 Soren
Michael Klanderud, a graduate of Rocky Mountain
Academy, Bonners Ferry, died on March 29, 2013,
in Aspen, Colorado. Funeral services will be
held Friday, April 5, at St. Mary Catholic
Church in Aspen; the rosary at 10:30 a.m.
followed by the Mass of the Resurrection at 11
a.m. All are invited to a reception at noon at
the church.
He was born to Dr. Douglas Channing Klanderud
and Helen Kalin Klanderud on April 27, 1968, in
Denver, Colorado.
Soren’s mother brought him, his brothers, and
twin sister to Aspen in 1971. He attended Aspen
public schools and Rocky Mountain Academy in
Bonners Ferry, Idaho, from which he graduated.
He lived and worked in Aspen his entire life.
He is survived by his mother, Helen, twin sister
Kaela, brothers Kurt and Erik; nephews
Christopher and Conor; aunt Louise; uncle Frank;
cousins Dierdre, Daniel, Jack, Shannon, Theresa,
Mary Jo and Judy. His father, Douglas, preceded
him in death.
Soren was a little bit country and a little bit
rock ‘n roll. A committed and hard worker, he
was generous and kind. He was quick to help
others, and loved and laughed much. He was the
best of friends; his beautiful, childlike
qualities were often overshadowed by the
darkness of his demons, and he struggled long
and hard. His family hopes that he has now found
the peace that eluded him in this life.
