Samuel "Bubbs" Hailstones, born on May 2, 1956, passed away on October 16, 2025. His spirit will forever live on in those who were fortunate enough to know him. Known for being the life of the party and often the first on the dance floor, his fun and loving presence was truly irreplaceable. His memories will continue to bring joy to those who knew and loved him. Bubbs was a man who cared deeply for those around him, and he will be profoundly missed by everyone.
He is survived by his daughters, Karen and Jessica; his grandchildren, Josh, Madelyn, and Brian; and his cats, Pharaoh and Maverick.
Bubbs was predeceased by his beloved wife, Margaret Hailstones. He also joined his parents, John and Ruth Hailstones; his son, Brian Hailstones; and his brother, John Hailstones IV.
Samuel "Bubbs" Hailstones will be missed by everyone who had the privilege to know him. His spirit dances on in our hearts, reminding us all to live fully, laugh loudly, and love endlessly.
