Samuel Munoz Jr.

Sammy was born in Fort Riley, Kansas on March 19, 1965 to his proud parents, Samuel and Delia Munoz. Soon after they would move to Glendale, Arizona where he grew up. He is survived by his siblings Marina (sp. Eli Tenner), Jaime (sp. Alexis Munoz), and Corina (sp. Justin Griffin). His nephews Dario Munoz, Jacob Munoz, and Cruz Munoz. His nieces Sarah Watson, Jessica Weston, Alanna Griffin, Anna Griffin, Sophia Griffin, Mia Munoz, and Gianna Munoz. Along with his many great nephews and nieces.

Sammy was known as the “funcle”, the fun and awesome uncle that knew how to have fun and would always provide a good time to his family. He would often take his family to Rocky Point where he traveled often and would show what the town was all about. Sammy also loved to hunt, fish, and camp. He loved food and would frequent his favorite restaurants, specifically for a good bowl of menudo or sushi.

Sammy was a proud member of the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 428 and spent over 30 years as an Heavy Equipment Oiler. He was a hard worker and knew how to get the job done. Sammy had a heart of gold and would gladly give the shirt off his back if he could. His heart was pure, intentions were good, and he had a lot of love to give. He touched people in ways that will be remembered for a lifetime.

Sammy, you will be missed by all.
