Marcel Anthony Bosch, age 57, passed away peacefully in Okotoks, Alberta, on March 29th, 2024, with family by his side. Marcel was born August 28, 1966, in Swift Current, Saskatchewan, the eldest son of Henry and Vivian Bosch.
Marcel was predeceased by his father and is survived by his loving mother Vivian of Okotoks, AB, brother Steven (Joanne) of Airdrie, AB, and sister Lynnae (Trevor) of Calgary, AB. He was a proud Uncle to his niece, Jenna and nephews Eric, Hunter, and TJ. Marcel had numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins who he enjoyed spending time with throughout the years at family reunions, weddings, and at the Bosch and Wagner farms in Saskatchewan. He was also a father-figure to Mandey, Stacey and Carley.
Marcel was blessed with many friends throughout his lifetime, viewing his closest companions as part of his extended family. He often spoke highly of them and their strong bond, always looking out for each other. With his contagious laughter and friendly nature, Marcel has always had a way of making people feel welcome and at ease. His dogs Kobe and Zoey, were also significant to his life, accompanying him wherever he went.
Growing up in Swift Current, Marcel’s passion for sports was evident from a young age. He played all-star hockey during his minor hockey years and was an exceptional baseball player. Marcel’s competitive spirit and natural athleticism made him an impressive opponent, cherished teammate, and the guy you wanted by your side. He was a talented golfer and enjoyed golfing in the company of his family and friends.
Beyond his athletic pursuits, Marcel was a devoted sports fan, often found glued to the sports channel. He watched hockey, baseball, golf, football, basketball, and curling with his mom. A highlight of his love for sports was when he attended Blue Jay baseball games in Toronto.
In addition to his interest in sports, Marcel loved going to concerts and enjoyed music. He particularly, liked rock and roll bands. In his younger years, he took music lessons in guitar and drums.
Marcel found solace and happiness at the lake, spending much of his time there. His community were the people at the Resort Village of Beaver Flat. Fishing was his preferred pastime, enjoyed both in the summer and winter months, often in the company of family and friends. The lake was not just a retreat for Marcel, but a place where cherished memories were made with those closest to him. He took great pride in making the cabin into a welcoming home for all, sharing his love for outdoor activities with his niece and nephews. He taught them how to dirt bike, golf, fish, drive golf carts, and would take them out on the boat to learn how to water ski, along with so much more. His patience and generosity knew no bounds as he shared his knowledge and skills with everyone.
Marcel dedicated over 30 years of his life to Goodyear in Medicine Hat, AB. During this time, he forged lasting friendships and earned the respect of his colleagues through his work ethic and integrity.
The family would like to acknowledge and sincerely thank the staff of High River Hospital for the care Marcel received. Marcel’s journey eventually led him to the Foothills Country Hospice in Okotoks. There the staff were passionate, not only caring for him, but also for family members.
Marcel will be deeply missed by all. His kindness, generosity, and unwavering spirit will continue to inspire those whose lives he touched. May he rest in peace, forever remembered and cherished in our hearts.
