It is with a heavy heart that we are asking for help and prayers. My name is Renee, my younger brother is Elias, tragically we lost our brother Sam Rivera on May 13, 2023. We are raising funds to lay our brother Sam to rest. Sam was born 10/18/86, he was 36 years old. He was the victim of a hit and run on the night of May 13th on Tully Rd and Hwy 101. Sam was the brightest light in the room. Sam enjoyed nature, he was super adventurous and loved to make people around him smile. Sam was full of life and enjoyed spending time around family and friends. He especially loved being around his 3 year old son, Kaleo. His son was his every breath, his every heartbeat.The love between Daddy and son was pure and beautiful to be around. If you had the opportunity to know Sam then you know the smile and especially the hearty belly aching laughter we will all be missing. When Sam entered the room he came in with such high energy, funny stories and a beautiful smile. He was always so full of love. He is leaving a large hole in all our hearts. We were lucky enough to have had Sam in our lives.....not long enough....taken way too soon. #Godneededanangel. Unfortunaley this was all so sudden and as young as he was....no plans have ever been made for his burial. We appreciate any help. The funds will be used for funeral and burial expenses any extra will be given to his son. RIP Sam....WE LOVE YOU. #justiceforsam #NEVERFORGETSAMUELJRIVERA
