The world became a little dimmer on June 25, 2025, as Samantha Elysia Azzopardi—affectionately known as Sam—passed away, leaving behind a family and community who adored her. She was just 34 years old.
A devoted mother of four and the heart of her home, Samantha’s love ran deep. Her presence was a calming force, her laugh infectious, and her soul quietly radiant. To those who knew her, she was grace and strength wrapped in a gentle spirit. And to her husband, Kevin Wilson, she was everything.
“Last night, I had to say goodbye to the love of my life,” Kevin shared in a heartbreaking tribute. “She was and is everything to me, along with our kids. We had so many plans for our future, and I am so lost without her.”
Samantha was a woman of remarkable intelligence and quiet power—someone who always sought the light in people and brought it out in them. She was the type of person who could walk into a room and make it feel like home. She didn’t need to say much to be felt deeply.
Above all, Sam was a mother first. Her four children were the center of her universe. She poured herself into every moment with them—every bedtime story, every scraped knee, every dance in the kitchen. She nurtured their imaginations, held space for their dreams, and filled their lives with love that will continue to shape them for years to come. Two of her children are still too young to fully grasp this loss, but her essence will live on in them—etched into their hearts through the stories, memories, and love that will surround them.
She also leaves behind an extended family of loved ones who adored her: parents who cherished her, siblings who looked up to her, cousins who confided in her, and friends who felt her absence like the loss of a limb. The ripple effect of her love is immeasurable.
In the words of Kevin:
“She was the most peaceful and beautiful person—mind and soul. The strongest and most intelligent woman I’ve ever met. I was robbed of every opportunity to make new memories with her.”
While the family appreciates the outpouring of love and support during this devastating time, they are asking for space to grieve and to begin the journey of healing. There will be a time to gather and celebrate Sam’s extraordinary life, and when that time comes, it will be filled with stories, tears, and the overwhelming warmth she gave to all who knew her.
For now, her family holds tightly to her memory—the way her eyes lit up when she laughed, the way she made people feel safe, and the profound love that defined her life.
Rest in peace, Samantha.
You are missed beyond measure.
You are loved beyond words.
