Words could never express the feeling of losing someone so close & special to your heart. Bo was truly one of a kind. He always showed up & showed out. Handing me 100 dollars just cause i said i was going shopping. Traveling long hours to get me when he never had to. Bo did things because he wanted to and because he truly cared for his family. Thats the type of person he was. I would get in the car and not shut up for half the trip, talking about everything that had been happening in my life, good or bad, in the last few weeks since i'd last seen them. And he never said a word about it. I'll hold those conversations and laughs so close to my heart forever. His support and his advice never went unnoticed. I remember one trip in particular when he told me "If it makes you happy don't quit just because someone don't support it, You gotta do what makes you happy no matter what." And those words have truly stuck with me since i heard them. This has been weighing on my heart since I got the news. It's gonna be different not having him around on the holidays and seeing him get out of the car with mom when its time for me to come up. My heart is hurting but i know he's not hurting anymore. And i know heaven will be good to him. I love you, Bo. 💛

I have so many beautiful memories with BoBo. Bo was always there for my daughter. He loved her and she loved him. He would come over every day and they would go on a walk outside. He showed up to every single one of her events from her baby shower to her last birthday party. He opened up his home to us to take shelter in his basement through every bad storm. We were in the basement with him during the Bremen tornadoes. My favorite memories with Bo are from when we went to Tybee Island. He loved Tybee and I remember him saying “just breathing the air down here makes you feel better”. He was so happy getting to share Ella’s first beach experience with her. I will always remember the love he had for Ella and I and carry his memory with me. Until we meet again, BoBo! We’ll sit down and have some coffee and talk politics one more time. ❤️
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
