Warren "Duke" Boeve was born to Gertrude Winifred Boeve and Bert Boeve in Luverne, Minnesota, on August 4th, 1945. Warren was an active member of his church, where he served as an offering usher, a Gideon, and a board member, and was a member of the United States Junior Chamber. He was also a former Washington County Sheriff's Posse President and served for six years in the United States Navy. Due to Warren's love of horses, he was a member of the American Quarter Horse Association and spent his time riding and taking care of horses. He loved working on his farm in Minnesota and spending time with his family. His career included working for All Star Automotive Group, Oaks, and Ceranti for up to 20 years, and serving his Greenville community by driving for many charity events.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Bert and Gertrude Boeve. He is survived by his devoted wife, Rita Boeve of Greenville, as well as his three children: Kimberly Davis (Bruce) of Greenville, MS, Yvette McPherson (Russ) of Leland, MS, and Tara Lewis (Jeremy) of Cypress, Texas. Along with his two siblings: Celia Allen (Rory) of Harrison, Arkansas, and Evelyn Sandstede (Don) of Queen Creek, Arizona.
He is also survived by six grandchildren: Tyler Williford (Laura Baker), Kelsey Davis-Kent (Cannon), Peyton McPherson, Luke McPherson, Gabrielle Lewis, and Savannah Lewis, and two great-grandchildren: Ada and Arlo Williford, and several nieces and nephews.

Warren was a classmate of mine, I consider him a good friend and enjoyed many good times with him. It was great to meet up again at class reunions and also to meet his dear wife Rita.
Please know Rita and family that you all are in my thoughts and prayers. We lost one of the best..

Warren was my neighbor growing up, and shared my experience as a classmate in a one room schoolhouse. He left for "town school" in Beaver Creek before I did, but we were reunited as classmates when I transferred to BC . He was a fun loving , always kind person, an athlete, and the only classmate taller than I was at 13! He kept growing but I was done. We went many years without seeing each other, but have reconnected at reunions over the last 20 years. Still always a kind, fun loving guy. I've enjoyed getting to know Rita and this adult Warren, and know he will be missed by the family he loved so much. We are all poorer for his passing. My sympathy and prayers to his loved ones.
