David William Bosh, 56, of Lawrence, Kansas, passed away after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Born in Denver, Colorado, to the late James Joseph Bosh and Louise Helen Neal, David graduated from Shawnee Mission Northwest High School and went on to serve four years in the U.S. Army. He later worked for many years in civil service for the U.S. Coast Guard, continuing in that role up until his passing.
David was known for his intelligence, resilience, quick wit, and sense of humor. He loved music and collecting records, working on his home in Lawrence, and cheering for his beloved Kansas City Chiefs. Above all, he was a devoted father, son, brother, and friend who deeply loved his family.
He is survived by his son, Jack Bosh; his mother, Louise Neal; his sister, Jennifer Medellin, and brother-in-law, Ricardo Medellin; his brother, William Pile; one nephew; and many nieces. A celebration of David's life will be held in March 2026, with details to be announced at a later date.
