Bruce Bosserman, 77 of Ozark, Missouri passed away Thursday, May 29, 2025 at 4:59 pm surrounded by his family at Cox South Hospital. He was born on November 23, 1947 in Peace Valley, Missouri to Quinter Daniel and Bernice Ellen (O'Neal) Bosserman.
He was preceded in death by his parents, a sister, Reba Elaine Smith and a nephew, Jeremy Michael Bosserman.
Bruce is survived by his loving wife, Karen of the home; children, Marty Bosserman and wife, Christy of Stockton, Sarah Elizabeth Bosserman of Springfield, Travis Alan Bosserman of Kimberling City, and Mikayla Patten and husband, Zack of Elkland, Jeff Calton of Wheatland, CA, Lisa Henderson of Springfield, Chastidy Pochik and husband, Andy of Carl Junction, and Brandy Blankenship of Springfield; brothers, Ron Bosserman and wife, Faith, Maurice Bosserman and wife, Sandy, Dennis Bosserman and wife, Barbara and sisters, Betty Eckman and husband, Kenny, and Clara Norsworthy.

Bruce was never happier than when he was surrounded by family. Whether he was leading the horses so the little ones could ride, enjoying time at the lake on the boat, or casting a line from the dock, these moments brought him joy. He had a deep love for horses and cherished camping trips with friends, where stories were shared and memories made. He was deeply devoted to his family-no matter how close or distant the relationship-and he was so very loved.
