 Sam was born on September 1, 1931, in Zwolle, Louisiana to Sam Procell and Lillie Mae Longoria Procell and passed away peacefully with his loved ones by his side on Monday, March 11, 2024.
 
 Sam was saved as a teenager in a little country church. He served in the music ministry in several churches and was an associate pastor. Sam loved the Lord with his whole heart. He served in the Army for two years and was a barber for 47 years. He met the love of his life, Margie Brown, in 1954 and had three sons and one daughter. Sam never met a stranger and loved to play games and tell stories. He especially enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. His family cherished the lunches and dinners where he would lead everyone in a song.
