Bo’s brief life was marked so many great moments and wonderful memories.
As a child, Bo’s favorite T.V. programs were The Waltons, Transformers, Super Friends, and Thunder Cats. Each night, Bo insisted that everyone had to say “Goodnight, John Boy” before he would fall asleep.
During his school years, he was involved in sports including football, wrestling, and track. He made many friends through sports as well as outside of athletics.
Bo had a great sense of humor and loved pulling off a good prank. He loved movies and could quote lines word for word. He loved a good joke, too. Bo liked many genres of music and he expressed himself through music. He was a die-hard Harley-Davidson man, right down to his underwear. His true pride and joy was his 2004 Dyna Wide Glide Harley-Davidson. He referred to his motorcycle as “the love of his life,” Whenever Bo wanted to ride, he would say it was time for “wind therapy.”
Bo lived in Florida for 10 years and it was there he found another love and passion; being a Welder Fabricator/Shop Foreman. Heart problems forced him into retirement, and he returned to Nebraska.
Bo loved to help family, friends, and even strangers when he could. Bo loved spending quality time with his family and friends, he had a BIG heart and loved deeply. He left this world having touched many lives and he leaves an immeasurable number of memories to recall.
Bo’s love lives on in his mother (Barb), sister (Amy), daughter (Breanna), son (Austin), three grandchildren, and numerous other family member and friends. He also leaves behind his beloved pets, his dapple dachshund (Snuggles, aka. Baby Girl) and his chatty cat (Stormy).
Preceded in death by his father Edward, stepfather Doug Parker, uncle Gene Riser, and aunt Carol Stutzman.
Bo will always be missed, never forgotten, and forever loved.
