Born in Bridgeton, Reber previously worked at Van Dyke's in Millville and attended a local community college, his obituary says.

Reber was known for his highly intellectual personality — he was fluent in Spanish, played three different instruments, and was “no stranger to hard work,” according to his memorial.

Meanwhile, Reber was a believer in the gospel of Christ and enjoyed singing traditional Christian hymns, his obituary says.

Reber was also remembered for fostering a 14-year-long relationship with his loving canine companion, Moe.

Reber leaves behind his heartbroken parents, Frederick and Celina Reber; sister, Lydia; brother, Jonathan; niece, Ana, as well as numerous extended family members and dear friends.

Reber’s funeral was held Saturday, Feb. 12 at New Hope Presbyterian Church on Hitchner Avenue in Bridgeton.

“Samuel was a vivacious, gregarious, intelligent, and talented young man,” reads his memorial. “We are no longer privileged to have him in our midst.”
