He spent his entire time working at Toyato in Huntsville and had times with his wife and daughters to take them to places to have fun on afternoons and the weekends, somewhat, he loved to spend his times with his deaf daughter Angelica which just looks like him.

Sammy was a member of the Army National Guard for six years,

a gun collector with his own shooting range, and a collector of NASCAR memorabilia.

He was a praise and worship musician, and had attended Ryland Worship Center in Huntsville. Sammy was the most wonderful father and grandfather, he loved his family, and they in turn loved him.

He has a cancer in his spine bone and had caused him to be weak and unable to walk or eat well food so his wife and his daughter Angelica have supported him all of their life until he gets healthy. The doctor said he would only have six years left at the last time when he went to see his doctor a long ago, but he fought it off and lived up to 2007 by having a stroke and died at his wife and daughter's house in Gurley, Alabama in the living room on the hospital bed by the couch on the scene,

the amublance has took him and his grave was buried at Simoce Baptist Church in Fairview.
