Obituary of Dennis Boden

Dennis was born on September 19, 1962 in Camrose, Alberta. He passed away on January 17, 2017 at St. Mary's Hospital, with his family by his side, after a courageous battle with cancer. Dennis grew up on the farm just outside of Edberg where he learned everything about the family trucking business. He married Karen Coen of Ferintosh on April 29, 1989. Their son Dylan was born in June 1991, and son Brandon was born in November 1993. Dennis, Karen, Dylan and Brandon eventually moved to the farm by Edberg and took over the family trucking business. They later expanded the business to include a very productive and busy gravel pit. Dennis took great pride in the family business, "Boden Sand & Gravel Supplies". He enjoyed teaching his sons everything there was to know about driving trucks, operating equipment, and of course the maintenance and fixing that goes along with this type of work. Dennis is survived by his wife Karen; sons Dylan and Brandon (Lindsay); sisters Shirley (Les) Erickson and Sharon (Jeff) Banack; father-in-law Hans Coen; sisters-in-law Julie (Craig) Lindholm, Patty Anderson (Rob Staldeker); brother-in-law Michael (Laura) Coen; numerous nieces and nephews, and many, many friends. Dennis was predeceased by his parents Ted and Florence Boden, mother-in-law Ruby Coen, and brother-in-law Brian Anderson. A Funeral Service was held at 1:00 p.m. Tuesday, January 24, 2017 from CityLights Church with Rev. Brian Hunter officiating. Interment has taken place in Edberg Lakeview Cemetery. If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to the Edberg Lakeview Cemetery (Box 160 Edberg T0B 1J0), or to the Hospice Society of Camrose and District (Box 1891 Camrose T4V 1X8).
