Paul BOEHNKE Obituary

Paul Boehnke, 49 of Spokane passed away November 3rd, 2024, after a short but valiant fight with cancer.

Paul was born on September 11th, 1975, in Colorado Springs, CO, to Norm and Mary Boehnke. Paul graduated from Ferris H.S. and went on to study nursing at Spokane Community College.

After graduating with a nursing degree, he started working as an RN at Sacred Heart. He worked in a few different departments over the years, finally landing his dream job in the Cardiac ICU. He was known for his wild print scrubs and giving his coworkers badge reels with their spirit animals on them. He was well-loved by all his friends.

Paul is survived by his parents, Norm and Mary Boehnke; his sister, Katie (Mike) Ryder; and his beloved cat, Rusty, all of Spokane.

Services will be held at St. Mark's Lutheran Church in Spokane, on November 30th, at 1pm. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in his name to the American Cancer Society.
