Services for Samuel Wade Brown, 18, of Allen, Oklahoma were held on Thursday August 9th @ 1 pm, at Ada First Baptist Church, with graveside services following at Lamar Community Cemetery. Light finger foods and refreshments were served afterwards at the Lamar Community Center for family and friends to visit and gather.

Sam went to be with his Lord on Saturday, August 4th 2018 at his home. He was born June 26, 2000 to Wade and Annie Brown. Sam was a vibrant young man who thrived despite his struggles with Friedreich's Ataxia. Sam's big brown eyes and infectious smile had an impact on everyone who knew him.

Survivors include his parents Wade and Annie; his older sister Kinsey and younger sister Kathryn; grandparents Lu Langwell, Walter and Patty Brown, Larry and Janet Renfro; great grandmother Estelle Carlisle. His aunts and uncles Colt and Emily Gavin, Scott and Elizabeth Ward, and Malissa Enns. He leaves behind a host of cousins he loved dearly: Jake, Dakotah, Kayli, Noah, Javen, Baylor, Andy, Aaron, Lane, Cy, and Kale Lewis. Sam also leaves his two best friends Jon Huitt of Allen, and Madison Josey of Nashville, Tennessee.

He was preceded in death by his beloved Grandpa Larry Langwell; great grandparents Norma and Walter Penuel, Kenneth Carlisle, Walter and Audry Brown, Edna Schatt, cousins Matthew and Sara Gavin, and his beloved service dog, Stella.

Pallbearers were his buddies at Oklahoma Outdoor Outreach and Jon Huitt. The family asks in lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to www.curefa.org.
