Samuel Scott Daves

Mr. Samuel Scott Daves, 27, of Valdese passed away on Monday, October 3, 2016. Sam was born on December 8, 1988 in Burke County to Michael Scott Daves and Wanda Watson Daves. He was a loving son, brother and grandson, who had a love for the Lord, his family and friends and his beloved dog, Nala Girl. Sam enjoyed listening to music, going on hikes, camping, playing baseball and poetry. He knew and acknowledged that Jesus was "the only real solution in a world filled with illusions". Sam was a self taught computer specialist, avid athlete and was very intelligent. But most of all he had an enormous burden in his heart for those who were hurting and facing hardships of their own. He often gave his last penny or food to help someone in need. We were blessed to have him as a son and are so very proud of him. Sam was preceded in death by his grandmothers, Doris Turner Daves and Nancy Eagle Watson and preceded also by a grandfather, Joseph William Watson. Survivors include his loving parents, Michael and Wanda Daves of Valdese, siblings, Aaron Daves of the home, and Emma Daves of Asheville, grandfather, Wilton Daves and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, October 8, 2016 at 11:00 A.M. at the Morganton First Church of God on Summers Rd., with Rev. Jon McDivitt and Rev. George Patton officiating. The family will receive friends following the service. Memorials may be made in Sam's memory to: C.C.R.P., 1201 S. Sterling St., Morganton, NC 28655.
