Edward Allen Boura

Edward Allen Boura, age 68 of Grafton, ND passed away on Saturday, August 8, 2026 at the Altru Hospital of Grand Forks, ND after a 7-month battle with cancer. Ed beat the odds many times, but was unable to beat this one.

Edward was born May 15, 1958 in Grafton, ND the youngest son of the late Edward and Anna (Pesek) Boura Sr. He attended schools in Grafton. Ed met his wife Stacy Weiand in 1980 and they were together for 46 years. Ed worked as a mechanic for Simplot in Minto, ND and made many great friends. In 2008 he was involved in a serious motorcycle accident and spent over a month in the Hennepin County Hospital enduring many surgeries to save his leg. He developed an infection which was so severe he had to quit working.

Ed and Stacy had one son, Dylan who was the sunshine of Ed’s life. They had totally opposite interests. Dylan was all about sports, but they both respected the others interests. They never missed a track meet or football game.

Ed was an avid outdoorsman. He loved racing sleds, riding motorcycle’s, hunting and fishing. He was constantly tinkering in his shop reviving old snowmobiles, motorcycle’s, lawn mowers, golf carts, boat motors and the list goes on. He started going to swap meets looking for parts that were hard to find and established many great friends over the years.

Ed is survived by his wife, Stacy, Grafton, ND; his son Dylan of Grand Forks, ND; siblings: James (Mavis) Boura, Grafton, ND; Marie Boura, Grafton, ND; Joanne Anderson of Grand Forks, ND; his aunts: Josephine Johnson, Internation Falls, MN and Doris Pesek, Lawton, ND; nieces and nephews: Scott (Rikki) Boura, Cooperstown, ND; Dean (Sara) Boura, Drayton, ND; Brenda (Kevin) Sevigny, Grafton, ND; Todd (Andrea) Anderson, Thompson, ND and Becky Anderson, Crookston, MN.
