Samuel Smith Crow, 75, of Pensacola Beach, Florida, passed away Wednesday, November 20, 2019, in Gulf Breeze, Florida. He was born in Fort Smith, Arkansas and graduated from Fort Smith High School. He was a retired systems and architectural engineer for IBM and Lockheed Martin. During his tenure at Lockheed Martin, Sam achieved the distinction of becoming a Lockheed Martin Fellow. He served in the U.S. Air Force and was a Vietnam veteran. Sam was an active member of the Gideons International.
Sam is survived by his wife of 34 years, Anna Howard Crow; nephew David S. McVay (Mary); niece Becky McVay Birch; and niece Dianne Crow Lowery; and many great-nieces and nephews. He is interred at the Smith Family Cemetery in Havana, Arkansas.

At a time like this, no amount of words written on a piece of paper or spoken from the hearts of people who loved him will ever do justice to the man that Sam was. He was intelligent and humble, knowledgeable and curious, thoughtful, generous, respectful and respected. And he was deeply, deeply loved by those who knew him and had the privilege of calling him friend or family.
