November 20, 1961 — February 16, 2019
Motorsports artist and designer Samuel Mark “Sam” Bass, 57, died on the morning of Saturday, Feb. 16, 2019, after a long illness.
Sam’s love of stock car racing was born when the six-year-old met NASCAR legend Bobby Allison at Virginia’s Southside Speedway and joined the popular driver’s fan club. From that moment, the Hopewell, Va., second-grader dreamed of combining his love of stock car racing with his natural talent for illustration.
Sam is survived by his wife Denise W. Bass; daughter Kendyl Madison Bass; son Samuel Mark Bass Jr.; mother Peggy A. Bass of Concord, N.C.; father David H. Bass of Colonial Heights, Va.; and brother Richard A. Bass. In addition to numerous relatives and close personal friends, Sam had many fans worldwide. Sam was also an accomplished and passionate musician.
A service to celebrate his life will be held at 11:00 am on Thursday, February 21 at Rocky Ridge United Methodist Church in Concord. The family will greet friends following the service in the fellowship hall until 1:30 pm. A private burial will be held for the family
