On Thursday, July 25, 2025, Sam and his wife attended the 13th wreath-laying ceremony and Memorial service for his late father at the Asomdwe Park in Accra.
The late John Evans Atta Mills sadly passed away on July 24, 2012, at the 37 Military Hospital in Accra after he was rushed to the medical facility due to an illness.
The former president was still serving his first term in office when he died three days after celebrating his 68th birthday.
Many prominent Ghanaian political personalities, including President John Dramani Mahama, Vice President Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, NDC Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketia, and many others, attended the sombre wreath-laying ceremony and Memorial service event.
The late President's siblings and his surviving wife, Ernestina Naadu Mills, also attended the ceremony to honour the memory of their loved one.

Michelle Atta Mills held hands with her two children, a boy and a girl, while Sam Atta Mills held a heart-shaped wreath as they walked on the red carpet to the burial site.
The late President John Evans Atta Mills' sister, Ahema Quarshie, also held a separate wreath and led the family to her late brother's site.
Sam Kofi Atta Mills' little son later assisted his father in carrying the wreath, which they gently laid down on a white, cross-like stand.
The former president's son and his wife later held their children's hands as they walked back to take their seats after their gathering at the late Professor Mills' tombstone.
Sam Kofi Atta Mills and his wife Michelle's children's sighting marked a rare public appearance for them.
The couple has kept their life out of the limelight since they married in a simple but colourful wedding ceremony in 2021, with photos emerging days later.
