Sam D. Hamilton, who turned a Southern youth’s love of fish and waterfowl into a 30-year career with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, becoming the service’s director last year, died Saturday on a ski trip in Colorado. He was 54.
His death was confirmed by the coroner’s office in Frisco, Colo. According to a statement from the coroner, Mr. Hamilton was pronounced dead after being transported off a mountain at the Keystone ski area suffering from chest pains. “The circumstances are consistent with an underlying heart-related medical issue,” the statement said.

Mr. Hamilton, a native of Mississippi, is survived by his wife, the former Becky Arthur of Lawrenceville, Ga.; their two sons, Sam Jr. and Clay; and a grandson, Davis.
