sam i am: May 2011

about sam

Samuel Geddert was a kid who loved life and lived it well for almost every moment of his 13+ years with us. We think that he figured out long before the rest of us that life is short, so we might as well live it to the max!

Sammy lived with many challenges and took them in stride as they came. He earned his nick-name “sam i am” in the NICU at Winnipeg’s Children’s Hospital, where he sailed through some of the most complex heart surgeries ever performed at that centre. From that first (of many) heart surgeries and early months in the NICU, to later surgeries to address problems with his speech, and finally challenges with academic learning and physical stamina at school…Sam’s persistence and generous spirit in overcoming his obstacles affected all those who surrounded and cared for him. For all his struggles, one thing Sammy absolutely excelled in was making friends and enjoying his family. He was the easiest guy to have around: happy just to hang out, and always willing to do something fun again - preferable “tomorrow”! His last night with us was spent having crazy fun with his best buddies from Youth Group.

Sammy died unexpectedly on the morning of Feb 19, 2005. His memory and impact on his tribe live on.
