Samuel Lemine, Jr., 71, of Lewisburg, passed away Friday, June 20, 2025, after a lengthy illness. He was born September 17, 1953, the son of the late Samuel Lemine and Evelyn “Jean” Lemine.
Sam graduated from St. Francis de Sales High School, in Morgantown, in 1972. Sam was a care provider and manager at ResCare and Seneca Mental Health for most of his career.
After moving to Lewisburg, Sam enjoyed visiting Morgantown and attending WVU games. He was a loyal Pittsburgh Pirate fan and enjoyed attending their games as well.
His favorite hobby was fishing and being on the water in his canoe. Whether on the Greenbrier River, a local lake, or Cheat Lake in Morgantown, he loved to fish. He would often tease that he would bring the fish home, but he always returned them to their waters.
His greatest joy was coaching youth sports. He coached baseball, basketball and soccer for several years, impacting many local youth athletes. One of his greatest accomplishments was taking his son’s sixth grade all star baseball team to the state tournament. Sam spent many hours volunteering his time to work on baseball and soccer fields so they would be ready for games. He was also active in refereeing and umpiring youth sports.
Sam is survived by his wife of 42 years, Brenda; sons, Daniel, who was his primary caregiver for the past two years and Lucas (Erin); and grandchildren, Evelyn and Landon, all of Lewisburg. He is also survived by sons, Jason of South Carolina and Brett of Morgantown; siblings: Joe Lemine (Vicki), Dave Lemine and Ann Lemine-Turner (Todd), all of Morgantown; nieces and nephews: Matt (Melinda – Henry and Sammy), Michael, Mary, Adrienne, Abby and Philip Lemine and Brandon George; and brothers-in-laws, Malcom and Randy (Peggy) Sampson of Lewisburg.
We would like to thank Dr. Schaper, Home Care Plus and for those last few days, the Peyton Hospice House of Lewisburg for your support and care.

Rest in Peace Sam, where there is no pain. We love you and will forever miss you.
Love, your family
