Sam Houy, a beloved husband, father, and friend from Corona, CA, passed away on December 22, 2024, after a long and brave battle with a rare and progressive genetic neuromuscular disorder. He was 48 years old.
Sam had been diagnosed with Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 3 a decade ago, a condition that steadily deteriorated his motor functions. Despite the challenges, Sam continued to work hard to provide for his family, showing resilience and strength every step of the way. His illness took a more severe turn in mid-December, when he was admitted to the ICU with aspiration pneumonia and sepsis. After fighting valiantly for his life, Sam passed away with his wife, Gem, and their children by his side.
He leaves behind his loving wife Gem, with whom he had shared 17 years of marriage, and their five children. Sam was known for being a dedicated father and a supportive husband. His family remembers him as a hardworking and loving provider, whose presence will be dearly missed by those who knew him.
A fundraiser has been organized by Jesseca Eskander to help his family with funeral expenses and the challenges they now face. The GoFundMe page has raised $400 so far, with contributions from family and friends.
Jellie Santos shared her heartfelt condolences on Facebook, writing, "Rest in peace Sam, my dad is now watching over you."
We join the family and friends of Sam Houy in mourning his passing and offer our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Gem, their children, and all who were touched by Sam’s kindness and strength.
