Harry Johannes Behmerwohld

Harry Johannes Behmerwohld, of Heron, Montana passed away on Sunday, December 3, 2023 at his son’s home, in Rathdrum, Idaho after a long battle, with cancer.    He was surrounded by his family and was 93 years old.

Harry was born in Dilo, Montana on June 28, 1930 to his parents Hones Behmerwohld and Bertha Tempero.  Heron has been his home since 1932.

He is survived by his 3 children Vernon (Sherryl) Behmerwohld, Harry Behmerwohld Jr, and Barbara (Ed) Calhoun, his 2 brothers Walt (Donna) Behmerwohld, and Manford (Marvel) Tempero as well as 12  grandchildren, 31 great grandchildren, 10 great great grandchildren, and countless other nieces and nephews.  

He was preceded in death by both his parents, his wife Genevieve (Jenny) Behmerwohld, his brother Evert Behmerwohld, and his youngest daughter Shirley Solce.  

Harry was loved by all who knew him.  You could always expect fresh coffee and an open door.  He had an intense love for his family and was always present to lend a hand to his community, serving as a resident small engine genius.   He enjoyed family/friend gatherings and live music, where you would find him tapping his feet to the beat, with each new song.  He will be missed by many.
