It is with a heavy heart that we reflect on our dearly departed father, Samuel Ramon Macias. He left this world on August 5th, 2025 and joined his wife Beatrice Macias in the afterlife, cherishing the memories they created together. Samuel was born in El Paso, Texas, in 1949 to parents Guadalupe and Socorro Red Macias. Samuel was the youngest of his siblings, Ysidro Macias, Augustina Hernandez, Estella Acuña, Trinidad Macias, Rodolfo Macias, Manuela Ramírez, Ruben Macias.
Samuel was a unique individual with a big personality that commanded attention. When asked how he was doing, his response was always, “Maintaining.” Despite the challenges of life, Samuel and Beatrice managed to maintain a remarkable marriage that spanned over five decades. Their love, patience, and unwavering devotion endured until the very end.
The union of Samuel and Beatrice blessed them with two sons, Sammy and Nicholis Macias, a daughter-in-law, Amber Garcia Macias, and two angels, their grandchildren, Lianna and Damian Macias. Their legacy lives on in the hearts of all who knew them.

During the time of his service he was awarded the Air Force Commendation Medal with valor for his heroism in saving the lives of two Airman while being injured himself.

Samuel continued service to his country with a long career in Logistics and Property Book Management for the US Army. Through it all he was a proud American that believed in the best this country had to offer, a promise of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
