Samuel Clay Haskett, 85 years of age, born July 14, 1934 in Robstown, TX, went Home to be with Our Loving Father on the 7 ^th day of June 2020.    He was a Husband, Son, Brother, Father, Uncle, Grandfather, Great Grandfather and Veteran, who served in Korea as a United States Marine

Sam was a man of God. He was kind, gracious, loving, forgiving, generous, courageous and strong. His laugh was infectious, his smile lit up the whole room and his sense of humor was one of a kind.

The Bible says "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." (Matthew 5:4) We mourn because we have lost a great, Godly man, husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. But we rejoice in knowing where he is going, to be with our Savior in Heaven.

Sam is survived by his loving wife Joyce, his two children, Marky, (husband Tim Kress), Clay, (wife Kelly Haskett), son-in-law Mike Van Dries and his sister, Merry Tehas.   Sam had seven grandchildren, Michael Logan Van Dries, (wife Lauren.) Austin Van Dries, (wife Britney), Kailey Gaytan, (husband Cesar), Cassidy Haskett, Danielle Connelly, (husband Gregg), Austin Kress and Julia Kress,  and five great grandchildren, Bentley, Madelynn and Avery Van Dries and Greyson and Quinn Connolly.

Sam was preceded in death by his oldest son Jeffery Haskett and youngest daughter Terri Lynn Van Dries.

At this time there will be no funeral service except for family.  There will be a celebration of life at a later time this year.  Sam loved all children and especially those with disabilities so in lieu of flowers please send any memorial contributions to Memorials Processing, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude PL, Memphis, TN, 38105-9959.
