During his military service, he served in Germany as a Radio Telegraph Operator and earned the rank of Sergeant (E-5). Samuel carried the discipline, strength, and work ethic he developed during his military years throughout the rest of his life.

Following his military service, Samuel became known for his determination, entrepreneurial spirit, and unwavering commitment to his family. In the 1980s, he founded Quick Courier Service, which later became QC Transportation, Inc. in 2007, and eventually Sam’s QC Transportation around 2014.

On January 7, 1983, Samuel united in marriage with Cheryl Davis, and together they built a life centered on faith, love, and family. Though he was not a man of many words, his actions spoke volumes. Samuel had an exterior that could seem tough, but behind it was one of the biggest and most forgiving hearts anyone could encounter. His quiet strength, wisdom, steadfast presence, and willingness to help others left a lasting impression on everyone blessed to know him.

Samuel enjoyed traveling and looked forward to his summer road trips each year.
