Samuel Curry Wilkins, 51, of Seneca Rocks passed away Dec. 25, 2022, at his home.

He was born on April 22, 1971, in Petersburg, the son of Patricia Arbogast Harrison and husband, Michael of Harrisonburg, Virginia, and Jack Curry Wilkins and wife, Shirley Wilfong Wilkins of Hillsboro. 

Mr. Wilkins was a 1989 graduate of Circleville High School and had attended Potomac State College.

He attended Cherry Grove Baptist Church in Cherry Grove. He enjoyed spending time with his buddies, Ben, Andy, and Steve on the Hinkle Farm or at the family cabin on Rich Mountain.

His legacy is in his family and friends within the community. As a result of an accident in his early years, the Greater Shenandoah Valley Brain Injury Support Group was founded which has created many opportunities for traumatic brain injury survivors in the Greater Shenandoah Valley area.

In addition to his parents, he leaves behind to cherish his memory a brother, Carlton Wilkins of Riverton; a sister, Rebecca “Becky” Wilkins of Riverton; two half sisters, Susan Wilkins Taylor and Sarah Wilkins Brown, both of Hillsboro; a half brother, Jonathon Wilkins of Hillsboro; grandmother, Izetta Canfield Arbogast of Circleville; a niece, Makayla Wilkins of Riverton; a great-nephew, Tabor Wilkins Gillespie of Riverton; maternal aunts and uncles, Joan and Gene McConnell and Debra and Boyd Lucas, all of Circleville and James and Debra Arbogast of Seneca Rocks; paternal aunts and uncles, Dotsy and Harlan Miller of Blacksburg, Virginia, and Jane Wilkins of Riverton; and a special friend, Samantha Boggs of Petersburg.

He was preceded in death by grandparents, Jack and Dolly Wilkins of Franklin and Paul Arbogast of Circleville. 

In honoring Mr. Wilkins’ wishes, his body has been cremated.

A celebration of life was held Dec. 31 in the chapel of the Basagic Funeral Home in Franklin with Pastor Ted Bennett and Rev. Debra Lucas officiating. 

Memorial donations may be made to The Greater Shenandoah Valley Brain Injury Support Group, PO Box 2121, Harrisonburg, VA 22801.

Memories and words of comfort may be left at www.basagic.com or on Facebook at Basagic Funeral Home.
