Arnold Revere Obituary

It is with great sorrow and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Arnold​ "Sam" Revere, who was called to glory on February 8th, at the age of 77. Born on​ January 4th, 1948, Sam was a devoted husband, loving father, cherished grandfather,​ and a beloved brother and uncle. 

A man of incredible skill, kindness, and integrity, Sam was known by all for his​ craftsmanship and work ethic. As an accomplished carpenter, he brought warmth​ and beauty to every home he touched. His skill with his hands was matched only by​ his generosity of spirit and the joy he found in helping others. Whether it was​ building something with care or offering a helping hand, Sam always went the extra​ mile to make those around him feel valued. 

An avid outdoorsman, Sam had a deep love for the natural world. His passion for​ fishing, hunting, and exploring the great outdoors was something he shared with his​ family and friends. He spent countless hours enjoying the serenity of the woods,​ lakes, and bayous, always with a story to tell. 

But perhaps the most remarkable thing about Sam was his unwavering devotion to​ his wife, Doris, and his family. As a husband and father, he was a steadfast provider​ and a pillar of love and support. He taught his children not only the value of hard​ work, but also the importance of love, kindness, patience, and respect. He was a​ proud grandfather, relishing in the joy of watching his grandchildren grow, always​ eager to share his wisdom and adventures with them. 

Sam was a loyal and caring brother and uncle, offering his support to all who needed​ it and always bringing laughter and warmth to family gatherings. His presence will be ​missed, but his legacy will live on in the hearts of all who had the privilege of​ knowing him.  

Sam is survived by his wife, Doris, his two daughters Jeanne (Myrio) and Erica​ (Timothy), six sisters Patricia, Nora (Harold), Maureen, Kay, Fay and Rhea (Irvin),​ one brother, Bruce, his grandkids, Myrio Jr, Myles, Mya, Cameron, Tyler and Trey,​ and a host of nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his mother​ (Antonia), father (Hobert), and brothers (Antoine, Hiram, Dexter, and Andre'). 

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Hospice House of​​ Slidell, in honor of Arnold Revere. 

Sam may be gone, but his spirit, kindness, and laughter will remain with us forever.
