I was in the military with Sam. He was the moral compass for our platoon. An incredible man and true warrior. I am a better man for having known him. Godspeed brother

Sam was truly a good soul. We need more people with his kindness and willingness to give his all. Thank you Sam

Sam was someone I considered a true friend. We worked together at the NCA power plant in Las Vegas, but he was much more than a co-worker, he was a true friend. He will be missed out at the plant and I for one am glad to have called him my friend for the last seven years.

Mama Terry, I'm so sorry for your loss. It's been a long time since I've seen Sam, but he was a good man. Sending my love!

I worked for many years with Sam at the Carson facility in California we had a wonderful working relationship as well as being fellow believers in the Lord, we had many great times of fellowship at work and outside of work as we spent time on various projects together. I will miss my brother very much but also knowing soon we will all be together with our Lord.

I will never forget the warm handshakes when greeted at the door on Sunday morning church services.  The out stretched hand was a reflection of Samuel heart reaching the lives of others and taking the time to stop greet.  I am blessed by those moments and will seek to stretch my hand out to others..  Thank YOU LORD for the creation of your child Samuel and the Love he shared with so many.  We are BLESSED!

He will truly be missed by us all.  Miss his hugs as he would come through the door and left after church.

I didn't know Sam very well but I liked him. He had a good aura about him and I could tell that he was a kind and loving family man. His departure has left a void in all of those who knew and loved him. Justin and I will keep Terri and the rest of his family in our thoughts.

(contuned) .....we all wil lmiss him - and we look forward to seeing in Heaven. 
Love,  Uncle Denman (DH) & family

As his cousin, I got to know him growing up and playing together. He was kind, funny and fun to be around. It doesn't surprise me that he was a good husband and father. He will be missed but he is celebrating with Jesus now. My prayers go out to his entire family.

Fron the day Sam came into the Mapson family, I have been proud of him - for his kindbess and strong faith in God. We all will miss him very much - and we look foreward to seeing him in Heaven.  Love, Uncle Denman (DH) and family.

My condolences to Terry and the rest of the family. I had the pleasure of working with Sam at the NCA2 facility. We did not always understand each other, but he was always a good friend. Sam will be missed by many!

A good friend, a good man, and a caring person to all those who have had the honor of knowing Sam.

I miss you my brother, and friend......i know pops has you up there working on an addition or a sink or something at his mansion....and i know he was there to meet you with open arms.....til we see eachother again.....luv u
