Samuel Neuharth Obituary

Samuel L. Neuharth Sr. passed away on September 16th, 2010 at the age of 58 in Everett, Washington, surrounded by his loving children. Sam served his country through the U.S. Air Force and then retired with a career at the Sparks Police Department. Sam was a man of honor, integrity and respect. He was a man of few words but he had a heart of gold. He is survived by his children; Rachel Houser, Aric Neuharth, Samuel Neuharth II, Darcy Todd and his eight grandchildren. He also leaves behind his two brothers and sister; Bill Kemp, David Tomasi and Lisa Kemp. A memorial service and reception to celebrate Sammy's life will be held on October 18th in Sparks, NV. Sam will also be put to rest by the scattering of his ashes in Hawaii at a private ceremony in which he will be reunited with his loving wife Tylee; they will be forever free to swim with the turtles, together again.

To Sam Jr. and the entire Neuharth family...I knew Sam from our respective careers in the law enforcement profession here in the Truckee Meadows. Sam was a standup individual, a dedicated and professional law enforcement officer, and a man who loved his family. My prayers and condolences to the Neuharth family...he is now in the next phase of life with his wife and enjoying all there is to offer there..despite the fact that he will be truly missed here! The world was a better place with Sam Neuharth in it and is a lesser one now with him gone! God speed my friend!!!
