Bio

Samuel “Sammy” Truman Littlejohn May 10, 1945 ~ October 14, 2020 PARADISE - Samuel Littlejohn, 75, passed away October 14, 2020 in Fort Worth, Texas. He was born to the late Joseph Marion Littlejohn and Janie Lorene Bullock May 10, 1945 in Fort Worth. He was a 1963 graduate of Lake Worth High School. A decorated Vietnam Veteran with the United States Army, Sammy proudly served with his unit, the 25th Infantry Division. He received numerous badges, ribbons and medals and received the Army Commendation Medal as rank Specialist Four E-4 for his exceptionally meritorious service in support in the counterinsurgency effort in the Republic of Vietnam. After his tour in Vietnam in 1967 Sammy was stationed at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas where he was a Military Police Corporal. In 1971 he received his Honorable Discharge from the Army. He was a produce manager for many years, beginning with the Levels Food Store chains where he eventually assisted the Level family by opening new stores across the DFW area. He continued managing supermarket chains for Affiliated Foods throughout the north Fort Worth area before settling down and retiring from Food City. The stories Sammy would tell would leave listening ears spell-bound. He is most known for his fascinating stories about Vietnam or grocery store mishaps. We will miss his beautiful smile, loving nature, adventurous stories, and his joy for country dancing and singing ol’ Hank songs on Karaoke night. Preceded in death are his parents, Joseph Marion Littlejohn and Janie Lorene (Bullock) Littlejohn Shuler, brother, Cecil Joe Littlejohn and sister, Mary Ruth Littlejohn Jernigan. Survived by three daughters, Gayle, Teresa and Holly, brother, James, sister, Ann, grand children, great-grand children, numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and friends and extended family. Graveside Service: October 28, 2020 at Dallas-Fort Worth National Cemetery in Dallas, Texas. Brown Owens & Brumley Family Funeral Home
