Samuel Robert Colpetzer

Samuel Robert Colpetzer, Laver Road, Greenville (Perry Twp.) passed away early Friday morning, August 27, 2021, at the Cleveland Clinic following a courageous battle with cancer.  He was 47.

He was born in Tyrone, PA on May 6, 1974, a son of Thomas Arthur and Karen Louise (Manges) Colpetzer.  Sam was a 1992 graduate of the Lawrence County Vo Tech where he studied diesel mechanics.  He possessed a special skill and knowledge that allowed him to fix most anything and was often able to be a problem solver when others were not able to find a resolution.  He was a life long dairy farmer and most recently had been employed by CY Construction, Fredonia. He enjoyed the companionship of his dog “Scruffy” and was always willing to lend a hand to those in need.

He is survived by his father, Thomas A. (Amy) Colpetzer, Greenville; his mother, Karen L. (Joel) Roberts, Titusville; his siblings, Wendy (Jason) McCullough, Bicknell, IN., Angie (Caleb) Cooper, Slippery Rock, Sally Oakes, Jackson Center and George Colpetzer, Greenville.
