Gary Bohrn

Gary Keith Bohrn, 77 of Hansen, ID passed away on Sunday, October 6, 2024, at home.

Gary was born on August 7, 1947, in Marysville, CA, one of five sons born to Woodrow and Ruby (Summers) Bohrn. Gary’s family moved to Twin Falls, ID in 1963 during his Jr. year of high school, and he graduated from Twin Falls Highschool in 1965.

Gary worked on many construction sites as a young man, including the Hansen Bridge in 1965 with his brothers, he also worked on two water tanks in Twin Falls, ID (Falls Ave & South Washington St.), and he built numerous homes with his brothers up until 1969. He then took a job at Baker’s RV and enjoyed his time there until 1983 when the company was sold. In 1983 he accepted a position at Twin Falls County Parks and Waterways where he spent the next 23 years. He loved his job as Parks Foreman and was saddened when he had to retire early after an injury sustained on the job.

Gary married Tonette (Hall) Bohrn in 1979 and moved to Hansen, ID where they raised their three children, and he volunteered as a fire fighter and Hansen City Fire Chief. Gary had a terrific sense of humor and loved a good joke. He loved spending time with his family, traveling, camping, fishing and hunting. He loved razzing the Fish and Game wardens whenever he had a chance about the antelope draw which he entered every year for over 5 decades and never successfully drew. 

Gary was preceded in death by his father Woodrow Bohrn, mother Ruby Bohrn, brother Billy Bohrn, brother Wayne Bohrn, brother Woodrow Bohrn Jr. and brother in-law Glenn Hall. He leaves behind his beloved wife of 45 years Tonette Bohrn; daughters Adrienne Speirs (Michael) and Nicole Bohrn (Andy Jackson); son Gary Bohrn Jr. (Christina); brother Anthony Bohrn (Rosa), seven wonderful grandchildren; Makenzie Speirs, Shaun Speirs (Tayla), Jaimen Speirs, Preston Bohrn, Madyson Bohrn, Mason Bohrn and Ashlyn Bohrn, and numerous cousins, nephews and nieces.

He will be missed greatly by his friends and family, but they are comforted knowing that he is with family fishing, hunting and camping to his heart’s content. A celebration of Gary’s 77 years of life will be announced at a future date.
