He dedicated himself to his career as a commercial driver, always committed to providing for his family. A lifelong fan of football and basketball and one who enjoyed old western movies, a cherished pastime he shared with his father, was one of the many ways he created lasting memories with those he loved.

Samuel will be deeply missed but remembered with love and gratitude for the life he lived, his charismatic and friendly nature and the joy he brought to those around him.
