Sam Carr Obituary
Sam lived an extraordinary life, but faced emotional well-being challenges that ultimately led to his passing. While we understand your desire for more information, we humbly request that you refrain from seeking details surrounding Sam's passing. Instead, we invite you to join us in celebrating his life and remembering the joy and love he brought to all who knew him. Your compassion, love, and outpouring of support during this trying time would be greatly appreciated as we navigate this unimaginable loss.
If we can do one thing for Sam now, in the midst of this soul-crushing loss, it's to remember his bright smile, non-judgmental nature and complete loving acceptance of anyone around him, his love for animals, his passion and talent for music, and his joy of traveling and exploring the world with us as a family. He had an incredible spirit that touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. We are immensely grateful for the 20 years he graced us with his presence. We will forever cherish the memories we made together and will continue to carry him with us as we navigate through life.
Sam will be cremated and we will hold a small celebration of life in the Vancouver, WA area on 9 July, 2023.
In lieu of flowers, Sam requested donations be made in his name to the Wenatchee Valley Humane Society.

I met Sam when I started high school at WestSide in 2018. I struggled with a severe case of anxiety that made it almost impossible for me to speak to most people. But we ended up being paired up in multiple classrooms together and ended up talking to me. He was kind and positive, often providing support when needed. We used to read a series called "Warriors" together during our lunch break in the trees with another friend of ours. He always had something interesting to say and I found myself listening to him whenever he would ramble about fostering cats, him and his brother´s snake, or just any issue going on in the world. I always thought he was intelligent and I looked up to him.
We hung out multiple times outside of school and we even travelled out of town once just to go to a Pokémon tournament in Waterville. He urged me to try things out of my comfort zone and I found myself becoming more social as time went on. Unfortunately, we didn´t get to hang out as much as we wanted to due to COVID. I lost contact with a lot of friends, but we would keep in touch from time to time.
It was 2022 when I started to hear from him again after he reached out to me. We caught up and he let me know what had happened in his life for the past year and a half. I would then hear from him every couple of weeks to a month, always hoping he would visit Wenatchee again so we could hang out and catch up properly.
Even though Sam went through so many different obstacles throughout the last few strenuous years; he remained a good friend. It was so hard to hear about everything happening in his life, but he was strong and kept trying. He did his best to remain somewhat positive in his texts, even though what he was going through could have made anyone feel down.
Sam, thank you for being there for me when I thought I was alone. You were one of the best people I ever met and I´m so glad I had the chance to know you. Thank you for teaching me so many things about life and myself. My deepest condolences for the Carr family- I hope you are all fairing well and taking the time to heal. <3

I met Sam and Ash and Anne on A Boundary Waters Canoe trip in August, 2020, a little escape from the pandemic. It was a pleasure to get to know them and we had so much fun. Sam and Ash were great at starting the campfires and keeping them going and we were all so grateful! My daughter, Amy, and I have been friends of Aunt Cathy for years! We consider ourselves part of the extended family. I am so saddened by this devastating news and send condolences and love to Ash, Anne, George, Cathy and all the family, some of whom I have met and many that I have not! This is just so hard to accept and understand. My heart is breaking for all of you.
As stated in the beautiful Obituary"
" We will cherish the memories we made together and carry him with us as we navigate through life. Rest in Eternal Peace, dear Sam. You will live forever in our hearts"

Dear George, Anne, Ash, Nancy, Kylee and Mikaela please know that I send my deepest sympathies from Up-State NY. For my time in Leavenworth/ Wenatchee your family was very special to me and a shining light during a time when I needed family around me even if I wasn´t a Carr.
There are no words available while looking back that can describe what I wish I could tell Sam. So, what I can say is that I´ll adopt my next homeless kitty in Sam´s name. Also, I will try harder to be more loving and understanding of what others may be experiencing because I want to continue to give honor to Sam! More kind words, more smiles for strangers, and more ways to help people if it´s within my reach. This I will do for Sam showing that he has impacted me profoundly!
With all my love I send a piece of my heart to all of you!
Sincerely,
Amy Burns
