Sam Palazzola Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Grace Memorial - Smith Chapel - Port Huron on Feb. 19, 2025.
Sam J. Palazzola, age 81, of Port Huron, passed away peacefully on February 18, 2025, at Regency on the Lake. Born on March 24, 1943, in Detroit, Michigan, he was the cherished son of the late Vito and Madeline (Sears) Palazzola.
Sam was dedicated to his work as a skilled block layer and mechanic. His hands, always ready to build or repair. Beyond work, Sam was a man of many passions. His love for Harley Davidson motorcycles was more than a hobby; it was a symbol of his free spirit and love of adventure. His dogs were his best friends. Sam's happiest moments were spent surrounded by friends and family, sharing stories and laughter over a few beers.
Sam is survived by his loving children, Lisa Anjoski of Marysville, Sam Palazzola of Port Huron, and Ronald (Angie) Palazzola of Port Huron; 11 grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; and his nephew, Bob Palazzolo.
Sam was preceded in death by his siblings, Joe, Ronald, Grace, and Everett.
A gathering and viewing will be held on Wednesday, February 26, 2025, from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Grace Memorial-Smith Chapel, 1525 Hancock Street, Port Huron, MI 48060. Funeral services will begin at 4:00 p.m. Reverend Dr. G. Patrick Thompson will officiate. To send flowers to the family or plant a tree in memory of Sam, please visit our floral store.
