Sam was madly in love with his wife Katie and an adoring father to his children, Sammy and Quinn. Sam was loved by many, whether it was childhood friends, people he met at the family’s Ashton Farm, or volleyball team mates. Sam loved God, and spent time at Port City Church serving others through children’s ministry and adult care groups. Sam will be greatly missed, but those who love the Lord can be assured that we will be reunited with him again.
