I miss my little brother dearly, he was more than just a sibling, he was one of my best friends and a part of me is gone with him. Sam enjoyed being outdoors, camping, hiking, working out, cooking, and music. We had so many things in common.
We had so many great memories together. He was always positive and made things better when he was around.
To my children and grandchildren, he was a great role model. He gave them advice and they always laughed at his jokes. They really loved his cooking, especially those cheese fries!
He was so happy when he retired and was finally home for good. He was working on various home improvement projects and getting his house ready so that we can celebrate family reunions, birthday parties, holidays, BBQs, etc. He often said that he missed so much while he was away, and he just wanted to spend time with family and friends.
To his wife and children, he was a rock, strong and stable. He was a great husband and father.
To his friends, he was truly an angel, always willing to lend a hand, give advice, lend tools, cook, or whatever they needed.
Rest in peace my little brother, I love you always and forever.
