Suddenly, and tragically, passed away on Saturday 9th December 2017, whilst doing what he lived for, aged 27. Loved son of Julie and the late Paul; idolised brother of Jared, and Kristi; adored nephew and cousin of the Zarifeh and Howard families; treasured boyfriend of Katie; and an admired and respected mate of so, so many. Thank you to Haast Heli for returning our beloved Sam to us.
