To the Watkins family:
May the love and peace of God that He alone can give, in times like these, be yours as you go through the pain of separation. I shall always remember that smile and quiet spirited person I knew simply as "Sam". So good night Sam. We loved you but God loves you best.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Samuel Watkins was such a gentleman. On his very first day of work as a teacher at Hattiesburg High School, he walked into the library and asked could he help to move furniture or equipment! He always had a smile on his face and carried himself with a calm, quiet grace. I'm so grateful to have made his acquaintance. My condolences go out to his family and friends.

CPT Watkins was one of the most down to earth people that I have ever met in my military carreer. We met at Camp Shelby, MS. Never a more calm person have I met. My prayers go out to the family. He was a good Officer and a GREAT man.

CPT Watkins was my friend, he was down to earth guy and very easy to talk to. He taught one of my daughters at Hattiesburg High School and was a Soldier at the 2nd Battalion 346th Regiment at Camp Shelby, MS. He will be missed by his Soldiers fellow riders. I pray that you Rest in Peace and that your family is comforted in this time of loss.

Sam was a wonderful guy. He always had a smile on his face and his students respected him. I never once heard him raise his voice. He was a great role model and teacher.
