Samuel "Sam" Gordon Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on May 12, 2017.

Samuel Dewayne Gordon, who was best known for his curly hair and infectious smile died unexpectedly on May 9, 2017 at the age of 31. A service to celebrate his life will be held at 1 PM, Monday, May 15, 2017 in the Lineberry Center at 515 N. Elm Street. The family will receive guests during a reception at the funeral home from 11 AM to 1 PM prior to the service. The family will receive friends at other times at the residence of Brittney and Dylan Parker, 1617 N. Holden Road, Greensboro, NC 27408.

Sam was a caring and dedicated son, a protective and loving brother, and an outgoing friend. He received his Associate's degree in Automotive Systems Technology and was a hardworking and dedicated professional in his field. Sam loved being outdoors and was an avid fisherman. He was non-judgmental of others and that, combined with an easy going, laid back style, is why he was loved by so many people. Relationships were very important to him and he had a wealth of riches in family and friends who will miss him and cherish his memory.

His family is grateful that God blessed their lives with Sam. He is survived by his parents, Teresa W. Gordon of Asheboro and Ernest Lynn Gordon and wife Sarah of Ingleside, IL; siblings, Joshua Gordon (Laura) and Brittney Gordon Parker (Dylan) both of Greensboro; step-sister, Amber Rappe of Illinois; paternal grandparents, Jean Gordon and Jay Bush; four nieces; four nephews; as well as several aunts, uncles and extended family. Sam is preceded in death by his maternal grandparents.

In lieu of flowers the family requests that donations in Sam's memory be directed to Mental Health Assc., 301 E. Washington Street, Suite 111, Greensboro, N.C. 27401. Online condolences may be made at www.hanes-lineberryfuneralservice.com. Hanes-Lineberry N. Elm chapel is assisting Sam's family.

There are no words to describe the sadness of Sams passing.He was such a fun loving,thoughtful guy. He always made us laugh. I had the pleasure of teaching him how to sew, he was my spades partner. I am so thankful that we were able to have our paths cross and be part of Sams life. You will never know how much you were loved by so many people. He loved his family so much. Rest in peace Sambo.

Words cannot express the pain and the loss that I feel in the passing of Sam. We knew him for eight years of his life. I loved him as I love my own children. He always greeted me with a kiss on the cheek. Sam was respectful, kind and caring toward me and my family. His smile was contagious. His hair was adorable. We miss you!

My prayer for you: God our creator, your Holy Spirit prays for us even when we do not know how to pray. Send your spirit to comfort us in our need and loss. Help us to commend Sam to your merciful care through Jesus Christ our Lord. Peace be with you my son. Love Bernie Michael and Dale Sartin

You are missed by so many people, Sam. Im still in disbelief, my eyes filled with tears. Your sweet smile & hugs will forever remain in my memory, along with all those times we picked and cut up the last 14 years. Such an awesome guy, gone entirely too soon. Previous engagements with DJ at school will keep me from coming to your service to say goodbye, but know that I am there in heart! You'd want me to be with her & keep my promise, I know. Rest easy my friend. Love & prayers to your family.

My heart felt condolences to Sam's Family. Sam was like a son to me. He always treated me and my family with kindness and respect. We are saddened deeply by his passing. May God grant him peace for eternity.

Love,
