Samuel Edward Faber, 83, passed away on May 9, 2025, at his home in Bradenton, Florida, surrounded by loved ones. He was born on September 9, 1941, in Sharon, Pennsylvania.
Samuel was a dedicated professional throughout his life. He was the retired owner-operator of Bill's Mobile Home Service, which he ran for 50 years. Prior to that, he worked as a foreman for GATX in Masury, Ohio, and later served as a serviceman for The National Church of God Campground in West Middlesex, Pennsylvania, for 15 years.
A man of Christian faith, Samuel actively participated in several congregations over the years. He attended Grace Chapel in Hermitage, Pennsylvania; Church of The Cross in Bradenton, Florida; and Covenant Church in Mount Vernon, Ohio.
He graduated from Sharon High School with the Class of 1959. Fondly known by many as "Mister FANTASTIC," Samuel brought joy and warmth to those around him. He cherished vacationing with family and friends, tending to his garden-especially his sweet raspberries-and sharing stories from his life with anyone willing to listen.
Samuel is survived by his loving wife, Penny Cornelius-Faber; daughters Judy (Rick) Nasser of Sharon, PA; Karyn Faber-Henry (David Bartley) of Bradenton, FL; Susan (Brian) Loughran of Pittsburgh, PA; and Tiffany Goulding (Rob Gabryelski) of Reno, NV; son-in-law Mark Asher of Houston, OH; sister Marion Krieder of Greenville, PA; sister-in-law Cathie (Steve) Wallace of Mount Vernon, OH; 18 grandchildren; 7 great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Samuel and Susan (Kapusta) Faber; former wife Janice (Winters) Faber; daughter Sharon "Shari" Faber Asher; and brother-in-law Ronald Krieder.
