Danen Ehalt
October 13, 1990 - September 22, 2017

It is with broken hearts and profound sadness that we, the family of Danen Douglas Ehalt of Watson, SK, (and formerly of Lanigan, SK), announce his sudden and unexpected passing near Watson on Friday, September 22, 2017.”  He was 26 years of age.  Danen was born to Doug and Bev (nee Rucks) Ehalt on October 13, 1990, at Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon, SK. He grew up in Lanigan where he attended both Elementary and Highschool, graduating in 2008.  Danen was a very active boy who was always on the move, and usually into something. He never walked! Everything was full speed ahead!  He was always happy and lit up every room he entered, a gift he never lost! Danen enjoyed playing with friends, loved to draw, read, and play video games. He ran cross-country and track events. In his later life, he took up MMA, mixed martial arts, which he really enjoyed. As well, he was an avid Rider’s fan and attended several games.  Other passions were fishing, hunting, and the outdoors.  Danen’s quick wit and sense of humour made him fun to be around, and his love for pranks, a little dangerous! His family and friends were victims of his many pranks, which we will miss immensely!  Danen joined the Lanigan Air Cadets in 2002, and loved every minute of it! He won several awards in Cadets, including most improved shot, which he was very proud of.  He learned many skills and made many friends. He worked a summer in Cold Lake AB, as a camp attendant instructing kids. In 2011, he started working at Doepker Industries in Annaheim. During his employment there, he learned many different areas of manufacturing and was able to go wherever he was needed. He was an eager learner, always wanting to advance himself. In 2012, Danen met Chantel Bauer and they were rarely apart since. They moved to Watson in 2015 and recently bought a house there and were just starting to renovate it.  Danen is survived by his girlfriend, Chantel Bauer; his parents, Doug and Bev Ehalt of Humboldt; and his younger brother, Chad Ehalt of Lanigan. He is also survived by maternal grandmother, Jeanne (nee Thompson) Rucks; uncles and aunts: Randy Ehalt of Calgary, AB; Gordon (Donna) Ehalt of Pierceland, SK; Kathy Loessl (Johnny Hofmann), and Marilyn Pratchler, all of Humboldt; Ron (Carole) Rucks of Prince Albert, SK; Kathy(Clay) Brander of Saskatoon, SK;  Tim (Kim) Rucks of Warman, SK; and Ellen (Morley) Strong of Drake, SK; numerous cousins; and by members of the Bauer family.   As well, he will be missed by many co-workers and friends, as his love of life made everyone he met, love him. He leaves a huge hole in our hearts!  Danen was predeceased by his paternal grandparents, Willard and Ruth (nee Schiltz) Ehalt; and his maternal grandfather, Alfred Rucks.  Danen’s  Celebration of  Life was held at the Lanigan Community Hall on Saturday, September 30, 2017, at 2:00 p.m., led by Dawn Brouillette.  Others taking part were:   Natalie Lohman, poem and prayer; and Jordyn and Taylor Rucks, musical tribute.   The urn bearer was Chad Ehalt.  An honor guard was formed by members of the Kinsmen.  A Private Family Interment Service will take place at the Lanigan Lutheran Cemetery at a later date.  Memorial donations may be directed to Telemiracle, Kinsmen Foundation Inc., 2217C Hanselman Court, Saskatoon, SK, S7L 6A8.
