Sacramento, California - Our beloved son Sam passed away peacefully on September 20 at the young age of 29. Sam was a kind and loving soul who touched many lives with his gentle spirit and brought much laughter with his playful humor. Sam is survived by his parents, Eileen Diepenbrock and Gene Cheever, his sister Sarah (Marty Holbus), brother Ben (Catherine Pitts), his grandmothers, Sydna Cheever and Tita Diepenbrock, and his many Cheever and Diepenbrock aunts, uncles, and cousins. Friends and family are invited to an informal Open House on Saturday, October 2 starting at 4 pm at the Cheever home in Sacramento. Sam’s family is forever grateful for the outpouring of love during this difficult time. Please consider supporting Stanford Sierra Youth and Families in Sam’s memory.
