"On behalf of my family, I wanted you to know how much we appreciate your handling of my husband's final arrangements. Wayne Baxter assisted & guided us through the entire process with such care & compassion. Don't know what we would have done without him! Sincerely, Colleen Elledge"

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"

So sorry to hear this. Loved Coach Bean!
Brad Heffington family
One of the GREAT ones! Having coached myself for over 30 years, I look back at the coaches we had…..and I realize how well we were coached
I have fond memories of Coach Bean. Truly one of the good guys. He will certainly be missed. Wildcat Magic!
Many fond memories of Coach Bean, but the best one was the day I “snowplowed” the cinder track at Wildcat Stadium after catching a hurdle with my trailing knee. I had abrasions from my chin down. He was waiting for me at the end of the race and was so kind and gentle. “Burks, let’s work on not doing that again!”
Coach Bean was the best. We will never forget the part he played in all of our lives.
Coach was a great coach. You always got the most out of each one of us. RIP
Playing for coach Bean was the highlight of my high school days. Loved him. Prayers for the family and friends.
I learned so much from Coach Bean when I was his assistant at Littlefield! Great man who definitely left his mark everywhere he went. Sam will be truly missed. Deepest condolences to all of his friends.
Sam and his family were on the Littlefield coaching staff when we moved to Littlefield during August two a days . Coaching staffs are like families and we had some great times with Sam and Kris. Monti and the boys were all about the same age with that being five years old. The kids were instant pals and quite the entrepreneurs and decided to earn Curly Top money with their various businesses. The three had a skating rink, gave piano lessons, had a gymnastic studio, and a lawn business. Those businesses each have their own tale. CL and Sam told the kids it was time they earned their keep. One time I was trying to get my kids to school and I was slowly running out of gasoline very close to the old Alamo building, but the car was stalling in the intersection. The bigger kids all jumped out and ran for their school buildings. Monti refused to be humiliated and embarrassed and would not jump out of the stalling car. She was down in the front seat and foot well and no matter how much I prodded, socked her, and “verbally” encouraged her, she would not exit the vehicle. About that time, someone was knocking on the passenger side window. I hoped it was not CPS. It was Coach Bean and he took the car to the curb. Instructed Monti to be on about her business and she was out of that car like a shot. Lol. Coach Bean was a perfectionist and super intelligent. When the teachers first took the TCAT in the old Junior High Cafeteria,, Sam was the last one to leave the building. Come to find out later, he doubled checked every question until he left with a perfect score. C.L would tell me Sam was the greatest motivational speaker in football meetings. Sam would have the kids so fired up that you’d think the boys were storming the beaches of Normandy instead of heading into Wildcat Stadium. Billy Tom Grant sat in on one of the speeches and was afraid he may have re-enlisted in the Army if hadn’t headed out of there!! Some Littlefield Wildcats are legends. Sam Bean certainly was one.
Sam was such a great man, wonderful role model, mentor and friend. He was widely respected by all who knew him. I felt very lucky to have known him and worked for him at TA Howard. He will be greatly missed.
