Sam Passley

The family is saddened to announce the passing of Samuel "Sam" T. Passley, Age 47 of Charleston, Missouri on Thursday, March 17, 2022 at Missouri Delta Medical Center in Sikeston, Missouri.

Sam was born on October 6, 1974 to the late Edward "Cotton"" Passley and Elizabeth Marie Passley, and was raised in Charleston, Missouri by his adoptive parents, the late Frank "Junior" Bowles and Mae Passley Bowles, who survives.

Sam was married on September 13, 1997 and is survived by his wife Tami Manker Passley, and was survived by his son, Brandon (Danielle) Passley; his daughter Chelsea Patterson; his three grandchildren Carson, Arizona and Aubree; his adoptive brothers, Larry (Renissa) Bowles and Steve (Diane) Bowles; his half-brother, Edward Passley; and half-sister Lisa Rochelle (Stephen) Bonogafsky.

Sam was AC/DC's biggest fan and loved to listen to them loud, so the next time you hear AC/DC, turn it up for Sam.

Sam's final act was to selflessly give the gift of life through organ donation.

The family has requested a private service.

McMikle Funeral Home of Charleston is in charge of arrangements.
