Michael Bosley, born August 29, 1957, in Plattsburgh, New York, passed away on December 18, 2025, in Mineral Wells, Texas. Michael lived life his own way. He was strong-willed, sometimes rough around the edges—but those who truly knew him understood how deeply he cared in his own way.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph and Mary Bosley, as well as the love of his life and soulmate, Sherry Laird, whose memory remained close to his heart throughout his life.
Michael is survived by his daughters, Shawna Goodman, Angela Schaberg, and Tabitha Bosley, along with seven grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. Though not always expressive, he cared deeply for his family and was proud of them in his own quiet way.
Michael loved being outdoors. He enjoyed gardening, fresh air, and the peace he found outside. He also shared a special bond with his loyal dog, Sadie Mae, who stayed faithfully by his side.
He will be remembered for his unique personality, stubborn strength, and the life he lived honestly and unapologetically. His family takes comfort in knowing he is now at peace.
