Samuel L. Morse, 40, of Mead, Wash., and formerly of Twin Falls, Bellevue and Shoshone, Idaho, passed away at his home in Mead on Sept. 3, 2009.
Sam was born March 9, 1969, in Mountain Home, Idaho. He grew up in Hansen, starting school at Hansen Elementary and finishing at Hansen High School. Sam worked for several businesses in and around the Magic Valley for many years, giving them all the loyalty and dedication that lived inside of him.
Wherever Sam went, he made friends with ease, having a word and a laugh for everyone, young and old alike.
Sam is survived by his children, Sydney and Baxter Morse, who were always a twinkle in his eye and the light in his heart; his mom, Judy Morse, and step-dad, Mike Buel; sisters Shannon Morse and Beckett Hamilton; brother, Cache (Anitra) Morse; nephew, Tom Morse; niece, Cassandra Hamilton; uncles, aunts and cousins; and more friends than anyone could imagine. We know the Teagan will especially miss riding with Sam.
Sam was preceded in death by Grandpa and Grandma Bailey; Grandpa and Grandma Morse; uncles Tony, Mark and Luke Bailey; aunt Sally Bailey, uncle John Gilbert, cousin Lance Gilbert; cousin Sara Cameron and Sam's very best friend ever, Joe-dog.
Can't you hear the uncles saying, "Grab a chair, Sam. The coffee pot's on."
A viewing for family and friends was held Sept. 9 at White Mortuary's Chapel by the Park with an informal gathering during and after the viewing at the city park.
