Sam was born on Vancouver Island in the town of Sidney.
He was the first of 5 children born to Samuel Ormond Blackwell and Violet May Burman. He worked as a "finish carpenter" but his true passion was fishing. His favorite place was fishing for salmon at "The Narrows". He died at home in Campbell River on Vancouver Island and is buried in a cemetery near that city.
