Samuel knew Christ and accepted Him at an early age. Through his trials and tribulations he grew a closer relationship with Christ. Affectionately known as Sam he loved his children deeply and they loved him too! He had a special place in his heart for his grandson, Aiden.

Whenever they would say “hey Samuel L. Jackson”, he would reply “and what's in your wallet?”

He loved family get-togethers, good seasoned fried chicken wings, riding motorcycles, going to boxing matches and watching Raven’s football games. Lamar Jackson was his favorite player.
