Daniel L. Sampert, 69, was born on Sept. 11, 1949, in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, and he passed from this life on May 18, 2019, after a short, hard-fought battle. Daniel was born and raised in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. He attended school here and graduated from Coeur d’Alene High School. He started working at the early age of 12, delivering the Coeur d’Alene Press. He worked at various jobs as a youth and found his calling as an electrician. Dan worked for several different contractors through the years. His attention to detail and ability to visualize the layout was a strong point, and he was sought after for his expertise.

His hobby was firearms of all types and all that goes with that. He was also talented when it came to working with balsa wood, building radio controlled airplanes. Dan always looked for the good in people as is exampled by the friendship he maintained with his ex-wives, Kathy and Marlene.

Dan was preceded in death by his parents, Leonard R. Sampert and Reny Gissel Sampert. He leaves behind his son, Edward D. Sampert; his daughter, Lynnda L. Sampert; and the light of his life, his two grandchildren, Drake and Emma Sampert, all of Spokane, Wash.; his brother, Ronald J. (Carolyn) Sampert, of Dalton Gardens, Idaho; sister, Lori A. (Jeff) Ross of Newport, Wash. He also leaves behind the best friend and caregiver, Deborah Sampert, and his other best friend, Chris (Rene) Nichols of Athol, Idaho.
