Hi-O, Jedd was born in North Platte, NE to Dr. Robert & Phyllis (Losh) Bohlender on September 26, 1968. He went to high school at North Platte High and graduated in 1986. After working behind MANY bulls being employed at North Platte Animal Clinic, he went on to earn an EMT/Paramedic degree in 1996 from Mid Plains Community College. He worked as a Fireman/Paramedic for Grand Island Station 1 & 3 for 21 years. He was involved in Local I.A.F.F. 647, and Tri-City Safe Kids the first check-up station safeguarding area kids. He never said no to "it's for the kids". Area parents trusted him for his work with their kids. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, being a gun enthusiast, and four wheeling in nearby rivers. He lived for his boys, grandkids, and fire family. His "up-front" acknowledgement of acquiring PTSD, and subsequent dealing with it has helped the fire family community. He was a much loved son, baby brother, father and grandfather.
"Uncle" Jedd is preceded in death by maternal and paternal grandparents, Rev. John & Beatrice Losh, Abe & Mildred Bohlender, and by his Uncle Dr. Jerry Bohlender.
He was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church and the River Rats Association.
Jedd is survived by his sons; Shawn (Reba) of Omaha, Seth, Cody and Bryce of Grand Island, sisters; Tina(Dan) of Scappoose OR, Becky (Jake) of North Platte NE; brother, Todd(Tammy) of Lincoln NE; father, Dr. Robert Bohlender of North Platte; mother Phyllis Bohlender of Scappoose OR; grandchildren; Dexter, Declynn, Dean of Omaha NE, and numerous nieces and nephews.
