It is with great sadness that the City of Marble Falls informs you of the tragic loss of Marble Falls Fire Captain Sam Stacks. This is a heartbreaking time for our community.
Captain Stacks had been a valued member of the City since January 4, 2005. He dedicated his life to serving and protecting the people of his community . Captain Stacks exemplified heroism by doing what our first responders do every day: put on their uniform, leave their loved ones, and carry out their sworn duty to protect and serve the residents of our city.
Sam was also the Chief of Burnet County ESD9 Spicewood Fire Rescue.
His fellow firefighters describe Sam as a mentor who had a gruff exterior, but one of the biggest hearts.
Marble Falls Fire Chief Russell Sander stated “Sam was a valuable leader in the department and dedicated to serving his community. Most importantly, he was a friend. His passing leaves a huge hole in our family. He will be missed, but we will never forget him.”
We ask that you keep his family and all members of his public safety family in your prayers at this difficult time.
Funeral details are pending and will be announced when available.
