Michael Gene Samuels
Michael Gene “Doc” Samuels died August 7, 2022 at age 67 in Plano, TX. Michael is survived by his children Kelly (Jason) Almand of McKinney, TX, Kylie (Matt) Edwards of Blue Ridge, TX, Taylor (Julian) Lundgren of Castro Valley, CA, Zachary (Morgan) Samuels of Celina, TX; his grandchildren Madison, Mason, Landon, Cory, Ashton, Colin, Freya, Margot and another soon to be granddaughter; his siblings Sherry (Randy) Smith of Hobbs NM, Sam (Shelley) Samuels of Cleburne, TX, Wyatt (Rhonda) Martin of Mesquite, TX along with his canine companion, Ollie. He was preceded in death by his parents Lawrence and Therese “Terri” Samuels, and Wanda and Paul “PO” Martin; his granddaughter Mikala Davis; his brothers Glenn Berg and William Lawrence Samuels; his nieces and nephews Andrea Lynett Smith and Troy Smith, along with the many loyal canine companions he loved throughout his life. He will be missed by many other friends and family. Michael was born on December 24, 1954 in San Angelo, TX to Lawrence Samuels & Wanda Webb. In 1971 at age 16, Michael won the national Judo championship as a black belt and was set to compete in the Junior Olympics in Japan. He graduated from Texas Tech in 1978 with his undergraduate degree and in 1982, graduated with his Doctorate at Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine in Fort Worth. He served as a D.O. in the DFW area healing patients until moving to California in 1997. He was renowned for his cranial sacral work and patients flew in from all over the world to be treated by him. His life’s passion was as a healer, dedicated to natural medicine, homeopathy, chinese medicine, acupuncture, and chelation therapy to name a few. With his microscope, Michael helped develop many leading edge treatments and his passion for knowledge never ceased. However, Michael’s most powerful tools were his hands, his intuition, and his whole-hearted attention to his patient. His children will most remember him for his sense of humor, questionable fashion sense, and how he consistently laughed at his own jokes. He was intellectual and uniquely brilliant, his ideologies a bit before his time. In lieu of flowers, Michael’s children would ask that you please share your fondest memories or stories of their father, either through Facebook or in the comments section below.

  1. Love you, I miss you dearly, I keep waiting for the phone to ring and you saying sis this is your brother Michael.

    1. Sherry, I’m so sorry for your loss! He was a great man and healer of many!!
      I came across the last email I sent him and thought I’d share it with you. It expresses my appreciation for his treatments that helped me deliver my daughter.
      Doc, Hope this email gets to you, I’ve been trying to find you for about 10 years now. I felt bad about the last time we talked when I had a house full of people and I was having a hard time concentrating on our conversation. I hope things are going good with you and I would really like to catch up with you. Kristen is married & living in Bountiful, Utah now…that miracle baby that wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for you, now has a 1 year old baby boy and expecting baby #2 – they’re hoping for a baby girl this time. David is married with a 7 year old son and a 3 year old daughter living in south Texas and possibly going to Ireland with his work {for a 2 year stint} in the next 6 months – my grandson told me last night I could move to Ireland with them, I told him Grandpa and I would come visit while they are living there. Joe & I are still here in the Nashville,TN. area but Joe is working in Indianapolis, IN. so we’re doing the commuting thing AGAIN. We just hit our 20 year mark – miracles do still happen.
      You really changed my life!! I finally found another amazing physician here in Lebanon, TN…she’s a network chiropractor but she doesn’t do homeopathy. She does work with flower essences and supplements and any time I have something I’m not sure about testing myself with – I take it to her and she muscle tests me for it.
      Well, I’m not sure if this email will even make it to you so I better quite rambling till I find out if I’ve really found you again or not. I have about a gazillion questions for you. I went on facebook and typed in Taylor’s name and ask her about you. I bet I’ve emailed 50 people/places in the last ten years trying to find you…I truly hope this is you. Please give me a call.(phone#removed)
      I never heard back from your brother but he changed/ blessed the lives of so many people and he is sorely missed!! God bless you, Janet Gieseke
