Sam had a very close circle of friends in Calgary and they were family to him.
Sam made an impact on everyone he met, as he shared his faith in Jesus boldly and took the time to mentor family and friends in faith and encourage us to go deeper in God’s word.
Sam had an infectious laugh, was big-hearted and loved trying new cuisines and was a terrific chef.
Life was not dull when Sam was your friend!
He was quick to help those in need and never judged anyone or held any offence, he always looked for the best in people around him.
Sam always talked of seeing Jesus and when He was coming back.
So now that he is with Jesus, he would want everyone to know that God so loved the world, that he gave us His only Son Jesus, that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16).
The funeral service will take place in Castor, Alta. on Aug. 12 at 1:30 p.m. at the Evangelical Missionary Church.
