your memories give you peace and comfort of your loved one. Words fall short of expressing my sorrow for the loss of your loved one. May GOD be with you all during this difficult time. 1 Thessalonians 4:14 For if we have faith that Jesus died and rose again, so too God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in death through Jesus.

We were heartbroken to hear the news of Sam´s passing.... Our family has so many fond memories of Sam and TELL. I hadn´t see Sam for a few years when my son Pierson was in the same prom group. I wasn´t surprised to see he was the same sweet young man I had remembered. I am so grateful to have a pic of the boys together. I was so sorry to miss his celebration of life yesterday. Pierson attended and said there was a huge crowd. I hope there is some comfort in knowing how much he was loved....

Dear friends, Yesterday we witnessed a beautiful and deeply moving tribute to your much loved Sam. We were so thankful to be there with you to celebrate his short but meaningful life. There was a theme about Sam ~ he was a thoughtful, funny and witty person, a deep thinker who looked at life outside the box, a great friend, brother, son, cousin, grandson and a person who was and is deeply loved. I´ll not soon forget a young Sam who invited an elderly neighbor to his birthday party or that he...

We would like to send our condolences and deepest sympathies to the Zapata family. Sam's charisma and love for life impacted every member of our family. We considered Sam not just a friend, but a member of our family. He has left us with the memory of how to live life to the fullest, be fearless, respect the people around you, and always expand your knowledge.

My heart is with you J. While I did not know Sam personally, I´m sure he inherited and carried on a big part of your beautiful soul with him. Thinking of you and your family.
