Gary Boggs Obituary
Gary "Mike" Boggs, 73, of North Baltimore, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, son, and brother, passed away at 3:54 p.m. Tuesday, July 11, 2023, at Bridge Hospice Care Center, Findlay.
He was born Jan. 25, 1950, in Findlay, to Kenneth J. and Freda Jean (Williams) Boggs. He married Nancy Chamberlain and she survives.
Mike is also survived by a son, Jarid (Megan) Boggs; and grandson, Wade Boggs.
He was preceded in death by his parents; brothers, Kenneth E., William C., and Robert "Terry" Boggs; and sisters, Shirlee Swartz, Sandra Harden, and Susan Althauser.
Mike was an U.S. Army Special Forces Veteran of the Vietnam War. He loved to go fishing, camping, and was an all around handyman. He loved to take his dog, Lily, for rides in the golf cart around town.
Four years ago, he was the recipient of a double lung transplant from Cleveland Clinic and it gave him a new lease on life which he enjoyed every minute of.
A celebration of life service will be at a later date. Burial will be at New Maplewood Cemetery, North Baltimore.
Arrangements are being handled by SMITH-CRATES FUNERAL HOME, North Baltimore.
Memorial contributions may be made to North Baltimore American Legion Post 539 or Cleveland Clinic Innovations District Programs.
