EDWARD BAHR
Edward Allan Bahr, age 55, a long-time resident of Delaware, Ohio, passed away on March 8, 2026, from complications related to Early Onset Alzheimer’s. He was born on July 31, 1970, in Wheeling, West Virginia to Clark Bahr and the late Patricia (nee Lawrence) Bahr formerly of St. Clairsville, Ohio.
Ed loved helping people and dedicated his adult life to serving as a first responder. His gentleness, ability to perform well under pressure, and his eagerness to assist those in times of crisis will long be remembered.
Ed is survived by his devoted wife Meg (nee Baseore) Bahr of 21 years, their daughter Grace Bahr, who is presently enrolled at The Ohio State University, and his best friend / dog companion, Buttercup. Despite all the ways he served his community, Ed always claimed that his greatest accomplishment in life was being Grace’s dad.
Also surviving are Ed’s father Clark Bahr, his sister Carla (Dennis) Jalowiec of North Ridgeville, niece Rachel (Zach) Jalowiec-Bartlett of North Ridgeville, niece Allison Jalowiec and her partner Ryan Venable of Chicago, Illinois, and father-in- law Fred Baseore of Delaware.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Grace Bahr’s Education in Memory of Ed via GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/ 5dfdf6004.
