I did not know about this until about 15 minutes ago, and I feel so bad about what happened. I didn't really know Sam at all, but I did know Dan. Dan is a funny guy, and whenever he would talk about his brother he could find nothing bad to say about Sam. I know It's going to be hard for Dan, and his family to get through this, but you must stay strong and think of the positive. Every now and then sit around and laugh about the memories of Sam. There is a time for grief, but there is also time for remembering the best times you've had with Sam. -Kahl Orr

Sam was an awesome friend and he was always there when i needed him most. We shared some good laughs especially in class. i am sad to see him go because high school and life will be different without him there to share it with.
