June 15, 2024 at 6:53 pmUncle Sam was always one of my favorites! Always with a huge smile on his face and would wrap his arms around me and give a big kiss, any time we saw him, at grandmas at the family reunions, at his house for a visit, at his baptism or whatever it was. My roommates and I would always go down to he and Aunt Chris’s house and sit in their hot tub. They’d leave the back door open for us. They made it nice for us, so we could go in and change when we were done. I remember when mom called and told me that he had started going back to church and was getting ready for his baptism. I was so excited for Uncle Sam! He is just an amazing human and will truly be missed in every way. Rest well Uncle Sam, you are now free from the awful cancer. I love you. Your niece, Ashlee (Johnson) Olsen ♥️ 💐

June 19, 2024 at 8:36 pmDear Chris, family and friends,
My deepest sympathy and condolences to all who knew and Loved Sam. I’m so heartbroken to learn of Sam’s passing. Sam has always had a special place in my heart, he was always the funniest, kindest, sweetest man. Always smiling and genuine towards others. It was always a joy to get to see him when I would be at my dad’s (Merlin) and often looked fwd to that. It’s true that the great ones go first. I’m glad he’s no longer suffering with illness, sad for the rest. I apologize that I won’t be able to be there this weekend, but want you all to know you’re in my heart and thoughts during this difficult time. Much love!
Fly high Sam. Say hi to my Dad for me.
