Michael Jay Bozeman passed away peacefully surrounded by family on June 2. Mike was born on April 5, 1944 to Ethel and Jay Bozeman of Vallejo, who preceded him in death. He graduated from Vallejo High School in 1962 and attended St. Vincent's from Kindergarten through 11th grade. Mike served in the United States Air Force from 1962-1966. He worked in several areas, including restaurant and business management, sales, and roofing. He enjoyed hunting and fishing and spent many memorable times at his Arnold Ranch Duck Club. He, like his father, was an accomplished billiards' player. Mike was many things to many people: a devoted husband, a loving father and grandfather, a doting son and son-in-law, a wonderful brother and brother-in-law, a fun and crazy uncle, and a loyal friend! Mike was just a phone call away for anyone in need of a helping hand, and he will be fondly remembered for his generosity, compassion, and sparkling smile. Of course, his vehicles adorned with "Texas longhorns" will be missed by all! Mike is survived by his wife, Patsy Bozeman; son, Jeffrey (Jami) McDermott; daughters, Jessica (Sean) Grech and Pamela Snider (Tim) Stephens; grandsons, Charles Jay Grech and Colin Michael Grech; sister, Sharon (Jeffrey) Nunn; mother-in-law, Rose Marie Medeiros; sisters-in-law, Karen (Dan) Dion and Denise (Gerry) Fisher; brothers-in-law, David (Suzanne) Medeiros and Robert (Liz) Medeiros; nine nieces, and four nephews.
