On Saturday, February 17, 2024, Sam Trashawn Godwin was called to eternal rest while surrounded by loved ones. Sam was born on July 8, 1990 in Suffolk, Virginia to Samuel Godwin and Diane Holland.
He was a loving son, brother, uncle and friend who was always well mannered, neatly groomed and stylishly dressed. Sam loved family gatherings, talking with his senior ladies and spending time with his friends. His hobbies included traveling, grilling, drawing, playing basketball and football. He was a devoted Pittsburgh Steelers fan.
Sam has held several positions in the workforce, but his most esteemed occupation was his recent position as a Merchant Seaman. God blessed Sam to live his dream of traveling the world to countries like Dubai, Italy and Saudi Arabia.
Sam leaves behind his mother, Diane; his father, Sam; stepmother, Josette; maternal grandmother, Doris; three sisters, Shante Holland, Samara Godwin, and Shamyia Godwin; two nephews, Kamarea Holland-Hamlin and Kyior Tucker; special friend, Bria Bell and her son, Mason and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
