  1. It’s so sad 13 is no age to die I remember the post well I see no mention of any family. Tragic sad whatever led up to Samuel dying this way the more I think of it is why what a waste of life. RIP Samuel no more pain or torment ???

  2. I had the pleasure of knowing this lovely boy, thoughts go out to his family, you will be so missed Sammy ? x

  3. No Parent should have to suffer the loss of a child & especially not in their teenage years when life is just starting to open up for them.
    So sad to hear that this promising young man lost his life so soon, perhaps God has other plans for him.
    The Parents you had were the ones god chose, No matter how you feel,
    They were made in mind with Gods design
    They carry his Heavenly seal
    He took you Sam because he loves you
    And I guess he always will.
    Rest in peace where ever you may be, your sprit will always be free to ride the wind, fly high little man….

  4. So so heartbroken to hear this news, I knew him for only a short while yet he left his mark on my heart …R.I.P SAMMY ??
