He was born on December 9, 1960 in Charlotte, NC to the late Samuel Robert Grier, Sr. and Patt Smith.
Sam worked as a Manager of IT Services with the corporate Family Dollar office. He was an avid blogger and loved to soak up as much knowledge as possible. He loved the outdoors, camping, fishing and spending time with family. He held many certifications in technology in which he was self-taught.
Sam was a jack-of-all-trades; he’d do anything from cook to build decks with his bare hands. His two self-appointed purposes in life were to love without end and to help others in any way possible.
He is survived by his wife, of 37 years, Lisa Grier; son, Will Grier; sisters, Cathy Jones and Patti Elaine Cardinal; nieces, Sallie Le, Heather Wilson, Olivia Palecpec and Jamie Contreras; nephews, Chris Williams, Justin Jones, and Shane Bruce.
In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his sister, Debbie Grier.
