He was born in Dallas, on November 6th, 2012, and currently attended first grade at Lakewood Elementary. Sam enjoyed playing with dinosaurs, Legos and anything with a sword and was always found eating strawberries, salami and in his final days all the chocolate pudding he could find. Sam always had a love of music, keeping the beat to any song and creating a song for any moment. He had a courageous soul that met his every obstacle with wisdom, bravery and humor and a kind heart that loved deeply.
Sam is loved by so many around this world and was cared for lovingly by the oncology team at Medical City Children’s Hospital and by Dr. Matt Fletcher, dear friend and consult.
He is survived by his parents, Maude and Tony Pampel, siblings Emmie and Ben Pampel, grandparents, Courtney and Allen Westerman, Terry and Nancy Pampel and loving aunts, uncles and cousins.
Celebration of life will be held February 1, 2020, at 10:00 am at the Church of the Incarnation, 3966 McKinney Ave., Dallas, TX 75204; reception to follow.
In lieu of flowers please consider donations to these local foundations who provided wonderful memories for Sam while he received treatment in Dallas and New York.
