Samuel Gary

Samuel Gary, a cherished son, brother, and friend, passed away peacefully on December 8, 2025, at the age of 74. Born on March 1, 1951, in Arkansas, Samuel was a man of integrity and strength, whose presence brought comfort and stability to all who knew him.

Samuel was the beloved son of the late Olivia (Gary) Allen and stepson to the late Joseph Allen. He was a guiding light in his family, and his wisdom will be deeply missed. Samuel leaves to cherish his memory his loving siblings; Charles Gary, Twila Taylor-Williams, Gwendolyn Gary, Terry Allen, a host of nieces, nephews and cousins as well as lifeling friends, Fred McFarly, Lamont Newsom, and Ronnie More-Newsome. Samuel was preceded in death by his mother Olivia Allen and step-father Joseph Allen; his siblings Patricia Allen, Angela Allen, Thomas Gary and Terence Allen. 

Samuel's passion for politics and current events was well-known among his friends and family. He had a keen understanding of the world around him and enjoyed engaging in thoughtful discussions. His insightful perspectives and willingness to listen to others made him a valued member of his community.

In his leisure time, Samuel could often be found reading the latest news articles or watching political debates. His love for knowledge and his desire to stay informed were traits that defined him. Samuel's interest in world affairs was not just a hobby but a testament to his commitment to being an informed and responsible citizen.
