Sammy Lynn Callaway was born June 22, 1943 in Houston Texas to Linza and Leatrice Callaway. Sammy inherited his love for travel from his dad, who would take his family on impromptu trips. Sammy was taught at an early age to work hard and he did. This showed in the care he gave his family, the work he did in and on numerous churches and the building of his dream home with his family. Sammy was an amazing father; he became involved with boy scouts, building model airplanes, camping trips, gardening, playing games and many other outdoor activities. He is the father to a blended family – yours, mine and ours. Sammy dedicated his life to serving the Lord in the early 1980’s. He was an example of what a true friend, husband, father and brother is. Sammy’s journey ended on June 16, 2017 in his home surrounded by his family.
