Samuel Hernandez Escobedo, a cherished husband, father, grandfather, and friend, passed away peacefully on September 16, 2024, in his hometown of San Antonio, TX, at the age of 45. Born on November 23, 1978, also in San Antonio, he was a lifelong resident who brought joy and laughter to everyone he encountered.

Samuel's presence was a source of constant warmth and happiness. His children, Samantha, Savanna, and Zachary Escobedo, were the pride of his life, and he embraced every moment spent with them. His joy only multiplied with the birth of his granddaughter, Cora Almenza, whom he adored beyond measure.

Although he is now reunited with his late parents, brothers, sister, and nephew, Samuel's legacy of kindness and humor lives on through his family and the many lives he touched.

Samuel was an ardent fan of the San Antonio Spurs, and he could often be found cheering on his favorite team with as much passion as any player on the court.

Halloween was a particularly special time for Samuel; he never missed an opportunity to dress up and enjoy the festivities with his children. The sparkle in his eye and the creativity of his costumes will be fondly remembered by all who were lucky enough to experience them.

His enthusiasm for life extended to the Fourth of July, where Samuel's love for fireworks embodied his vibrant spirit. He was the heart of these celebrations, creating dazzling displays that brought his family and friends together in awe and excitement.

Samuel also shared a special bond with his son, Zachary, through their shared passion for online gaming. The virtual worlds they explored together allowed them to forge unforgettable memories and a friendship that transcended the father-son relationship.

Those who knew Samuel understood that his heart was always open. He was a confidant and a source of support, offering a friendly ear and a shoulder to lean on whenever needed. His sense of humor was a gift that he generously shared, ensuring that laughter was a constant in the lives of those around him.
