Samuel Branden Glodowski

Samuel Branden Glodowski, age 3, went to his Heavenly home while in the arms of his parents on Monday, August 5, 2019 at Marshfield Children’s Hospital. He ran to the arms of his Heavenly Father, freed from his earthly limitations, and was welcomed by his Grandmother Genevieve Pliska and Grandfather Ernest Glodowski.

Sam was born 6 weeks premature, on August 9, 2015, the youngest son of David and Michelle Glodowski. Although his life was complicated by complex medical issues, Sam was one of the happiest of kids. His eyes danced, his smile made you smile, and his belly laugh was the best you’ve ever heard. He loved playing on his workbench, clapping hands, watching his brothers play, knowing where Mom was at all times, man time with Dad, and every silly strange noise.

Sam demanded the attention of both doctors and nurses alike, always blazing his own path. You never did know what he was going to do, so we always followed his lead. Our house and lives became Sam centered. ~We needed to give him a lifetime of love and were honored to do so in the amount of time we had with him.~

Sam taught us that being together at home is the most important thing and that healthy kids are truly a blessing.
Sam is survived by his parents David & Michelle Glodowski, older brothers Trent and Blake Glodowski, & his Grandma and best friend, Annette Glodowski. He is further survived by his Grandpa Raymond Pliska, Godparents Amy Forst, Sarah Kinnick, & Jason Pliska and numerous Aunts, Uncles, & cousins.
