Sam loved fishing with his grandpa, trap shooting and spending time at his grandpa’s farm. He also had a love for motorcycles and art. One of his greatest joys was his daughter Lily. Together they enjoyed going out for tacos, coloring and drawing, and going to the park on nice days. During the winter they visited Chuck E. Cheese a few times.

Sam is survived by daughters, Mia, Thea, and Lily; parents Sam (Kathy) DeAngelo; step-father, Ron Rouse; siblings; Kim (Jason) Kono, and Mario (Diane) DeAngelo; step-grandmother, Rosemary Dornbier; many nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews, aunts, uncles and loving family members; and significant other, Stephanie Barker.
