I miss you tons brother!  I’m writing this 2 years later because it’s been hard to accept that you’re gone!  You were larger than life!  You loved the outdoors and we had a blast exploring it together!  I miss your laughter and love!  I hope to see you again, my friend!

Praying for the family & friends. Chris has always been supportive & helpful, even after handling my case. Definitely helped anyone else I referred. 🙏🏽 Another Angel gained.

I am so saddened by this loss. He was our attorney in the summer of 2021. He helped us defend our need to relocate to Utah. Idk what we will do without him. Rest in peace 

Chris was my attorney. Words can't express how eternally grateful I am for the work he did while representing me. 

Mr Samuelson was an amazing person. He really showed how much he cares about others. He was my lawyer on my case a few years ago, and even after it was completed, he always made himself available to answer questions. He was very willing to help whenever or however he could. I couldn't have gone through the process with any better person. Though he was my lawyer, I felt I could talk to him as a friend, and I truly felt his full sympathy and dedication. Mr Samuelson had my full trust. He will be surely missed and my sincere condolences to his family. 

Dear Samuelson family,  we are so sorry for your loss.  We had such respect for Chris as a Lawyer, Father, husband and friend.  We know no words can express the sympathy we have for all of you.  You will be in our prayers.  Sincerely the LaJoie family

Chris was a  solid person and great friend.   All of us in the Texas Legal Community loved Chris.   Chris was the master of calm in the court room.  No matter how tough the facts; Chris marched on without breaking a sweat.  

You will be missed my friend.

Chris and I graduated from South Texas College of Law together in 1997.  We were in the same class "section", so we all had that "been in the trenches" mentality with our section-mates.  We attended each other's weddings, and acknowledged the births of each of our children over the years.  Chris hooked me up with my very first legal internship while we were still in law school, as he knew that I was interested in family law.  We shared office space for several years, and even co-counseled a couple cases together where criminal defense law and family law intersected - which it frequently does.

The biggest, most important thing that I can say about Chris is that he LOVED LOVED LOVED each of his three sons.  I hope that they continue to find comfort in  his love, and will always remember how proud he was of each of them.  I got to hear about their lives over the years, and just about everything that any of the three boys did just made Chris beam with pride.  

Chris will be missed so much by his family, his friends, his colleagues, and his clients.  He left a beautiful mark on this Earth, and I just pray that, in time, the good and happy memories that everyone has of Chris will take over and push away the sadness and grief that we all feel.

Hugs, and prayers to Melanie, Spencer, Preston, and Addison.

I'm sure many of us are feeling an enormous hole in our hearts after the passing or Mr. Samuelson. I extend my condolences out to his friends, family, and clients. 

My sincerest condolences for you and the boys. Chris was an honorable, caring person, friend and professional. Chris was a blessing to my family. May Chris celebrate his new founding in Christ in Heaven with our Heavenly Father. God wrap you in love, give peace, comfort, courage. You and Chris will always be apart of your family and in our thoughts and prayers. Love in Christ

Please accept our condolence.  Our prayers are with his family. 

The Smith’s. Jeffrey, Rebecca, Lucas and Colton. 

Chris is a pillar of strength, an advocate for right and a devoted human. May his memory be for a blessing. 

My sympathy and prayers are with you Melanie and your beautiful children,  I pray, too, that Chris may find rest with Our Lord.  May God give you all the grace of strength, comfort and peace in the days ahead.   

Much love and a tight hug,

Roslyn Accomando
