We would like to thank everyone for their support, kind wishes, and prayers. Your love has helped us through a difficult time as we awaited the arrival of our son, Sam.
Sam was born on June 23, 2025, at 1:50 a.m. He brought light, happiness, and joy to everyone around him. For 12 hours and 17 minutes, he fought bravely for life, but in the end, his lungs were not strong enough-and God gently took his pain away.
On June 23, 2025, at 1:07 p.m., Sam left us. He will bring joy in heaven now.
Sam is deeply loved by his mama, Alysa Kinkead; his dada, Dustin Leininger; and his big sister, Isabel Leininger. He was named in honor of his great-grandfather, Samuel Kinkead, and joins him in eternal rest alongside his great-grandmother, Judy Kinkead, and great-grandfather, Carl Richie.
A service of celebration will start at noon on July 9th at the Martin United Methodist Church. Thank you to all that come.
