Sam Flores Obituary

On September 2, 2019 surrounded by his heartbroken family and close friends, Sam a loving husband and devoted father suddenly passed away at the age of 41. Sam was born on December 9, 1977 to his proud parents Sam and Laura Flores. Sam lived and grew up in Fresno CA where he attended Easterby Elementary School, Computech Middle School, and Edison High School. Later he attended Cabrillo College, Fresno City College, and obtained his BA degree at Stanislaus State University. He earned his masters degree at Fresno Pacific University. He was a coach and teacher for 16 years. He worked at Hoover High School and Fresno City College. He enjoyed being an assistant coach at the baseball camps held at Stanford University during the off season. His passion was baseball both as a player and coach. He had a sincere desire to help others reach their potential. He applied himself to achieve this goal in life. He worked many long hours with players, students, and families to succeed. Upon his passing, as a family we knew of his caring for others but were over whelmed by the extent of how many people he had touched. A significant part of his life was being a father to his son Cal and his daughter Claire and a devoted husband to his supportive wife Andrea. His parents Sam and Laura could not have been any more proud of their son and will greatly miss his thoughtfulness as a son. We as a family of parents, wife, children, in laws, aunts and uncles and cousins dearly loved him. Visitation 10:00 am-6:00 pm September 12, 2019, Thursday.

I had the great pleasure of meeting Sam in 2011, and I clearly remember his sense of humor and passion for coaching. Sam, your passing comes as a complete shock, but you will forever be remembered. To the family, my prayers are with you. May God give you the strength needed and the reassurance that life after death is paradise.

Although I did not know what sounds like a special young man, I would like to extend my sincere Sympathy. I do not know what its like to lose a child or grandchild. However, I do know what its like to lose parents, brothers, niece's and nephews. The pain seems unbearable. I pray for comfort and peace through this difficult time. God Bless you all.

A life that ended much too soon. Sam Flores would yet, touch the lives of many in his short tenure. Using baseball as his vehicle he would influence peers and athletes on and off the field, providing life perspectives in his teachings, personalized from his own youthful wisdom. Sam would be instrumental in baseball development, providing personal attention and care necessary to move student-athletes to next levels. A key contributor to some players that would ultimately fulfill their dreams as professionals. Maybe no greater accomplishment in life than having the capability to inspire, move and mold young people for next level operations and preparation which for Sam, was mission accomplished. I am thankful for having had your friendship, you are and will be sorely missed. To Andrea, Cal, Claire and the extended Flores family, I pray you can take solace in Sam's legacy as an influential Father, Teacher and Coach that will continue to live on.
