Samuel Roy Allen, 61, of Midland, passed away peacefully at his home on September 19, 2025. "Little Sam" was born on June 10, 1964, in Andrews, Texas, to Big Sam and Inez Allen. From the time he was a young boy, Little Sam was a rambunctious boy. He enjoyed riding horses and playing football. As a young adult, he could be found on his motorcycle or working in the oilfield with his father. Everyone who truly knew him knew Little Sam had a big heart for people. His home was always open to his friends and family. His couch was always available as long as you were willing to listen to his stories. Little Sam enjoyed telling stories, spending time with his dog, and spoiling his grandchildren. He is survived by his mother, Inez Allen; his children, Tera (Mike) Urban, T'Nee (Mario) Villareal, Baby Sam (Stacy) Allen, Lisa (Steve) Christopher, Nikki Allen, Payne Allen, Corbin Crisp, and Ethan Allen; and 18 grandkids. He was preceded in death by his father, Big Sam; and his sisters, Rena and T'Nee Annette.
