From Thomas S. Lowther Funeral Home & Crematory

Cesar Samuel Kaufman, 54

August 07, 1967 – April 14, 2022

Cesar Samuel Kaufman, affectionately known as “Sam”, age 54, left this world on his own spaceship on April 14, 2022.  Sam was born in Tucson, Arizona, and lived in many different places.  He proudly served in the Israeli Defense Forces with the Golani Brigade.  Sam was employed by Stanley Stephens Inc. for over 8 years and there are five things that he strived to achieve each day of his life.  They are Respect, Responsibility, Accountability, Love and Making Good Choices.

Sam shared his enthusiasm for life with everyone he met.  He enjoyed planning pranks and sharing jokes throughout his life and even after his death.  Survivors include his: “beautiful wife” – Anne Marie Kaufman, fur babies – Maddox and Hank, mother – Patricia Malka Kaufman, sister – Tanya Aliza Kaufman, aunts, uncles, many cousins, and all of those that Sam chose to “pick” as his family.  In a letter written by Sam, he wrote: “Although it is said that you can’t pick your family, I respectfully disagree.”

Sam was predeceased by his father David Kaufman and his “brother” Daniel Ascher.
