The following is the eulogy as given by sister Tara:

Braden Larry Dimler was born in Broadview, Sask. to Larry and Ann
Dimler on January 22, 1987. Braden passed away suddenly on August 6,
2006. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. He had a great
impact on so many peoples lives and his loving, caring, unselfish, easy
going spirit will live on.

Braden lived most of his life on the family farm near Grenfell, Sask. He
attended Broadview School from kindergarten to Grade 12. He helped
with the farming and for a couple of years also worked for Kilback Stock
Farm. After graduating high school, he moved to Regina, Sask. and
worked with Ramjet Contracting Ltd. at the Coop Refinery for 5 months.
In January of 2006 he moved to Prince Albert, Sask. to further his
education. He attended SIAST – Woodland Campus from January -
June 2006, to take the electrician course. After completing the first
portion of this course, he moved to Edmonton, Alta. to apprentice as an
electrician, working for Sierra Electric Ltd. until the time of his death.

Braden was predeceased by his paternal grandfather John Dimler;
maternal grandfather Alex Kaczmar and his infant nephew Lucas Klein.
Braden is survived by his loving parents Larry and Ann Dimler; three
sisters: Shantelle (Mark) Klein and their daughter Jaden of Broadview,
SK; Tara Dimler of San Jose, California, U.S.A. and Christy Dimler
(friend Tony Fortin) of Edmonton, AB.; grandmothers Victoria Dimler
of Grenfell, SK and Elizabeth Kaczmar of Broadview, SK. and numerous
aunts, uncles and cousins.

Braden was our unexpected bundle of joy from heaven. He was the most
caring person, loved by all. Even when he was small, his heart was so
big. He would do anything for anybody. One of his elementary school
teachers said, “he was very bright, always polite and saw the funny side
of things.” His fun loving attitude and sense of humour were some of his
greatest qualities. There was never a dull moment when Braden was
around. At his high school graduation it was mentioned that “he had the
ability to make an entire cranky class burst out laughing because of his
very strong sense of humour and laughter is a very good medicine.”

He was blessed with many gifts and talents; everything came so easily
for him. He was intelligent, athletic, hardworking, dedicated and very
independent. He had the biggest heart of gold; he was always willing to
help anybody out with anything. He touched many people’s hearts in
one-way or another.

I would like to share with you two letters that his dear friends wrote:
Jared Kemp wrote: Braden was a great person and an even better friend.
I loved his sense of humor; he could always make me laugh. He was one
of the smartest people I knew, in school he knew a lot about everything,
especially history, sports and movie trivia. He was the guy that everyone
wanted to hang out with. Braden was always eating and loved his mom’s
food and lunches. I know he enjoyed the evening drives, looking for deer
with his dad. It’s hard for guys to express their feelings but I know
Braden loved you both very much. You were very supportive and caring
parents. Braden and I shared some really great times together. I was
proud to be his friend and I’m honored to be his pallbearer. I will miss
Braden but I will never forget him.

missed dearly by all who knew him. I knew him as a hardworking
person, who had a heart of gold. He was a trustworthy friend who could
bring a smile to anyone’s face and brighten their day no matter what the
circumstances were. I’m not sure what else I can say except that there
need to be more Braden Dimler’s out there. But no one will ever
compare to the son that you raised. I am so very thankful to have had a
friend like Braden.

He loved the great outdoors, doing such things as hunting, fishing and
hiking. He enjoyed the evening drives with his dad or hiking with his
brother-in-law Mark looking for deer. He spent a lot of time playing
hockey or golfing. Hanging out with friends was his favorite pastime.

He was the greatest son, the sweetest little brother, a cherished
grandson, the most adored uncle, the dearest friend, cousin, nephew and
a very dedicated employee.

Braden, we feel very blessed to have had you with us for the short time
that we did. You are missed beyond measure and your memory will live
in our hearts forever…until we meet again.
