Aidan Rilie Boede

Aidan Rilie Boede went to dance with the Angels on May 25, 2014 at the young age of 17.

He was born March 14, 1997 in Pendleton, Oregon to September Boede. Aidan started his life in Athena with his mom and grandma Teresa. He was welcomed with open arms from members of the Athena Christian Church, the Athena Baptist Church and the entire community. There are far too many people to list that have mentored, guided, and influenced Aidan at such a young age. From the minute Aidan started walking and talking, his family knew he would be a great friend to anyone he would meet. He would go camping and fishing with his grandma, mom and aunts all the time and really loved being outside.

Aidan would later move to Walla Walla with his mom and sisters, Sydnie and Gabby. As soon as he was old enough, he would start football and quickly realized how good he was at sports. He tried out and made every team he wanted, spending his summers going to football camps and wrestling camps with the help of many coaches and teachers. He greatly appreciated them and enjoyed going.

Aidan loved his friends and if you ever met him, you would have had the biggest hug ever. He loved being active and being out with his many friends. Aidan loved his family and would always tell everyone about his mom and sisters. He was loved by all and his entire family is so incredibly proud of him.

He is survived by his mother September Boede of Walla Walla; sisters, Sydnie Boede and Gabriellla Abundis of Walla Walla; grandma, Teresa Parker and cousin, Cody of Athena; aunt Kimberly Monroe and uncle Pad Monroe and cousins, Tyson and Hailey of Pendleton, Oregon; aunt, Shannon Boede of Hermiston, Oregon; cousins, Zoie of Athena and KeeAnn of La Grande Oregon; uncle, Jeremy Bergstad of Salem, Oregon, several great aunts, uncles and cousins. Aidan is preceded in death by his great grandpa Jack Boede and great grandpa Clayton and grandpa roger.

A memorial service will be held for anyone wanting to attend and share their many wonderful stories about about Aidan at the Athena Christian Church on Saturday, May 31, 2014 at 11 AM with a gathering afterwards.
