Sam was preceded in death by his parents, and by his siblings, George Fields and Vivian Cottroll Atkins.

We love and miss you Uncle Sam. Prayers for all the family during this time. Love Johnny, Mass and children.
I am so blessed to have known Sam for years I worked with him. He was always a pleasure to be around we laughed a lot and his joke was always how good he looked at 111 years old! He was a wonderful friend to have in life. We lost touch after the years of working together but the world is now missing a wonderful soul. I know he’s in heaven making everyone laugh and smile. You will be missed Sam. Until we meet again. Debbie
Sam was a wonderful neighbor and friend; May he Rest In Peace ✝️
