Samuel Lyle Hinton
Born January 29th, 2007 in Salem, OR to Skip and Melissa Hinton.
Called to be with Jesus on August 23, 2016.
Memorial to be held at 10am on Saturday, August 27th at Grace Baptist Church located at 310 NE 7th St. in Prineville, OR.
Samuel shared his world closest with his four little brothers and two baby sisters. There is also a host of very special people whom he handpicked to join him for the many moments of joy and laughter.
As an outspoken, non-verbal advocate of the autistic community Samuel taught us that it is more important to hug a child with special needs than it is to diagnose and press them to conformance.
He is the founder and president of the Good Sam’s Club at Grace Baptist Church, a ministry of love and acceptance for children and families with special needs. While he didn’t see that dream realized to its fullest potential, he planted his vision in the hearts of those he mentored along the way.
There has been a GoFundMe page set up to help his family through this time. Donations can be made at gofundme.com/226fgyrs.
