Guy Bockover Obituary
Guy Bockover, 66, of Kalamazoo, Michigan, passed away on August 29th, 2024. A loving husband, father, and grandfather, Guy's presence will be deeply missed by everyone who knew him.
For 40 years, Guy took great pride in working as an over-the-road truck driver, covering millions of miles with a spotless safety record.
Outside of his career, Guy was passionate about life. Whether it be vacationing with his family or long Harley rides with old friends. In his retirement, he spent countless hours in his garage, crafting wooden boxes as cherished gifts for those he loved.
But more than anything, Guy's proudest accomplishment was to be a grandfather. Once he became "Grandpa," his greatest joy came from spending time with his grandchildren and watching them play sports.
Guy is survived by his wife, Dawn Bockover, and his two sons, Justice Bockover and Jake (Courtney) Bockover. He was the proud grandpa of Corwyn, Maddox, Neveah, and Karsten Bockover.
Guy's legacy of love, craftsmanship, and adventure will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to know him.
