Samuel Colpetzer

Samuel Robert Colpetzer, Laver Road, Greenville, Perry Township, passed away early Friday morning, Aug. 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, Ind.; Angie (Caleb) Cooper, Slippery Rock; Sally Oakes, Jackson Center; and George Colpetzer, Greenville.
