Saverio D'Angelo



In the infinitely complex and beautifully interconnected web of human existence, we find ourselves pausing to honor and remember the unique journey of Saverio "Sam" D'Angeloa soul whose footsteps danced across the fabric of our world, leaving patterns of love, creativity, and unabashed authenticity in his wake.

Sam's narrative was not one written within the confines of societal norms but rather a breathtaking improvisation, a dance to the music of his own profound principles and passions. His life, a vivid mosaic of achievements as a dancer and designer, was further enriched by the depth of love he poured into raising his nephew and niece. In doing so, he ensured their world was not just stable but vibrant with care.

His legacy, akin to a constellation in the vastness of the night sky, is one of creativity, love, and the bold defiance of the expected. Through Sam, we've learned the power of living our truth, of illuminating the shadows of conformity with the light of our individuality. As we gather to share stories of his lifea life that flowed seamlessly from the dance floors and design studios to the quiet, profound act of ensuring his family's well-beingwe find ourselves celebrating not just the man but the way he moved through the world.

Sam's departure to his next great adventure, though a moment of profound sadness, is also a point of reflection on the beauty of a life lived with intention and heart. His journey was a reminder that the most extraordinary lives are often the ones lived quietly, with love and a steadfast commitment to one's own path.

As we prepare to say goodbye, we come together to mark the passing of a truly extraordinary soul. Services will begin on Friday, April 19th, with a Rosary at 8:45 a.m., followed by a funeral mass at 9:30 a.m. at St. Therese of the Infant Jesus Catholic Church in Albuquerque. The journey will conclude with a burial at Sunset Memorial Park, after which we will gather to share memories and celebrate Sam's life at Maria D'Angelo Legendre's home.

In this moment of loss, let's hold onto the lessons Sam taught us: to live authentically, love deeply, and, above all, to dance through life following the rhythm of our own hearts. In loving memory of Saverio "Sam" D'Angelo, may we carry forward his legacy of brightness in a world that often forgets the value of dancing to one's own beat.
