Eric Boshaw Obituary

Published by Legacy on Dec. 31, 2025.
Eric Steven Boshaw passed away peacefully on December 21, 2025, at the hospital, surrounded by those who loved him most.
Eric was a loving and devoted man whose life was defined by curiosity, courage, and connection. Known for his sharp humor, intelligence, and adventurous spirit, he approached life with both enthusiasm and purpose. He found great satisfaction in working with his hands, particularly when building, fixing, and restoring vehicles and mechanical projects. Creating something tangible gave him a deep sense of pride and fulfillment.
Eric cherished the outdoors and time spent with family and friends. He loved fishing, camping, hunting, cooking, playing cards, and gathering around bonfires where laughter and stories flowed freely. Adventure was a constant thread in his life, from mud bogging to trying new experiences that fed his adventurous soul. His magic tricks, jokes, and playful personality brought smiles wherever he went.
Thanksgiving was one of Eric's favorite times of year, a season that reflected his appreciation for family and togetherness. Lake Michigan held a special place in his heart, and those who knew him best fondly remember his small quirks and familiar mannerisms that made him so uniquely himself.
Above all else, Eric deeply cherished his children and valued his family and friends. He will be remembered as a creator, builder, and explorer whose spirit and memory will continue to live on through the many lives he touched.
Eric is survived by his three children, Bryce, Autumn, and Tiffany, and by his father, Steven Boshaw. He was preceded in death by his mother, Jill Miller.
His memory will be forever held in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
