    Sam truly was my brother from another mother. We were instant friends and made some good memories. I love you, bro, and I’ll see you again one day.

    Sam truly was a great friend. My fondest memory is his kind heart. He was always willing to help whether you thought you needed it or not. We had many long conversations about work, but I will mostly remember the conversations about the daily happenings of Capn (Austin). Always kept me in stitches. We will meet again my Brotha, until then hold down the fort!!

    Sam and his brother Clay as teens would go to my Mom’s house with their uncle Butch? And cut the grass. All they asked for in payment was a meal. Mom would ask what they wanted to eat and she would cook it. They were great kids. Rest In Peace Sam. You will be missed. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻And ❤️❤️❤️
