Tragic Death of Samuel Fortune

Dear Family and Friends,

We are devastated to share the news of the passing of our little brother, Samuel Henry Fortune, who tragically died in an unexplained vehicle incident on Monday, August 8th, 2022 at the age of 19. His body was found at Eagle Creek Park after the car was engulfed in flames. We do not know what happened or the events leading up to the fire.

Samuel was a kind, honest, patient, and loveable young man who was looking forward to the future. Samuel loved his friends and family, especially the children, and he loved helping his home church every week. He admired music and would often share his gift with others by playing the saxphone and piano.

Due to the sudden and unexpected nature of his death, we are urgently raising funds to go towards the funeral cost and the proper burial he deserves, which need to be paid upfront. The funds will help alleviate the financial strain of Samuel’s death on our family.

Please consider donating if you are able to do so. We greatly appreciate every single donation during this difficult time. Thank you in advance!

With love,

Sara Fortune-Auri & Rebecca Fortune Gondola
