Jeremy Aaron Dasen, 43

Jeremy Aaron Dasen passed away peacefully in Arizona on Sept. 16, 2013, after a long battle with cancer.

Jeremy was born in Kalispell on Sept. 15, 1970, to Richard and Susan Dasen. He graduated from Flathead High School in 1988.

Jeremy was a mechanical engineer and was last working in Knoxville, Tenn., a few short months before his death. He dearly loved his seven children, and spent time doing fun things with them as long as he could. He recently had moved to Arizona where his parents took vigilant care of him until the end.

He is survived by his parents; a brother, Richard Jr., and family; two sisters, Ginny and Sissy, and their families; and his seven children, Jordan, Haley, Ellie, Gabe, Jubilee, Shiloh and Blessing. He also leaves several aunts and uncles, and many cousins who loved him dearly.

The family is planning a memorial for next summer in the Flathead Valley.
