Brian Boback

Brian (Bo) Boback, 52, went to his eternal resting place in heaven on Sunday, September 26, 2021 after a long fought medical battle. Brian was a beloved friend to all who knew him. He was born in Erie on August 19, 1969. He is a graduate of St. John the Baptist and Cathedral Prep, class of 1988.
Bo was an avid sports fan. He would watch just about any sporting event but he had a true love for the Ohio State Buckeyes, the Dallas Cowboys and the Red Sox. Bo loved to spend time with his friends and engage in spirited conversations. He enjoyed being outdoors and loved hiking, kayaking, swimming and when he was with you, you always had a great time. He loved music and was a big fan of the Erie Phil Harmonic.
Brian leaves to cherish and celebrate his life Frank and Cindy Drake (Shawn, Nicole and Heather), Mary Zamierowski (Todd, Joe, Jill, Jen and Mike Z- and his family), George and Christine Simon (Korey and Katie), Bill and Diane Ball (and family), Joe DiBello (and family) Tim Hess (and family), Rick Simon (and family), Robert Culbertson (and family), and far too many friends who were his family that are too numerous to mention. He is our FOREVER FRIEND and BROTHER and will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
