Sam Strauch Eggers tragically took his own life the morning of February 15, 2022 at the age of 26. Originally from Seattle, Sam attended Lehigh University and lived in San Francisco at the time of his passing.
Sam was beloved: compassionate, sensitive, kind, and mischievous. He devoted himself to living with integrity and authenticity. He is survived by his parents, Mitch Eggers and Lisa Strauch Eggers, and his two brothers, Lucas and Ben Eggers. Words cannot express their pain.
Sam’s surviving family members encourage everyone to have frank conversations with their loved ones about mental health and suicide. Anyone can become unmoored by workplace abuse, lack of a sense of safety in their community, chronic pain from injury, and other loss of personal identity.
Sam’s funeral service will take place at the Butterworth Chapel at Hills of Eternity Cemetery, 520 W. Raye St. in Seattle at 1 PM on Sunday, February 20. Those who wish to honor his memory may donate to Mental Health America.
