Benjamin Mark Bahner

To the Bahner family, Mary and girls, JoAnn, Jay, Vonel and Dee, we were so shocked to hear of Ben's passing. We will always remember Ben and extend our deepest sympathy to all of your families. It's been a number of years since we've seen Ben, but have known all of you for so many years. We feel so sad for all of you. God bless each one of you and give you all strength at this difficult time.

They say you never forget your first love, and it is true. I will never forget Ben. He was a huge influence on my life.
My deepest condolences to his family, you were alway so kind to me.
To Mary and your daughters, I will never find the right words to say to you. I hope you find some peace in each other.
I am very sorry not to have known in time to attend his service. My thoughts are with all of you.
Good bye Ben!

Ben had been a part in our lives for many years prior to moving to Nevada. We had spent a lot of time together doing different things. He was part of our wedding and other special events in our lives. It was nice to see changes as we get older and Ben was no exception fitting nicely in the role of husband and father. Unfortunately we loss touch when he moved to Nevada with his family. We will miss him. Our hearts and thoughts are with you Mary and your family. Kim & Jerry.

Ben lived across the street from me for several years. I always enjoyed visiting with him. I got to see him grow up. I still think of him as the nice but little bit wild kid, even though I know he out grew that. I am very sorry to here about this. My best to all the family. He will be missed. Tim Bridgeford

Dear Mary and Family members,

I am deeply sorry to hear of your loss. I have very fond memories of
Ben and all of us at different times in our life. I have often asked how everyone was when I saw family members. I will never forget him. Mary- take care my thoughts and prayers are with you all. I will be there in Redding on Monday.

God Bless,

Lori

We were sorry to read of Ben's passing. He was a very kind and caring person and we are glad he touched our lives. Our condolescences to JoAnn, Mary and girls.

Ben and I were friends in the 1980's. We ran around and did the Jeepn stuff. Ben was a good friend to me. We lost track when he moved away. Then we caught back up and I met his wife Mary at Ruth Lake one summer. Ben seemed very happy and happier than I had seen him in some time. They made a good pair. I'll miss you but remember the good times we shared. My wife Sherri and I would like to express our heart felt wishes of caring and sympathy to your family. Words could never ease your loss but...
