Boston was a bright light to everyone he met-full of energy, laughter, and love. He never knew a stranger and had a gift for making people smile. Whether he was being goofy, cracking jokes, or flashing his infectious smile, Boston's playful and ornery spirit left a lasting impression. He was truly one of a kind.
He had a deep love for sports and could often be found playing baseball, basketball, or football. He also enjoyed fishing and spending time outdoors. Boston was happiest when surrounded by his brothers and cousins, where fun and laughter were guaranteed-usually loud and a little wild, just the way he liked it.
Smart, charismatic, and full of life, Boston had an uncanny ability to connect with others. He touched countless lives and made lifelong friends wherever he went. As the first grandchild in the family, he held a special place in all of our hearts. Boston approached life on his own terms, facing challenges with determination and heart. His love of living was unmatched, and the joy he brought into our lives will never be forgotten. His absence leaves a hole that can never be filled.
