Samuel Leininger

We would like to thank everyone for their support, kind wishes, and prayers. Your love has helped us through a difficult time as we awaited the arrival of our son, Sam.

Sam was born on June 23, 2025, at 1:50 a.m. He brought light, happiness, and joy to everyone around him. For 12 hours and 17 minutes, he fought bravely for life, but in the end, his lungs were not strong enough—and God gently took his pain away.

On June 23, 2025, at 1:07 p.m., Sam left us. He will bring joy in heaven now.

Sam is deeply loved by his mama, Alysa Kinkead; his dada, Dustin Leininger; and his big sister, Isabel Leininger. He was named in honor of his great-grandfather, Samuel Kinkead, and joins him in eternal rest alongside his great-grandmother, Judy Kinkead, and great-grandfather, Carl Richie.

A service of celebration will start at noon on July 9th at the Martin United Methodist Church. Thank you to all that come.
