Samuel Contreras II

Samuel Contreras II passed on Tuesday March 04, 2025, at the age of 74 in El Paso, TX.

Sammy was born in Silver City, NM on September 22, 1950. He studied Electrical Engineering for 2 years before entering the United States Army where he proudly served during the Vietnam Era. An unfortunate military accident led to his premature honorable discharge. Sam always considered himself a “military man”.

He often said he had a good life. Sam loved tinkering with electronics as well as studying mathematics. He was generous and never hesitated to help anyone in need. Sam humbly left a small legacy for fellow veterans in the hopes of helping future American generations.

Sam was preceded in death by his loving parents, Samuel R. Contreras and Connie Horcasitas. He never married but is survived by devoted family members who cared for him until his final days.

Samuel Contreras II is buried at Ft. Bliss National Cemetery near other patriotic relatives who served proudly as he did.
