Samuel  (you always loved when I called you that)…
It’s hard to believe that it’s  (5) years since you left. I always have in my heart our last conversation a day before you passed. Your promise to always love and watch over me your sons and grandchildren even after your departure.  We will always remember and miss you….

Always your wife…Silva

Samuel…Your sons, grandchildren and myself still talk and celebrate you. Ava was just saying how much she still missed you and how she remembers  you.  Rafael your youngest son still enjoys using your ‘Samisims’. His favorite “ let me bonder  on it”.   We your family always knew whr your heart was and you demonstrated it over and over again for 20 plus years. I will always remember and hold in my heart the last conversation we had before you passed, of your love for us…even after death.   

Your wife Silvia, sons Carlo and Rafael, grandchildren,  Ava, Emma and Greyson 

I met Sam when he played teenage Baseball. He was an outstanding Baseball player and. Football player. I saw Sammy as a very aggressive athelic, he was on top of his game on either sport he participated. Well mannered among his elders. Sam , I know your children were proud of calling their Father, because you left them a great legacy to emulate. Rest in Peace my friend.

Samuel, You whr father to our two sons Carlo and Rafael and grandfather to our three grandchildren Ava, Emma and Greyson.  We have always known where your heart and love lies and we, your family thank you for this.  Your presence is and will continue to be with us. Time nor circumstances changes that.... 
Silvia, Carlo, Rafael, Ava, Emma and Greyson🛐

Hey Cuz,
As I sit here reading all the beautiful messages people have written, it just reaffirms how REAL you were. You were the same with everyone! Always fun, enjoyed a good laugh, kind-hearted, smiling, considerate, caring, and strong. You were my only same-age cousin. And even though I really wanted a girl same-age cousin, I wouldn’t trade our relationship for anything! We had that special bond! I was forever grateful that you always included me in with ‘the boys’! You were always so sweet and caring with me!! I am so sad that I don’t have more time with you here, but I’m so grateful for the time we had and for the fact that you are out of pain and now rejoicing with your parents and Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Maria and Saul and all your family that has gone before you. I will forever miss you until I see you again! I love you cuz!! ❤️

Sam we met in the third grade on the football field. You, Roy Castro and Brian Schiller would stay over at my house on Friday nights. Then get up and play on Saturday morning and knock some heads. Those are some of the best memories of my life. At  your memorial I listened to so many people say so many good things about you which makes me even more proud to be your friend.  You have been making Sam-isms since we were young and never changed who you were. I love ya bro and you will be sorely missed.

I am so sad to see this news. I have precious memories of a boy scrambling and giving his all to a Little League baseball team. He obviously grew up to be a good man and shared his goodness with others. Blessings to all the family. 

It seems like yesterday we were  playing baseball at northern little league and stomping all the dirt out of Brentwood park. Great memories with the entire Sosa family wonderful people. Love each one of you God bless you with peace and comfort.     Kenny

Great Team Captain, Loyal, Honest, and a true friend.
I will never forget the times on and off the field.
You will be Greatly missed, Love you brother RIP!

Sammy ~ I remember your constant laughing and smiling face. The strength you had in all things you set out to do and accomplish.  May you forever be pain free,  in the love and the light of the Lord. May Our Father bless and comfort your entire family and your friends.  

That smile, that amazing smile. Those incredible abilities.  It was impossible not to love Sam. He was always so kind and warm and funny, and he truly knew how to be a great friend. I was blessed to know him, and though we hadn't talked in years, I feel the loss of him so deeply today. All my love and prayers to Sam's family and to all of his friends, far too many to count. Rest well, Sammy. Thanks for everything.

To sit here writing this feels surreal, I never imagined what it would feel like to have to say goodbye. It’s a strange yet comforting thought to know that I was lucky enough to have something worth making goodbye this hard. You weren’t just an uncle you were a friend, a confidant, someone that no matter the situation you knew what to say even if it meant saying nothing at all. I will miss the way you would throw your head back laughing at almost anything, the way you enjoyed life and your hopeless optimism especially when it came to your Raiders. 
You will be greatly missed, I grieve not only for myself but for my beautiful little girls who won’t have the chance to know and love you the way I did. I only hope I can share with them all the amazing things you taught me. Missing you will be forever and it will always be hard because 
grief never ends, but it does change.
It’s a passage way, but not a place to stay. There will be days that are easier but that won’t mean I have forgotten because grief is not a sign of weakness, or a lack of faith. It is  simply the price we pay for loving and being loved. 
Love your niece,
Samantha 

Sam, I will truly miss you 
It was great growing up with you and all the fun and crazy memories. 
As I hear people talk about you the things I hear the most are:
- He had such a caring heart
- He was always smiling
- And that beautiful contagious laugh
They are all true.  Love you and miss you Cuz

My baby brother Sam
You truly are one of the good ones and I will miss you always. My heart is at peace knowing you are with the lord and no longer in pain. I will miss are football talks and I will forever keep you in my heart. 
You sister
Karen

My sweet cousin, Sam. I am thankful for all the fun memories we shared growing up. You had such a wonderful, caring heart and you were truly blessed to be loved by so many. You will be missed but I know you are in the presence of our Lord and home with your mom and dad. I love you cuz. ❤️

Uncle Sam we’ve always been pretty close I love and miss you so much. You had just helped me move into my new house, met my girlfriend, and seeing you was awesome. I know you’re in a better place, you are no longer in pain, and I just pray for peace for the entire family. You loved disc golf so much, I remember when we went and played at Brentwood park I was about 15. Then we went to stripes and got ice cream and drove past your childhood home on Juanita St. I will love and forever cherish those moments. -Your Nephew Josh

My dearly beloved brother.  You are at PEACE now free from pain, free from worries, free from suffering. Fly high like a FREE BIRD baby brother, keep on rocking out to Lynyrd  Skynyrd. I love you forever and will always treasure our time together. ❤
All I can do is write it in a song- 

I had the privilege to meet Mr. Sosa just this past year.  His infectious smile was the first thing you noticed, and he certainly brightened up a room just with his presence.  

The thing that stood out over all else though was the obvious deep love Sam and Michelle felt for each other.  He just beamed as he introduced his soul mate, and would tell anyone who would listen that he finally found true love.  It was evident that Michelle felt the same way about him. 

Michelle, my heart breaks for you. I hope you can take some comfort in knowing how much you truly meant to him. You two deserved more time together. I know you will forever hold those precious memories in your heart.

Sam was one of the first people I met in Austin, back in 2008. He introduced me to Joe Chavez and encouraged me to become a Juvenile Probation Officer.  I used to tell him, “this career is your fault!” Thank you, Sam!  To his family and specially, Michelle, may God grant you serenity during this trying times. 

Sam the Man...... you will be missed not only by me & my husband but my son also.  I will never forget your passion for the Raiders. May you Rest In Peace & know you will never be forgotten. I can hear your contagious laugh & see your big smile. Thank you for everything you did for Travis County.  The Pantojas

Sam has brought so many people joy. It’s sad to see that he is gone. He lives in our thoughts and wonderful memories of him. We will always remember him. The man, the myth, the legend. Rest In Peace brother.

Michelle, I am here for you. I pray that your heart is healed and your head is lifted. Love you my friend! I think Sam for bringing you into my life.

  Absence is difficult , your playful personality, gift for organization and love of the game, will be missed.


It is never easy to lose a loved one. My desire is that you find consolation in the promise of God found in Revelation 21: 3-4 that says that soon, "He, will cleanse all tears from our eyes, and death will no longer be, nor will there be more mourning or outcry or pain."   We will see all of our loved ones when they are resurrected in a beautiful paradise here on earth, my deepest sympathy to the family.

Always enjoyed a friendly round of disc golf with Sam and others where he felt most comfortable being in his natural element and comfort zone, especially with his no-shop talk policy as the played. 
I will truly miss his laughter and coolness despite his "highly competitive" nature he possessed. 

It saddens me to know we lost one of our dearest family members. Seems like every time you saw Sam, he was always smiling. Going to miss you cuz. Rest in Peace.

To Michelle Aguirre, 

Erin and I will always remember the time you guys came to our house to celebrate Erin's big 5-0 birthday. We really enjoyed the time we got to spend with you and Sam. Our hearts go out to you at this time and we are so sorry for your loss. We are here for whatever you need.

Sincerely,

Erin and Rebecca Hampford
