Samuel Nicholas Parks, 38, of Morningside, MD, passed away on April 11, 2025. Born on July 19, 1986, in Sierra Vista, Arizona, he was a devoted son of Reginald and Julie Parks and a loving brother to David and Michael Parks.

His kind spirit and selfless dedication continue to inspire all who had the privilege of knowing him.
