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.

Derek Ecklund wrote: Braden was a good friend of mine and he will be 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.

The funeral arrangements were entrusted to Wes Banbury of Tubman Cremation and Funeral Services, Wolseley, Saskatchewan, Canada, 1-800-667-8962.

Anyone that knew Braden or didn't know him is welcome to leave a tribute. It means alot when we hear how he had touched someone's life. It is comforting to know that his memory and his impact on others lives on as you share your stories about him.
