Aug. 12, 1974-Aug. 2, 2024
John Thomas Bosley, age 49, the son of Roy Thomas Bosley and Carol Ann Bensen, was born in Ogden, Utah, into a most loving, perfectly imperfect family. John grew up always being a quite unique human. John loved the outdoors and always attributed this love to the efforts of his grandparents Norma and George Holbrook (Nanny and Grandpa) who made his early childhood unforgettable. John was loved by so many people and his smile charmed and lit up any room, any situation, any time — guaranteed. The hardest working, most loyal and reliable employee, John always took great pride in his work ethic and integrity.
Like all souls, John had his struggles in life. Addiction was one of them and didn’t always allow for a peaceful, happy life. Nevertheless, John leaves us all today with the most beautiful lesson of love, intention and perseverance. He lived the last nine years of his life in active recovery and re-writing the story of his life, creating for himself the most beautiful blended family. John will be irreplaceable and his example will be forever treasured and admired by his wife and children. Life will seem very quiet without John in it, but his spirit will live loudly in all of us for the rest of our lives.
John is survived by his wife Cristina and their three children Alani Cristina, Sean Thomas and Avalon Cristina
He was preceded in death by Roy Thomas Bosley and Carol Ann Bensen.
