Samuel M. Oliverio, 64, of Morgantown, W.Va., formerly of Washington, passed away Thursday, August 10, 2023, due to a long battle with lung-related complications.

Sammy was born March 17, 1959, in Washington.

He was preceded in death by parents, Sam and Mary Lou Oliverio.

Sammy is survived by brothers, Scott (Kathy) Oliverio of Washington, and Steve (Lee) Oliverio of Wilson, N.C. Also survived by former spouse, Tawnya Drake; and three children, whom he adored and would give the world for, Melanie (aka Max), Jonah and June. Additional surviving nieces and nephews include Angela Hunter, Nick Oliverio and Davy Oliverio. There are far too many Oliverio / Tiderman great-nieces, nephews and cousins to list here, but he will be greatly missed by all.

Sammy had a kind heart and soul with a smile to match. He was smart, thoughtful and a great listener.

He loved music, golf, cooking and treasured lifelong friendships like those with Rick Angott, Brian Baumgardner and Joey Reda.

No services are to be held, but we would imagine Sammy’s wishes would be for all to be kind to one another and hug the ones you love.
