Our loss, but heaven's gain. Bo put love into action and made a difference in other people's lives. We will hold on to the precious memories that you created with your family and friends! Mary Louise Echols Bryant and Family
This community will not be the same without Bo, nor will our neighborhood. Bo was a simple man with a very big heart. if he saw where he could help you with anything he would do it. The children all loved him especially when he came around with his ice cream truck. He may have given away more than he actually sold. Take your rest in paradise. Our prayers go out to Charlotte, the boys and all of your family. The Willis Family
Me, Bo, and Joe played together as kids. Bo was always the same way, he never changed. Always was friendly and kind. We also took ROTC together in High School. I am going to miss my cousin, but our memories will live on. My Prayer is with Beverly and the family. Love, Rolahac Phillips
My sincere condolences and prayers to the Rowe and Springer families. Words can not express how sorry I am for the loss of your dearest Bo'. He was such a nice guy. Never met a stranger.

To Bo and Family he will be missed. If you know Bo he would give you the shirt off his back. He was a person that made sure when he was at the school, he would make sure those kids got something off the trunk. Bo it's time for your rest. ππΏππΏππΏππΏ

We would already be standing out there because we could hear you for a whole five minutes before you made itπ€£ I am going to cherish the moments we had forever and always. Get your rest and give daddy a big ol hug when you see him there. Tell him his oldest daughter missing him down here. It will never be goodbye but I will see y'all laterπ
