Sam Edward Melton Jr. Obituary

With profound sadness, we say goodbye to Sam Edward Melton Jr. (Alexandria, Virginia), whose vibrant spirit touched the lives of many. Sam left this world on January 7, 2026 at the age of 88, leaving a void in the lives of so many people. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Sam Edward Melton Jr. to show support.

Though Sam may no longer walk beside us, his memory will forever be enshrined in the fabric of the lives of those Sam touched, a beacon of light guiding us through the darkness. In his absence, his spirit lives on — a gentle whisper in the breeze, a ray of sunlight on a cloudy day, a reminder that love knows no boundaries.

He is survived by: his wife Mary; his daughter Samantha; his granddaughter Alexandra "Lexi"; his great grandchildren, Hailey and Oakleigh; and his brother David.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to one of three charities that were the closest to his heart: St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Shriners Hospitals for Children, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
