Ladies and gentlemen, family and friends, we gather here today to celebrate the life of Sam, whose presence touched so many of our lives. Sam, who was not only my best friend but a light and inspiration to everyone who knew him.

It is said that true friendship isn't about being inseparable; it's about being separated and knowing nothing will change. Sam and I had the rare privilege of knowing this type of unwavering bond. Together, we cried, we laughed, and we shared a treasure trove of memories that could fill a lifetime.

We were there for each other twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, whether it be to exchange advice or argue our perspectives. Though we were both Aries, stubborn as they come, we always found our way back to each other, like two magnets drawn to each other—unstoppable. There were no secrets between us, not like the ones that make you know someone like the back of your hand.

Sam was like a well-tuned instrument, capable of instilling each day with whimsy and mirth. We shared recipes and jokes, and even enjoyed dishing on who wore it best on the red carpet. Yes, we loved our TV shows, and I will forever cherish the Yellowstone series he gifted me to watch together.

Each day, I looked forward to his morning text, featuring a coffee cup emoji to kick-start my day. And our shared inside jokes, like sending each other '1234' whenever the clock hit that magical time, will forever be etched in my heart.

As we mourn the loss of Sam today, I cannot help but think of the following poem, which perfectly encapsulates the spirit of our bond:

We walked the journey of life together,
Side by side, hands held tight, hearts as one.
We shared the laughter, the tears, the love,
And through it all, we never lost sight of us.

From recipe exchanges to red carpet gossip
Our synergy knew no boundary or bar.
You knew my heart, I knew your soul,
Together we conquered each high, each low.

Now I stand alone, apart from you,
My heart heavy, my eyes dim with tears.
But eternally grateful, my soul sings with joy,
For you to be my best friend, was the greatest gift of all.

Sam, my dear friend, your memory will live on in my heart and the hearts of all who had the privilege to know you. You were my guiding star on the darkest nights and my confidant in times of need. Thank you, from the depths of my being, for being my friend.

Now, as we gather here today, let us honor Sam's life and the remarkable impact he had on us all. May Sam's memory serve as a guiding beacon of hope, love, and inspiration. And may we find comfort in knowing that, just as our bond was unbreakable in life, it remains steadfast in the realm beyond.

Sam, wherever you are, know that I will carry your love and friendship with me always. Until we meet again, I love you, my best friend. Rest in peace.
