Thank you Jimmy for your wonderful eulogy. Our family appreciates your kind words! ??

An Austin icon, always great company and a good friend. Not enough words to describe Sam and the joy he brought so many people. And he loved his family and was so proud! Hugs and prayers to the entire Irwin clan.

Fellow student and band member at Midland High School. Who could forget the leadership Sam displayed as our esteemed Drum Major. None of us are surprised at Sam's record of success.
Missed but never forgotten.
