Samuel was born on June 21, 1947, to Patricio and Esperanza Quesada in Farmersville, TX. He passed away on March 5, 2025, at the age of 77.

Samuel was a proud graduate of Brownfield High School, where he completed his studies in 1968. Shortly after, he dedicated himself to serving his country by joining the United States Army in 1969. As a Private during the Vietnam War, Samuel exhibited incredible courage and resilience until his honorable discharge in 1974. His commitment to service continued as he enlisted in the National Guard, where he remained actively involved in veteran programs, forming lasting friendships with fellow veterans who shared his experiences.

In addition to his service, Samuel will be remembered by his family for his fun-loving and caring personality, which brightened every gathering. He had a remarkable gift for making everyone in the room laugh. Samuel particularly loved cowboy movies, especially those starring Chuck Norris, and nothing brought him more joy than savoring beef fajitas paired with his favorite margaritas. He delighted in playing cards, reading books, and sharing captivating stories from his time in Vietnam, ensuring that his legacy of warmth and camaraderie endured in the hearts of those who knew him.

Samuel is preceded in death by his parents, Patricio and Esperanza Quesada; sisters, Delia Garza, Sylvia Garcia, and Ninfa Valdez; two great-grandchildren, Camila Abril Sanchez and Jesus Rincon.

He leaves as his legacy, three daughters, Monica Quesada of Oakley, KS, Sylvia Constancio of Lubbock, TX, and Daisy Saldana (Sammy) of Brownfield, TX; grandchildren, Andrew Moreno, Lily Moreno, Adrienne Moreno, Angel Moreno, John Moreno, Trinie Constancio, Christian Constancio, Ebony Constancio, Gabriella Constancio, Jaiden Morin, Sammy Saldana, and Kayleigh Saldana; great-grandchildren, Eliana Rincon, Brayden Wilson, Adylene Moreno, Esaias Constancio, Salome Saldana; great-great-grandaughter, Sofia Vital; brother, Moises Quesada (Eva); and sisters, Maria E. Fonseca, Mary Garcia, Gloria Martinez, Lisa Guerra, Isabelle Quesada, and Eva Orozco (Robert).
