Samuel Shaer: A beautiful human being

A son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, and friend.

For the last few years of his life, Sam struggled with mental illness extending from his limited self-view. He was unable to see himself the way everyone around him did. He embodied selflessness, kindness, empathy, and many other beautiful qualities. He desperately sought mutual understanding in others but was afraid to show his vulnerability.

Sam lost his battle to the demons in his mind on May 11, 2023. May his life be a reminder to you or your loved ones; you are not alone, you are loved, and you deserve to be heard.
