Sam
Samuel was responding to a call for assistance at an auto accident on a local highway, when his vehicle was struck by a tractor-trailer. He passed away at the scene due to the impact of the crash. 

Local officials describe Sam as an all-around guy who wanted nothing more than to serve his community. They stated that he will be greatly missed. 

Sam is survived by many loving friends and family members.

Pray for all who die while coming to the aid of others.

Let us pray to God the Father, Jesus, all of the saints and all of the angels that Samuel Butler is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen
