ABOUT THE MISSION:
Sammy Nevels Jr is remembered for his love of God, and his family. He instilled the importance of hard work, dedication, and morals into his two sons and everyone he met. These are all principals that will continue to live on and be passed down to the love ones and friends that will miss him. His life began Oct. 31st, 1946 in Corsicana, TX.

He learned of his family’s strong spiritual heritage and faithfulness to the Lord. This became a staple in his life in which he held close.
After graduation Sammy entered into Air Force in June of 1965 and served his time honorably as a Police Airman. Completing his service, he returned to Fort Worth, Texas and married Millie Foster. During their union they had two sons, in which they later gained 12 grandchildren and three great grandchildren. He later married Maxine Brenson who preceded him in death.

He then began his own company ASAP Plumbing and Air Conditioning which he sold later.
