Simon Robert Boyer

Simon “Sam” Robert Boyer, age 78, passed away on April 6, 2026, in Parker, Colorado. He was born on February 27, 1948, in Wadena, Minnesota, to John and Matilda Boyer. He was the 11th of 12 children and was preceded in death by his parents, as well as four brothers and three sisters.

Sam was the beloved husband of Linda (Dibble) Boyer, whom he married on June 27, 1970. Together, they built a life centered on family, hard work, and shared values. He was a proud father to Edward Boyer (Laura Boyer) of Aurora, Colorado and Karin (Boyer) Ruser (Scott Ruser) of Hudson, Colorado. He was a devoted grandfather to Madison Ruser of Brighton, Colorado, Elizabeth Boyer of Aurora, Colorado, and Chase Ruser of Hudson, Colorado, who brought him immense joy and pride. He is also survived by 4 sisters, many nieces, nephews, and extended family members.

Sam built a successful career in retail operations before transitioning into consulting, where he established his own business and continued to apply his strong work ethic and business insight. He was a firm believer in the American dream, deeply valued the political process, and held great respect for the military, often supporting causes aligned with those beliefs.

In retirement, Sam remained actively engaged in his community. He served as treasurer for his homeowners’ association, where he applied his financial acumen to benefit those around him, and contributed as a member of the Metro Board. He found great enjoyment in caring for his yard, fishing, spending time with his dogs, and, most of all, being with his family.

Sam will be remembered for his unwavering integrity, his dedication to his family, and his quiet contributions to his community—leaving a legacy that will continue through the lives of those who knew and loved him.

In keeping with his wishes and nature, a private service will be held for immediate family.
