Nino Bosco Obituary
Nino loved hanging out with his mom and was proud and supportive of her achievements as a fitness competitor and anything else she set out to do. He thoroughly enjoyed his sister's cooking and vowed to make Stephanie his chef when he became rich and famous.
His passion was his music. When depressed or inspired he would create beats and lyrics that expressed his insight, his pain, his love, his frustration, and his fight to live a life filled with purpose and meaning. When our Petaluma little league team went to the World Series, Nino produced the team's theme song and was invited to all signings, dinners and celebrations. He was a professional producer, DJ, and audio engineer, using labels Power Move, Bosco Beats, BossCo Beatmaker and BoscoDaBeatmaker.
"Even with his own struggles he still went out of his way to make others feel good and thought of. His friends and family and those who knew him, saw his goodness and kind spirit. He cared greatly for other's well-being and would always lend a word of encouragement. He along with his music and talent, will be greatly missed indefinitely.
Those who wish may donate in Nino's name to Buckelew Programs For The Mentally Ill Peteluma/Santa Rosa , and a memorial bench with Parks and Recreation.
Friends and family are invited to attend the celebration of life, officiated by Pastor Zach Vesnys, on Saturday, September 7 at 11:11a.m. (Nino's special number) at Calvary Chapel, 1955 South McDowell Blvd., Petaluma,CA. 94954.
Nino's family and friends appreciate your thoughtfulness and well wishes in this time of great loss and grief.

Oh my heart. I dont really have words. Some things take our breath away. I felt my breathe stop the day I read the paper and heard the news. I had to read it ten times. I could not believe it. I didnt want it to be real. Such a bright, brilliant light that struggled so much. A gift to many and heart the size of a Texas and then some. Tears and nothing makes it okay in my heart or mind. Grief is like that. I will ride the ways if everyone else that knew you. You are so missed. I trust Creator has a plan I dont understand. I am so grateful your family told the truth. The truth sets us free. ❤

Nino, I didnt know you long but in that short time I saw your heart of gold in full display with your kindness in dealing with a particular difficult situation. Your warm eyes and gentlemanly conduct was infectious. This world is less without you here but you so deserve the peace, comfort and love that you gained in Heaven. OH the MUSIC there is where you'll find your bliss. I miss you Nino. Maria

Spent some time as young kids together - me, my sister, Stephanie and Nino... and although I dont remember it much, I do remember running into Nino a few times as adults. He was always very sweet, friendly and respectful. We chatted for quite some time a few years back, sharing stories and lifes challenges (in of all places, Costco!)
Nino, I hope you are at peace now. I know you are greatly missed by your mama and sis... along with those whose hearts you touched. Rest In Peace & look out for your two ladies - they still need your love and protection. Enjoy the heavens!

Dear Frauka and Stephanie, I am so sorry for your loss of your Sweet Nino. I could tell from the times I was around him how much he loved his Mother and Sister. I always saw him in a very creative and loving light. It seemed he had a presence about him that was so endearing, yet so powerful. I know he knew how much he was loved by you both and he knows he meant the world to both of you. It takes so much to try to dry your son's/brother's tears. It takes so much also to try and keep your beloved upbeat and strong during such painful parts of their lives. Nino will forever be remembered here on earth and I know that his family will work hard to help other families with similar challenges. He will always be with you, in your heart and soul. Now we know why there are such beautiful scenes as sunsets, sunrises. Such beautiful miracles around us like the butterflies, dragonflies and hummingbirds. These are meant to tell us that heaven and earth are separate, yet together. He is right there with you. When the time comes that he is not a constant thought, he will remind you of his love when you see something beautiful and you will know where he is. I love you both. Peace to you....

Frauka and Stephanie, As you know I was saddened to hear about the loss of Nino. Whether it has been one year or five since I had seen him last, he always had a smile on his face, especially, when he spoke about his music. I hope that you both will find solace in knowing that he is in Gods hands now and that he will guard him from anymore pain.
Rest In Paradise Nino

Hey Nino
I know your in a good place. You were a person I first met that wasnt shy about what was on your mind. You were a great friend, mentor, and music producer. When we first met at Taras PT class at SRJC you were thinking who is this guy. But overtime we became friends, got to know each other, and you made me a mix CD that was amazing to listen to anytime, anywhere in the car. We also remember you for your hard work, ongoing spirit, and dedication to your music. You even told me once what your goal was to do someday with your music. We are going to make that happen and make your music as Big as your Dream was going to be. Thanks for all the memories my friend, I know your in a better place, and God is listening to your music right now. Rest well my friend and be at peace.
Btw: Your Mom and I are going to get a bench put up in Putnum Park where you used to hike. Ill see you one day my friend ❤
