Samuel Orville Remilliard, 77 of North Port, Florida passed away Tuesday, November 3, 2026, after he suffered a stroke.

Sam was born on January 2, 1949, in Hinsdale, Illinois.  Sam is preceded in death by his parents George W. and Mary Remilliard, his sister Joanna Tucker, and his brother John Remilliard.  He is survived by one sister, Georgia Hutton, four nieces: Jayne McGinnis, Rebekah Hutton, LaDawn Hicks and Tammy Nowaczynski and two nephews Michael Hutton and Ryan Remilliard.

Sam served in the U. S. Army during the Viet Nam War and lived in Huntington Beach, California for several years in which time he learned to love the beach life.  He worked as a route salesman and later came back to Arkansas and bought a home in Van Buren and continued in sales until he was almost ready to retire. He worked for the city of Fort Smith for the last 5 years and then found his love of the beach and the ocean was revived so he began the search for a home in Florida. In 2015, he retired and moved to North Port, Florida.

He, as well as his brother John, will be greatly missed by his family and those who knew of his kindness and loyalty to whatever his job was at the time. The family will have a graveside service later this year.
