DENNIS VIKEN April 30, 1943 ~ January 5, 2025
Dennis Viken passed away at the Medicine Hat Regional Hospital on Sunday, January 5, 2025. Dennis is survived by his sisters, Joyce (Gary) Swaney and Shirley Kleinknecht as well as his brother, Roger. He also leaves behind five nieces and two nephews. Dennis was predeceased by his parents, Louis and Joan Viken as well as his brothers, Glenn (Jean) Viken and Steven in infancy.
Dennis was born in Medicine Hat on April 30, 1943. In 1949, the family moved to a farm where Dennis would spend most of his life. Even before reaching his teenage years, he took to driving the tractor, beginning a lifelong dedication to farming and cattle ranching. Although Dennis lived in Medicine Hat starting in 2022, his heart and mind always remained with his antique tractors and his ranching and farming operation.
A Private Celebration has taken place. If friends so desire, tributes in memory of Dennis may be made to the charity of one’s choice. (Condolences may be expressed by visiting our website at www.cooksouthland.com) Honoured to serve the family is
