Samuel Roan Dempsey

Samuel Roan Dempsey, age 14 of Wilmington, DE passed away on Tuesday, August 20, 2024.
Sam was born November 21, 2009, to Shawn and Bethany Dempsey and became Andrew's little brother.
In addition to his parents and brother, Sam is survived by his paternal grandparents, Harold and Kathleen Dempsey, and his maternal grandparents, Charles and Dena Anthony, along with two great-grandmothers, many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Sam completed eighth grade at The John Dickinson School and was looking forward to entering Hodgson High School in the fall. From the beginning, Sam marched to the beat of his own drum. He had a big personality and an energetic disposition and captured the hearts of anyone who knew him.
Sam loved his family and enjoyed spending time with his parents, grandparents, and many cousins. He particularly enjoyed apple picking with Nana and Grandpap and fishing, crabbing, and kayaking with Grammy and Grandad.
Early on, Sam displayed athletic abilities; riding a bike at only 3 years old, being an avid fisherman, and enjoying anything that involved the outdoors. After learning a new hobby/skill Sam would give 100 percent to be the best he could be. Most recently he spent much of his time playing ice hockey with his friends, and working out at the gym with his brother.
He was hardworking, spending hours working on projects for a Special Convention and construction work with his friend John in "The Pit". He was a very generous person, always thinking of others. He enjoyed sharing what he learned from the Bible with those he met.
Sam will be sorely missed by everyone who knew and loved him.
Services will be held on Sunday, September 15, 2024 at 4:00 PM at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, 1103 Milltown Road, Wilmington, DE 19808.
