Sam Bahret 1962-2024
Vernon “Sam” Blair Bahret, 61, of Silver Lake, transitioned from this life to eternal life in heaven surrounded by his loving family, one day shy of his 62nd birthday.
Sam was born on Jan. 13, 1962, in Onaga to parents Blair Eddy Bahret and Carol Ann (Elder) Bahret. It was a very lively household with 11 siblings. Sam graduated from Onaga High School in 1980.

Sam retired from USD 372 Silver Lake School District where he was a custodian. In his spare time he enjoyed playing horseshoes, working with cattle on the farm, hunting, spending time with his family, grandchildren and attending their activities.
He was preceded in death by his parents; a brother, Roscoe Bahret; and a sister, Illa Kay Koblar.
