Samuel David Strahan

I first met Sam in the 3rd grade at Freeman. We were both new kids and i just needed a freind. Sam was one of the smartest and real people i have ever met. i always loved coming over to his house and playing capture the flag, or just chilling in his basement and playing Minecraft. Sam, I miss you and Im happy that you are reunited with your dad! Fly high buddy

I met Sam at summer camp this summer. from the day i met him, i could instantly tell that he was an amazing person. i love and miss him with all my heart. even though i had only seen him face to face for a week, i considered him one of the best friends i had. he is so brave and sweet, and caring. i love you Sam, may you rest in peace. the day i heard about this, i dropped to my knees. i couldn't breathe. i had a panic attack. you are so courageous and you inspire me in so many ways. i wanted to go to the memorial, but i couldn't find out when it was. now i feel terrible. i should've been there to say goodbye and thank you for being so brave. you are my hero. you made me laugh when i was down, you brought light into the world when it was dark. thank you Sam. i love you. R.I.P

Sam, god bless your heart and soul when you entered eternal life! You are safe even more now. God bless you!!

What a wonderful young man you and your husband raised. No words can comfort but know that your sweet Sam will be remembered. Thinking of you and your daughter.

Sam,
You are a wonderful boy. Thank you so much for showing everyone in this world how little acts of kindness and bravery go a long way. Every day I have been thinking about you. I will continue to think about you, your bravery, and the difference you made in this world in your short life.

Sam's Family,
I am so sorry for your lost. Your boy was precious and made a huge difference in this world. Everything he did in his short life will not go unnoticed. I hope you all find the peace you need.
