“Samaad was no celebrity, but in silence he touched many lives young and old. He was special. He made his dash, his legacy about inspiring, motivating and loving others. His presence, his hugs, His entire life was about LOVE, the LOVE he showed everyone who came into contact with him and the LOVE we all share with each other in his death.”
-Kim Banks, President OFOF & Mother of Samaad Z Frazier
