He was the son of Reuben Fred Bechen and Elizabeth E. Mader.
Marriage1 December 1951Edward Reuben Bechen married Joyce Lohse on 1 December 1951.
Death13 December 2016Edward Reuben Bechen died on 13 December 2016 at age 85 Edward Bechen, 85 of Mitchell formerly of Artesian died Tuesday, December 13, 2016 at Avera Queen of Peace Hospital in Mitchell. Funeral services will be 11:00 AM Monday December 19, 2016 at Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Mitchell. Burial will be at Mount Pleasant Cemetery in Artesian. Visitation will be from 5-7:00 PM Sunday with a prayer service at 7:00 PM at the Bittner Funeral Chapel. A memorial has been established.

Edward Reuben Bechen was born April 10, 1931 in Belvidere, SD to Reuben and Elizabeth (Mader) Bechen. They lived near Kadoka, SD until the family settled on a farm near Artesian, SD. Ed boarded in Mitchell and attended Notre Dame Academy his freshman year of high school. He then attended and graduated from Artesian High School in 1948.

Ed found the love of his life, Joyce Lohse. They were united in marriage on December 1, 1951 at Holy Family Catholic Church in Mitchell SD. Ed enlisted in the US Air Force which took them to Denver, CO and San Antonio, TX where Richard was born. He specialized in training pilots with simulation equipment for the B52 bomber which stationed Ed and his family in Limestone, ME. After Ed was discharged from the USAF, they made their home on the Hollander farm north of Artesian. Soon after, the family welcomed Steven, Deb, and Sharon.

Ed farmed on the original Hollander homestead with his son Richard and grandson Ryan until his retirement and death. He leaves the farm to the 4th and 5th generations to carry on the family tradition of farming. Throughout the years, Ed raised exceptional Angus cattle and took pride in his bountiful crops. He always had a knack for keeping the equipment and vehicles spotless. As the years went by, the hogs and finally the sheep went by the way side. This allowed them to move more cash crops such as grain and alfalfa. Ed was proud of the farm and enjoyed watching his son and grandson take over the family farm. You could always find Ed either driving around the section in the pick-up or putzing around on the 4-wheeler with his side kick, Jazz. If he wasn’t driving around, chances are he was tinkering on something.

Ed was involved with the community as he served several years on the Artesian School Board and the Cenex Board in Woonsocket. He was a member of Holy Spirit Catholic Church, American Legion, Elks Lodge, and Moose Lodge. His love for the fellowship in Moose Lodge 875 and Moose Legion, took him several hundred miles a year to meetings which he enjoyed seeing old friends and making new ones. Ed held several offices including Governor of Lodge 875, regional offices, and obtained the Legion and Fellowship Degrees. He was honored with the Pilgrim Degree on May 22, 2010. This is the Highest Degree Honor and is awarded to very few members across the organization.

Ed is survived by his brothers, Donald of Sandusky, MI and Howard (Mary) of Mitchell, SD. His children and their spouses: Richard (Deanna), Artesian, SD; Steven (Kathryn), San Diego, CA; Deb (Tom) Wettlaufer, Winfred, SD; and Sharon (Marc) Hoelscher, Pierre, SD. Grandchildren: Ryan (Kaci) Bechen, Desirae (Justin) Mayer, Michelle (Jerad Tuff) Wettlaufer, Greg Wettlaufer, Andrea (Ben) Derynck, Megan Wettlaufer, Cole Hoelscher, and Aaron Hoelscher. Great-Grandchildren: Abby and Brent Bechen, Alex and Conner Mayer, and Illa Derynck. And several nieces, nephews, and friends.

Ed was preceded in death by his wife Joyce in October, 2014; parents Reuben and Elizabeth; brother, Russell; sister in-law Marjorie Bechen; niece Christine Mary Bechen; and in-laws Arthur and Hazel Hollander, and Otto Lohse.

Kenneth Earl Remington was born January 25, 1940, at Sacred Heart Hospital in Yankton, SD to William McKinley Remington and Dorothy (Sickmann) Remington. He passed away Tuesday, October 15, 2024, at Avera McKennan Hospital in Sioux Falls, SD after an unexpected short illness. Visitation will be Tuesday, October 22nd from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm at Opsahl-Kostel Funeral Home and Crematory with funeral services on Wednesday, October 23rd at 11:00 am at St. John's Lutheran Church with visitation one hour prior to the service. Lunch will follow the service with burial in Menno, SD at approximately 1:45 pm. Ken requested no prayer service be held.

He would have graduated from Yankton High School in 1958 but chose to join the Air Force instead and served for a brief time. He did finish his education and received his GED on March 3, 1986, showing you are never too old to learn.

In 1960, he worked for a construction company one summer. When summer ended so did the job. He then went to work at the Yankton State Hospital, now known as the SD Human Services Center, in August of 1960. He worked in various positions at HSC including a psychiatric aide, recreational aide in Activities, taught in Staff Development and finally his last position, before retirement, was in Job Placement, finding jobs within the facility for patients and trustees. He was a very caring and compassionate man who did not judge people but accepted them as they are.

On August 6, 1961, he married the love of his life, Lonnie (Simonsen) whom he met while washing out bedpans on Pierce 3. After meeting, he was having lunch with a co-worker, Ona Holmgren and while Lonnie was standing in the lunch line, he told Ona, "I am going to marry that girl." Ona told him she was engaged to another man, and he said he did not care; he was going to marry her, and he wooed her until she relented and agreed to marry him. They celebrated 63 years of marriage this past August.

Ken retired from HSC in 1997 after 37 years of employment. He was not ready to quit working completely so he went to work at Lewis & Clark Behavioral Health as a janitor. He also worked with Lonnie as janitors at what is now Explorers Credit Union. In 2006, he and Lonnie took over the management job at Hillcrest East apartments for 16 years before retiring completely and moving to their current home.

Ken went through many stages of life and Jan can remember when he used to sit and talk on the CB radio with his handle of "Moccasin Man." He went through a phase of really wanting a motorcycle but settled for a scooter instead, a 650 Suzuki. He rode around town until he felt his health did not allow him to be safe, either for him or others, and sold it. He also was a bowler for a period, bowling with Lonnie, his daughter, Jan, and her then husband, Dan, until his health forced him to discontinue that hobby. He continued to enjoy watching bowling by spending time with Lonnie on the Tuesday Night Doubles League and watching his great granddaughter, Aubrey, participate on the YHS bowling team when he could.

As you can see, Ken lived a full life and he is survived by his wife, Lonnie, and daughter, Jan Putnam, Gayville. Although Ken came from a large family, he only had a small close tight-knit family so was blessed with two grandchildren, Christopher Putnam, Yankton, Nicole Putnam (Fiancé Cody Jansen), Vermillion and one great granddaughter, Aubrey Putnam. Other surviving relatives include his brother, Robert Remington, Fullerton, CA, sister, Wilma Jean (Jeanie) Simonsen, Menno and brother-in-law, Roger Simonsen, Menno. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews from the large family growing up.

He was preceded in death by his parents, William and Dorothy, brothers William (Billy Joe) and Donald along with his sisters Dolores Christensen, Dorothy Sylliaasen and Mary Cline.

Pallbearers for his service will be Roger Hora, Cody Jansen, Mark Katterhagen, Jerry Kohoutek, Scott Simonsen and Tim Simonsen. Honorary Pallbearers: Christopher Putnam, Nicole Putnam, Aubrey Putnam and the ROMEOs (Retired Old Men Eating Out group).
