Samuel would want to be remembered as "Sam Tha Wize, The Neutral Guy!" A great man who grew to have a bond with God. A great father who cared for everyone he loved. Kind hearted who uplifted anyone in need of a dose of goofiness & sarcasm. Samuel was very intelligent. When the doctors gave him details from his appointments he would absorb the information & do his research on it all. Samuel was definitely one who would speak his mind telling it like it is & never sugar coating anything. Samuel is survived by his Family including his Parents, his children, siblings, Uncles, Aunt, cousins & lots of nieces & nephews.
Graveside services will be held Thursday, February 8th 2024 at 12:30 p.m. at Calvary Cemetery, 260 W Childs Ave, Merced CA 95341.
