About The Organization

On August 8, 2019, we received that phone call that no parent wants to receive. My wife and I were notified that our youngest son, Sam, had been shot and killed. The days following this horrible event, brought about a tremendous amount of heartache, grief, anger and confusion for my entire family.

As a father, I felt it was my responsibility to protect my children. The loss of Sam left me feeling like I had failed my child. I realized I had two choices; I could sit at home and be angry, or I could mobilize and do something to honor Sam. Out of this The Sam Stitt Foundation Inc. was formed.
