Timothy "Tim" Shawn Bosley, age 61 of Gwinn, a proud U.S. Marine, dedicated welder, and lover of the great outdoors, passed away after a brief illness on Friday October 3, 2025 at UP Health System Marquette.
Born in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan on September 16, 1964, the son of Carl and Donna (Rath) Bosley Tim spent his early years there before his family relocated to Marquette during his early teens. He graduated from Marquette Senior High School in 1983.
After high school, Tim briefly moved to Florida before joining the United States Marine Corps. During his four years of honorable service, he served as a heavy equipment operator, an experience he carried with deep pride throughout his life. For Tim, being a Marine was not just a chapter in life, it was part of his identity. He believed firmly that once a Marine, always a Marine.
Following his military service, Tim returned to Florida where he worked for Coca-Cola. He later settled in Saginaw, Michigan, where he began a long and skilled career as a welder. In 2003, he returned to the Upper Peninsula to continue his trade and be closer to the landscapes he loved.
Tim was a proud member of the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians. He had a deep appreciation for nature and enjoyed camping, hiking, and spending time outdoors. His strength, bravery, and courage were evident to all who knew him.
Tim is survived by his father, Carl Bosley; sister, Deborah (Richard) Neff of Roanoke, Virginia; uncle and aunt, Walter and Nancy Bosley of Sault Ste. Marie; uncle, Raymond Bosley Sr. of Painesdale, Michigan; and aunts Sandy Bosley and Cheryl Bosley.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Donna Bosley; aunts Donna Kangas and Ruth Bosley; and uncles Larry Bosley, Rick Bosley, and Reuban Kangas.
Honoring Tim's request, no public services will be held. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the charity of your choice. Canale Gwinn Funeral and Cremation Services is serving the family where condolences may be expressed online at canalefuneral.com
