Michael Allen Boen the son of Lavon and Shirley Allen Boen Riley was born September 16, 1964 in Russellville, Arkansas. As a young boy he and his family moved to Oklahoma. They settled in the Claremore area where he attended school. Later Mike left Oklahoma and moved to Nebraska where he started his truck driving career. A short time later he met Annette Tines in Indianola. They married July 19, 1986 in Cambridge, Nebraska. They made their home there until moving to Claremore in 2001. He then started his own dump truck business named Boen Trucking. After being on his own for a while the open road called Mike back. He then began working for Miller trucking. He would work there for the next 10 years until his health forced him to retire.
