Sam Jenkins, 78, passed away peacefully on Friday, April 3, 2026, in Lawton, Oklahoma,

Sam was born on January 5, 1948, at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, to Roy Jenkins and Carmel (Swan)
Jenkins. As the son of a U.S. Army sergeant, Sam spent part of his early years living in
Germany and Holland before his family eventually settled in Lawton. He graduated from
Lawton High School in 1965.

years of marriage and raised two children, Johnny Jenkins and Michelle Alexander.

also spent many years working a second job at Martin's Restaurant, always providing for his
family.

Sam loved going to the beach, taking vacations, watching classic military movies and
television shows, and spending time golfing. He enjoyed riding his motorcycle, going out to eat with his family and had a big sweet tooth. He was also fond of animals, music, and was
known for his wonderful sense of humor that brought joy to those around him.

Above all, Sam was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend. He was deeply
loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
