Obituary of Samson Charles Castellane

My son Samson Charles Castellane Sr. was brought into the world on August 22nd of 1982. I watched him take his first steps at eight months; he threw away his bottle at the same time. Just like his older brother Tommy Jr. he took to water like a fish and at the age of two-and-a-half dove in and swam 25 feet under water. As he grew; he excelled through school and was a chess champion at age eight. Yes, it is hard to believe that my baby Sam will never call me, play with his son Samson Jr. who he loved dearly just like he loved his loving wife Marlene. Sam was preceded in death by his loving mother Teresa Castellane who he loved dearly. Survived by his father Thomas A Castellane Sr. his older brother Thomas A Castellane Jr. younger brother Charles Anthony Castellane and Tla-wit-kee Hobucket, Rodney Krise, Casey Brown, Gary Brown, Derek and Taylor. Grandma Ramona Mosier. Aunties: Sylvia Carrillo, Marian Ogden (Clyde) daughter Renee, Joyce Castellane and her son Michael. Viola Thomas, Brenda Thomas, Uncles: Buddy Wayne, Michael, Allan, Gary (Jan), Andy Castellane and countless of love ones who will miss him dearly.
