Sara & Jo,
So sorry to hear about Bo. Kathy Pettit Irwin called me and asked if I knew of his passing. I did not until her call. So very sorry. Cathie McKibbon

Dear Mrs. Frese, I was very saddened to hear about the passing of your son Bo. You and your family are in my prayers.

Dear Sara, Joseph, and Casey

My Dad recently told me Bo had passed. I remember babysitting the boys over several years while they were still very young. They were full of energy and such fun to watch. My deepest sympathies on the loss of your dear son. My thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

Dear Sara and Joe,
I see the child Bo in this young man. I am sorry about the loss of your son, and , like Marilise, remember some fun times with the Frese Family. Please take care of one another.
Frances Berniger

Hello,
My prayers go out to you. My Dad told me that Bogan Frese had died. I remember the wild adventures we had as children. He was full of life as a child and by the looks of the guest messages, full of life as an adult.
Smiles, Marilise Berniger Marancik

Dear Sara, Joe and Casey,

Our family is heartbroken for what you are going through now. The pain of losing a child and a brother is a pain that travels into your soul and forever changes your lives. Please know that I have been praying that Jesus wrap His arms around you and keep you strong. It will be a long and difficult journey, I know this. It will be a pain that will sneak up on you when you are not expecting it, but sometimes Bo will come and whisper in your ear to let you know he is ok.

There will be a time when you will be able to place the agony in your heart in a space only you know and let it come out when you are ready, I promise.

There will come a time when the laughter does not mix with tears when you are remembering the special times with Bo, I promise.

God Bless You All.

Case, Mr & Mrs. Frese:
I am so very sorry for your loss.
You all are in my prayers.

Sara, Joe, & Casey. Audrey and I are saddened by the news of Bo's passing. My God be with you in this hour of grief. I will always remember my first recollection of your boys; about three and five years old and very rambunctious. I was trying to sell you a house on Tesla Drive at the time. From there we became good neighbors and Little Parish charter members. Our family fondly remembers your family and the good times. May the Lord watch over Bo. God Bless, Marv & Audrey Lange Family

Sara, Joe and Casey. My heart is heavy for you and your loss. I have very fond memories of Bo and Casey playing in the cul-de-sac with my daughters, Melissa and Megan - and all the "kids". I was able to watch 1st hand some of the many "stunts" and hear the laughter of good times. My thoughts and prayers are with you. May God wipe your tears - -and replace them with precious memories of Bo.

Dear Sara and Joe, The years have gone by but your sorrow draws our hearts to yours. May the cherished memories you have of Bo bring you a bit of comfort during this time of sorrow. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

We are shocked and deeply saddened at Bo's passing. Our memories of him as Robin's friend are that sweet, happy, loving child, always smiling & cheerful. Please know that you all are in our prayers. Pat & JD Hart

Sara, Joseph and family. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Cliff was going through some old pictures a couple weeks ago & saw Bo in one of his birthday pictures. He also saw Bo at the state fair a few years ago and was truely impressed at the height that Bo dived. Cliff has some fond memories of the times he hung out with Bo in grade school. Elaine, Cliff & Mike Newman

Bo was such an extrordinary person and he lived life to the fullest. He touched every person that he ever met and will always be remembered as a caring person who was never afraid to try new and adventerous things. My thoughts and prayers are with Bo's family and friends at this difficult time. Bo will be missed.

Joe, I feel I know Bo through your many wonderful stories about him. I'm so glad to have seen him perform and know you and Sara are so proud to have had him as a son. I believe that now he's teaching the angels how to fly!
You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

I pray for your families strength to move on with the loss and to always be able to carry on Bo's spirit. He brought so much life to those around him no matter where he was. I knew him from an early age and remember his bright smile and contagious energy to others. Bo was loved by many and was a great human being and friend. I wish I would of kept in touch more, but he is home and in a better place. He served his time here and now he will be performing his talents in the heavens. I will continue to pray for your family, and may you find the peace and strength to begin to heal.
God Bless! Wasson Class of 92~ Rachael Puryear'

Sara, Joseph and family. You are in our prayers. Marie Hinds and Sandy Brennecke

Sarah, Joe and Casey:
Bo has been part of our family for as long as I can remember. He has been an uncle to our kids and a best friend to all of us. He will be deeply missed, but never forgotten. We love you!

Bogan Frese. Now there's a name for you. Everyone just called him "Bo". There was only one Bo, so no other identifier was necessary.

Bo was a gymnast, a life-long gymnast. A generation of young athletes has been exposed to his talent and easy-going nature. He was among the best the gym had ever seen. If there was ...a big trick being thrown, chances are it was Bo in the air. Spectators all over the nation marveled at Bo's diving exhibitions at state fairs during the summer months. This past year, crowds in Europe were also delighted by Bo's trampoline and entertainment skills. Yes, Bo was world-class.

Yesterday,December 4th 2010, Bo took to the air for the last time. A slight miscalculation resulted in a tragic accident. Bo died doing what he loved best, in the place he loved best, among the people he loved best.

Many a Wednesday night I would head for the gym to do Russian Swing with Bo and the gang. My tenant would often tease me as I left the house about my regular rendezvous with Bo. "You're going to see your beau, aren't you," she would quip. "You love your beau, don't you."

Hell yeah. Everybody loved Bo.

Casey,
We never know the hand we will be dealt in life. I am truly sorry you have to feel this pain and sorrow. As much as possible may the words and love of others comfort you and your family. We will see you when you get back. With much care, Miss Sue

Sarah, Joe and Casey: I can't even find the words to express how saddened Tom and I are by Bo's untimely passing. May God and his angels cradle you in this most difficult time.

Mr. & Mrs. Frese,
Bo made every person he came in contact with feel special...and he didn't even have to try. I'm glad I knew him and sorry he left so soon. I believe we will all be reunited again in Heaven and wanted to thank you for giving us such a special spirit to call friend. Bless you always.

Bo Frese: Keep Twisting, Keep Flipping and Help us all teach the skills you brought to the table. We never worked together! Although, we worked for the same company: we never shared the stage together, we never partied after the show and I never had the chance to work with your diving skills. But, everyone we worked with had a story to tell about "us"..My Teammate at Wasson High School (Diving) A true talent, a great show talent and a great friend to us all: I leave you with the song from Pink Floyd " The Show Must Go On"
Turn N Burn my Friend! Save a seat for me next to the bar above..Drinks in the AIR.
Much Love to you

As A childhood friend of Bo's I remember how much fun he had in life. Skateboard ramps,trampolines, and alot of laughter is how I remember our fun days in the cul-de-sac. Mrs.Frese, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. When I think of grade school, you are my favorite teacher of all time. My heart breaks for you & your family. All I keep thinking is Bo was doing what he loved to do best, & boy was he great at it. My thoughts & prayers are with you and your family in this hard time.

Bo Frese was a part of the Barnes family and grew up with us.He was a remarkable human, loved life and lived it to the fullest.My children refered to him as uncle Bo and would wait for his arrival from his many adventures. Our family loved him and he will truly be missed. His presence will be missed in this world. He was a remarkable and amiable human being. One day we will be reunited my brother and friend.
Love Jeff Barnes and family

Mr. and Mrs. Frese,
Thank you so much for bringing such an amazing person into the world. I don't think I ever met anyone who knew how to live as well as Bo did. Even tho his life was cut shorter than it should have, I know Bo lived twice as much as most people do. And he inspired so many people. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. Bo will always live on in memory and in heart.

Bo was one of my great gymnastics coaches, a mentor, friend, and inspiration.

I will train hard and in my endeavors I will think of your own work ethic in awe and for motivation both on the trampoline and in life.

Rest In Peace.
Michael

Dear Joe ,Sara, and Casey,
Please know that your family is in our prayers. Bo will be missed, he was so loved by our entire family. He is in a very safe place now. God bless you all. Paula Amasy (Barnes)

Some inspire others to accomplish that next great goal but you, Bo, appeared to have inspired everyone to live. I hope I can leave half the mark you did on the people you knew but more importantly the people you didn't.

Even though I hadn't seen Bo in years, I was still heartbroken to hear of his passing. He was such a wonderful, warm, generous, loving person. My sincerce condolences to Bo's family and closest friends.

Dear Sara and Family,
Please know that our prayers and thoughts are with all of you as you struggle through this difficult time. Sara, while we did not have the privilege of knowing Bo, he must have been a truly wonderful and loved son and brother. We wish all of you God's healing peace. Nancy (Mendrick) and Rick Karlinger

My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time. He brought smiles to so many people. God bless you all.

Joey, Sara and Casey,
My heart is with each of you along with thoughts and prayers.

On a YouTube video of himself flipping around at ArtSports in 07, Bo wrote, “I hate to feel the Earth beneath my feet.”
Just think of the fun he is having in Heaven! A new adventure has just begun for Bo.

May your memories keep you warm and hugs help dry your tears. We are here for you guys and love you very much!
Again, we are so very sorry for your loss.

Ann Marie and Family

As one of Bo's childhood friends, my heart is broken. Bo and I hooked up through Facebook and were able to get together briefly before he went oversees. Spending a little time with him was like we had never been apart. I am in shock not knowing what happened and realizing that he isn't out there for me to meet again until my days on Earth are over.

Bo was truelly a wonderful guy. Every memory of him brings a smile to my face. Truelly a life long friend. He will be missed dearly.

Dear Sara, Joe and Casey, My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Beau is happy flying around Heaven. Smile and know that he is safe and well. Take care. Love, Catherine Ball

Bo would always be willing to be my subject for my photography class, he would always smile and make me feel better. I will truly miss him and his wonderful spirit. What a wonderful human being. God bless him and his family.

Bo was a living testiment to the quote, "It's better to give, than to receive." because he gave so much to everyone he knew and asked for little to nothing in return. Thank you Bo, for you warmth, compassion, humor and most importantly...your friendship.

No doubt in my heart that Bo was one of the more fun-loving people I knew. He'll be remembered fondly and missed more dearly than expected.

I pray that his next adventure suits him as well.

I never knew him to have a harsh word with anyone; instead, he was usually the first to offer a warm welcome.

My condolences go out to his loved ones that miss him the most.

Bo was truly an exceptional human being that has touched everyone he has met in some way. He was a talented and warm hearted man. I as well have known him since childhood and feel proud and blessed I have had the opportunity to call him my friend. Mr. and Mrs. Frese, thank you for raising him to be the lifelong friend and man that he became and thank you for sharing him with us. I know the pain we feel in losing Bo could never compare to the feelings of depair you feel as a mother, father, brother and grandmother. My heart is with each and every one of you.
