Sorry Kane. To young to leave us. Never forgotten

Sam lit up the room with his humor and friendly personality. Whether it was a Harley ride, Kings game, or the Grammys, if Sam was there, it was sure to be a great time. A wonderful man who is already missed.
Rest in peace.

I only got to meet Sam on a couple of occasions but feel I knew him well through my sister, Barbara Kozakiewicz and her boyfriend, Charles Robinson. They always spoke so fondly of him and I know they are both heart broken since his passing. Condolences to his family. May he Rest In Peace now.

August 2, 2017 - I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I pray to God that he provides his family with peace and comfort knowing he was a wonderful man.

Sam educated me on the bare necessities of working at the STAPLES Center my first year.

Sam we loved you and will miss you the rest of our lives. Rest in peace our dear friend.
Charles and Barbara

Sam, you were a true friend to me and my entire family. Your generosity and kindness will be greatly missed. You will forever be a part of our memory of when we vacationed in LA and you spent a great deal of time showing us around STAPLES. To this day we still talk about you and that very special day.
Thank you my friend...may you rest in peace.

Joe: your are one in a million who can say their brother was a big brother AND your best friend. That alone is a gift not many experience. We pray your heart grows lighter each day and you can feel those memories only you and Kane shared with a smile in your heart. Losing someone so specialis like a deep knife in our heart and takes a long time-if ever- to heal. We are sending you peace, prayers & blessings. Ever so glad we were able to meet this wonderful person. May he rest in peace and remain in your heart. Love You, Shirley & Jon

Sammy - so many memories of you. You were always there for me with a hug and a smile. I loved being around you and just talking about everything and anything that came to mind always a great time - you were always there for me. Thank you my friend - you will be missed.

Thank you Kane for taking care of Amber for me. You will never know how much that meant to me. You left us to soon.

I had the good fortune of meeting Sam during a Kings pre-season game at the Staples Center. He gave me a great tour of the facility and then handed me a hockey puck specially made for the 2014 Stanley Cup Finals. May the Good Lord bless and keep you Sam. Thank you for the kindness shown to a complete stranger.

Although I never met Kane he sounds like a very wonderful caring and loving man. Anyone who knew him personally was truly blessed. Prayers going out to you that God will bring about the peace you all need at this sad time. I wish I would have met him.

Joe and Sherry thinking of you and praying strength and comfort for you. My deepest sympathy for the loss of your great friend and dear brother. Kane RIP

Sam, you gave me a shot to do something new and have experiences that a most people can only dream of. You kept me out of hot water more than once and always made sure to include me when I was the new guy. I can just say thanks boss man for the friendship and experience. See you on the other side. Blessings to your family and friends.
Love ya

My dear Sam,
One day I heard someone say that true friends are the family you choose. All I have to say is that I thank my lucky stars to have put me in your path of life and allowed me the gift of your beautiful friendship but most of all, your unconditional love.
Throughout the years of working together, I got to learn so much from you, how much you loved your job and the true definition of dedication, but the best part about getting to know you better was when I got to know the beautiful soul inside, the generous, caring, funny, loving man you were.
You did for me and my family more than we could ever do for you, and we will forever be grateful. Thank you for accepting the important role of being my son's godfather. Thank you for being who you were.
I will miss you so much, I will miss your contagious laugh and our lunches together, but please know that you'll always live in my heart and I'll think of you everyday and I know I will see you again some day.

Hasta la vista Samito.

Everyone's friend...and that's special. So happy to have known, worked, laughed and had some truly memorable times together. The legacy of such has enriched us all. That special and unique language I've never heard and will miss. And you were always the rarest of rare through it all...a gentleman.
To life...and your next adventure.

Our Mr. Personality fly with the angels! We always enjoyed yours & Joeys company. We will miss you so much.
Rest in Gods hands dear nephew.

Aunt Ida & Uncle Louis

We will miss you and your wonderful personality, when we visit your parents,
Thank you & Joe for all you do for us when we visit. Joey keep strong, we love you

Our dear Kane, you gave and loved unconditionally. I will miss seeing you pop by, jesting around with Joe, always helping us to get those tickets at events at the Staples Center. You are loved more than you could possibly know and will be missed, cherished and remembered always. We love you, dear friend. May angels wings take you safely home. Until we meet again.
