Eric Dean Bostwick, 51, of Ohioville, passed away at home unexpectedly, Wednesday, June 4, 2025.
Born July 17, 1973, in Rochester, he is the son of Dean A. and Sue (Anderson) Bostwick. He was a proud graduate of Beaver High School, Class of 1991 and attended Church of the Living Christ, Beaver. Eric dedicated much of his life to serving his community, working as a fireman with the Vanport, Ohioville, Industry and Midland Fire Departments. His selfless commitment and courage left a lasting impact on those he served alongside. He worked as a cook at the Hot Dog Shoppe in Moon Township, with two special friends, Dom and Naz, where he was known for his hard work and friendly nature. A loving and supportive father, Eric was deeply involved in his daughters' lives, especially during their time in 4-H, where his encouragement never wavered. Later in life, he found great joy in being a grandfather. Eric cherished every moment spent with his granddaughters, Ryleigh and Myah, often singing to them with a warmth only he could bring.
Eric was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, S. Edgar and Ruth (Popp) Anderson and his paternal grandfather, Charles T. Bostwick.
Surviving in addition to his parents, are his loving wife of 28 years, Cheryl (Glasure) Bostwick; three daughters, Shelby, Morgan, and Carly Bostwick, all of Ohioville; two grandchildren, Ryleigh and Myah; paternal grandmother, Hilda Penson; stepmother, Debbie Bostwick (Eddie Robinson). He will be greatly missed by his beloved cousins and friends.
A memorial visitation will be held, Monday, June 9, 2025, from 10 a.m. until time of memorial service at 11 a.m. in Church of the Living Christ, 699 Riverside Drive, Beaver, Pa 15009. His pastor, Rev. David M. Howells, officiating.
