Gary Barrett Buehler passed away peacefully at
his home on February 28, 2017. A private
graveside service was held on Saturday, March 4,
at Grand View Cemetery.
Gary was born August 10, 1937, in Sacramento,
California. He was the only child of Jacob Emil
Buehler and Della Isadore Barrett Buehler. He
spent his childhood years growing up on the
Barrett family ranch under the watchful eye of
his beloved grandmother, Rosalie O'Donnell
Barrett.
Gary learned the trade of meat cutting starting
at the age of 14 at Buehler Brothers Meat
Company in Sacramento. That trade served him
throughout his lifetime. In the summer of 1994,
Gary moved his family to North Idaho in search
of a more quiet and peaceful life. He found that
peace in Boundary County.
Gary had a passion for life, whatever he did he
did well and at full throttle. If a little was
good then a lot must be better!
In his lifetime he enjoyed riding motorcycles,
scuba diving, dirt bikes, hunting, fishing,
gardening and family vacations. He loved
antiques and yard sales and he was a familiar
face at Sater's Auction.
As his health declined Gary found joy and
comfort in his close knit family. The
achievements of his grandkids made him proud. At
family gatherings he would be the one holding
the sleeping child. He will be missed!
Gary is survived by his best friend and wife of
42 years, Peggy Buehler, his daughters Eileen
Buehler of Fair Oaks, California, Nati
Summerfield of Moyie Springs, and Becka and
husband Aaron Hegge, also of Moyie Springs,
grandchildren Jeff, Whitney, Katie, Jake, Sam,
Mary and Sara and great grandsons Cooper and
Finn.
Gary was preceded in death by his parents Jake
and Della Buehler and daughter Jeanette Buehler.

My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends-
It gives a lovely light! |
