Samuel S. Krikorian was born in Bogota, Colombia on March 15, 1976. He died on February 27, 2017. Sam lived life to the fullest and was always ready with a joke or groan-worthy pun. He never forgot a friend, no matter how many years passed between meetings, and was a beloved “uncle” to the children of several of his friends. A Celebration of Life service will be held at Church At Charlotte (2500 Carmel Rd., Charlotte, NC) on Tuesday, March 7, 2017. The family will be available to greet Sam’s friends from 2 to 3 pm and services will begin at 3 pm with a reception to follow. Sam is survived by his mother, Marge Krikorian; two sisters, Kathy Krikorian (John McLaughlin) and Karen Krikorian; as well as two nieces, Annika and Madelin; and one nephew, J.J.
