Bradley Craig Bosch was born to Betty (Deisz) Picard and Harvey Bosch in Cedar Rapids, Iowa on December 12, 1969. Brad was an ugly baby, which led to a lifetime of his Grandpa Matt calling him, “Ugly Kid.” However, he quickly became adorable and learned his smile could get him out of trouble. Brad’s younger years were spent terrorizing his siblings, first in Minot and then in Bowbells, ND. Bowbells forever remained a special place in his heart. In high school, Brad played every sport. After high school he played football at Northland Community College in Thief River Falls, MN, and earned a criminal justice degree. Brad met Dixie Koskela in 1994. Brad’s favorite past-time quickly became making Dixie laugh. They were married on October 19, 1996. On January 5, 2001, Brad and Dixie welcomed their first son, Conner Craig Bosch. Conner looks like his dad but luckily got his mom’s sensibility. On April 9, 2004 Brad and Dixie welcomed another son, Regan Arlan Bosch. Regan inherited his dad’s silly personality. Brad took the role of father seriously. Although he taught all his nieces and nephews naughty things, he was determined to raise good kids. He loved watching his boys play sports and coached them in many of their activities. He enjoyed taking Conner and Regan to Redhawks and Bison games, and their family also went on many memorable vacations. Over the last couple of years, Brad shared his passion for biking with Regan. Brad was born a salesman and worked for Airgas for the last 16 years. Brad also had many interests. He ran multiple marathons and many half-marathons. He was a member of the NDSU Team Makers, as well as many running and cycling groups in Fargo. Brad was passionate about biking and grooming trails – the Maah Daah Hey, Cuyuna, and Wildwood Park trails were some of his favorites. Brad was unlike anyone. You never knew what trick he would play to get a laugh. He was goofy but incredibly kindhearted. If someone was in need, Brad was there to help. He loved deeply and whole-heartedly and was loved beyond measure. Brad is survived by his sons, Conner and Regan, and his best friend, Dixie, all of Fargo; his mother, Betty (Frank) Picard of Barnesville, MN; his father, Harvey Bosch of Bismarck; his siblings, Scott (Wendy) Bosch of Victoria, MN; Jessica (Jon) Klein of Bismarck; Ashley (Dan) Seykora of Rugby; his stepbrother, Bob (Tara) Picard of Portland, Maine; and his stepfather, Don Hansen of Bismarck. All nine of Brad’s nieces and nephews will also miss their favorite uncle, as will his aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. Brad is preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Matt and Rose Deisz; his paternal grandparents, Joe and Jenny Bosch; his aunt, Veronica Deisz; his cousin, Derick Deisz; his stepbrother, Jim Picard; and his stepmother, Joy Bosch.
