I'm sorry to hear of Sam's passing.  It's quite the shock.  I knew Sam many years ago. I met some of the family one time when I was in town.  He was a fun guy and will be missed greatly.  I've been gone for several years and im back in Wooster.  I'm sorry many thoughts and prayers. 

I'm so sorry for your families loss. I only met Sami one time. But he left a lasting impression. He was working at Big Lots several years back. I was looking for a particular Christmas decoration. He was determined he was going to find it for me. It was a light up gingerbread man. I remember thinking how helpful, kind and handsome he was.  Beautiful eyes that sparkled when he smiled. I will think of Sami everytime I get this decoration out. He was very busy with the Christmas rush, yet took the time to help me. He impressed me with just the one time meeting him. Sincerely

My heart goes out to the Ramirez family and all of his very dear friends. He was one of my team mates in pool league for many a year. He will be missed, but always remembered as a friend you could count on, and have a good laugh with. Until we meet again Sam, just keep practicing.

Brenda,
My sincere condolences to you on the passing away of your brother, Sam.  All of our siblings rode the bus together & went to Dowds.  May God comfort you with family & close friends.

My deepest condolences to the Ramirez family.

Praying for the comfort of the HOLY GHOST to surround the Ramirez and Rhodes families during this hard time  Many fond memories of Nate and Sue at Wayside Mission on Poth Road 

Sam you are truly missed! I will never forget the memories we shared together... the good and the bad. I am so blessed to have texted you and to have been able to get your reply. You paved the way for many of us here and you will never be forgotten. Fly High! 

Love 
Jasmyn

Sam was a kind, caring, generous man who always had a smile on his face. 
When you lose someone you love, your life is changed forever. Wishing you strength in the caring of friends and family…And hoping that time will gently soothe your sadness into peace. Peace, Prayers and Blessings during this difficult time.

So very sorry to hear of Sam's passing.  He was a good man and will be missed by all.

Rest in Peace, dear friend, although your time on this earth seems short, the difference you made in the lives of so very many people was your purpose,  your accomplishment. Not one person in the course of your life could be within sight of your smile, and not be compelled to smile themselves. You were loved, just as you loved, fully and completely, but now your time has come to bring your smile and your love home, to heaven. God has certainly received one of his greatest angels, his greatest creations back home again.Thoughts, prayers and condolences to the Ramirez Family.
We love you, and we will miss you very much, my friend ... until we meet again.

Sam was a good man and a good family friend and will be missed by many #samstrong

May the Lord God bless the Ramirez family. What a wonderful man he was. God gained another Angel..

Sam was a vital part of the Mansfield community. He created a safe space, Sami's Bar, for the LGBTQ+ community. I attended many dance nights, drag shows and celebrated Pride with friends and neighbors over drinks at Sami's. He welcomed my food truck to his parking lot whenever I asked, providing electric (not all venues offer this, or offer for free) always ushering people toward the truck to get food.  I have heard from friends and family the incredibly generous and impactful life that Sam led. Thank you Sam, your legacy lives on in the hearts of all of us who knew you. Sending much love to his friends and family.

I've known Sam for nearly 40 years.  He's always been a good friend to me. Since the death of my husband, I haven't had alot of people I could trust Sam with anything I had to say.  He was my go-to guy for Pool League. The world is a little darker now that Sam's bright smile is gone.  I will miss you, my friend.  Sam's family and loved ones are in my prayers. God protect you and give you peace.

We are so very sorry for your loss , keeping you all in prayer for peace

RIP my friend! My prayers and condolences to the family. Such a tragedy.

I only met him briefly but I know how well loved he was. Prayers for his family and friends. May he rest in peace

sorry for ur loss . prayers go out to the family. He was a great friend

Rest In Peace Sammi! Until we see you again, fly high

Sami will forever be in my heart and on my mind. One of the kindest, most warm-hearted individuals I have had the pleasure of meeting and being friends with. He was and will continue to be a huge inspiration to many. You did all you could, baby. You stayed strong and fought til there wasn't any choice left. You don't have to suffer anymore, just make sure you keep watch on us all down here until we are able to meet again, someday. Be Free, Baby. You've earned the peace and happiness. 

Sam. Had a big heart . I'm from his big lot family . he had a lot of people just loved him . Sami fought as hard as he could . rip sweetheart

Heartfelt sympathy to the family. He is with his cousin Nate Jr now laughing, playing pool, and sharing memories. Sam always had a smile and was hungry when he was at my house. I sent him leftovers and we all shared some good visits. Good memories will sustain you, time will heal the immense loss you feel right now. May the Good Lord keep you in His care.

He touched the lives of many.

May the Master of us all undergird and bless his family as they adjust their lives to their great loss.

Rest In Peace.

Prayers for your family. Sami it was a real pleasure to know you. You will be greatly missed!!!! Rest in heaven until we meet again.

I've known you for about 40 years and you've always been a beautiful person, you are missed very much.  for your family 

My cousin Sam was the first person to give me a job at B.K. where he was a manager. I also watched him play many of pool tournaments throughout the years. A very private and difficult time in my life, Sam was there. He showed up without me asking he was kind and supportive. He was a genuine and good hearted person and I know he’s resting in the arms of the Lord.

My condolences to the family my grandson Trayon Williams said he was a great guy and he is deeply saddened by his passing. Praying that God will bless and strengthen the family that remain

Such a loss, Sam was the best. My condolences to his family.

We are so very very sorry for your loss we love y’all and sending prayers!!!

We met, because of our love for giving to others and thanks to Mark! You worked at the Back Room then, it feels like yesterday! I'm saddened that you're gone. Mansfield and the world will never be the same! Love sent to your family and all who knew YOU!
