Obituary
MADISON - Our son, Samuel Alfred "Sam" Meier died on Thursday, July 30, 2020, from a drug overdose. He was a bright, curious, and independent soul. Never following the conventional path, Sam still accomplished some lofty goals, including a master’s degree from UW-Madison.
He was a son, father and brother and will be missed by the people he left behind. Among them are his parents, Larry Singer and Nan Meier-Singer; sister, Jessica Clabaugh; former wife, Jessie McGowan; many aunts, uncles and cousins; as well as his special friend, Jodi Wilson.
Private services will be held.
Addiction is a horrible affliction. It can rob you of family, friends, and your soul. We hope that Sam has now found peace. Online condolences may be made at www.gundersonfh.com.

my deepest condolences to Nan, Larry and Jess, as well as those who collected him along the way. He and I had so many childhood memories that I’ll never forget. Attached is a picture of one. He was my best friend until our paths diverged and while I’m grateful I had him in my life for that time, his true gift to me was in showing me how hard things can get for people who struggle with mental health. I’m a therapist working with adolescents and I think I can attribute at least a few of the kids I’ve pulled through the trials of that time in their lives to Sam’s influence on my life. He never was at rest. Maybe now he can.
