“Hello, my name is Daniel. I am reaching out with a heavy heart to share the tragic loss of my son, Samuel. On February 1st, 2024, Samuel, just 23 years old, was senselessly shot and killed by a local gang member. This devastating incident stemmed from a dispute, with Samuel wrongly accused of robbery by the individual who took his life. As a result, Samuel’s young daughter, only two years old, now faces the unimaginable reality of growing up without her father’s love and guidance.
Compounding this tragedy is the financial strain it has placed on our family. Samuel did not have insurance, leaving us struggling to cover the costs of his viewing and burial. As of now, Samuel remains with the Medical Examiner at the police station, awaiting the funds necessary to proceed with funeral arrangements. The total cost exceeds $5000, and while we have received generous support from friends and family, we still require additional assistance to lay Samuel to rest with dignity.
“Samuel was not just a son; he was a kindhearted soul whose presence brought joy to everyone around him. His infectious laughter and compassionate nature endeared him to all who knew him, and his sudden absence leaves a gaping hole in our lives. He had a way of making others feel valued and understood, and his loss is felt deeply by his family, friends, and the community alike.
His memory will forever live on in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to have known him, but the pain of his absence is profound. As we navigate through this difficult time, we find solace in the cherished moments we shared with Samuel and in the love and support of those around us.
Your assistance, whether through financial contributions or prayers, will help us honor Samuel’s memory and provide him with the dignified farewell he deserves. Please join us in celebrating his life and legacy, and in offering comfort to those left behind to mourn his untimely passing.
Thank you, from the depths of my heart, for your compassion and generosity during this unimaginably difficult time.”
