On February 7, 2025 Bo Richard Ward went to be with the Lord. Bo was born in Fort Lauderdale Florida on December 13, 2006 and moved to Lake Placid at the age of four years old. He attended Trinity Totts, Lakeview Christian, and was a Senior at Lake Placid High School. Bo had strong Christian values and his zest for life and passion for the outdoors opened his world to fishing and hunting. You could always find Bo working on his truck or mud boat, or enjoying camping. He loved being with his family and friends.
Bo was a kind soul who was compassionate and nurturing, especially when it came to animals and his grandparents. Bo started working at Schooni's Pizza at the age of 14 years old and was known by many. After graduation this year, Bo aspired to attend school and become a firefighter/EMT/paramedic like his  older brother Zach, who was also his best friend.
Bo is survived by his father David mother Tara, brother Zach and numerous Aunts, Uncles, cousins, his hog/lap dog rooster, and a boat load of friends. Bo will be remembered for his adventurous spirit, tender heart, and unwavering faith. Though he may no longer be with us in body, Bo's light will continue to guide us, reminding us to cherish every moment, love without limits, and live with purpose.
Bo's memorial service will be held on Saturday February 22nd at the Ministry Center located at 8475 Sparta Rd, Sebring, FL 33875. The family will be receiving guests at 1pm with services starting at 2pm.
