Billy Michael Boswell

In Loving Memory of Billy Michael Boswell December 23, 1947 – May 17, 2026 Billy Michael Boswell, beloved father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, son, veteran, and friend, passed away peacefully on May 17, 2026. Born on December 23, 1947, in Burlison, Tennessee, Billy built a life rooted in laughter, love, family, and unwavering strength. He was living in Grand Island, Nebraska, at the time of his passing. Billy proudly served his country in the United States Air Force as a medical administrative supervisor and medical records librarian. He began his service at Offutt Air Force Base in Omaha, NE, in February of 1969. He dedicated himself to helping others with compassion and courage. His service reflected the caring heart he carried throughout his life. Billy was known for his incredible sense of humor and his unforgettable jokes — he could make a room laugh like nobody else. He was a faithful believer in the Lord. He was also stubborn in the way only the strongest people can be, but beneath that stubbornness was a deeply loving man who was a wonderful father, an extraordinary grandpa, and a cherished great-grandpa. Family meant everything to him. When he wasn’t spending time with those he loved, Billy enjoyed playing golf, fishing, watching western movies, and sharing stories, jokes, and wisdom with anyone lucky enough to sit beside him. He often joked, “I’m older than dirt,” usually followed by laughter, and he never missed an opportunity to remind the people he loved with the simple but powerful words, “And I love you, too.” Billy leaves behind a family who will miss him deeply: his children, Daniel Boswell, Kimberly Thompson, and her husband Jimmie Thompson, and Natalie Boswell. He was a proud grandfather to Ashley Newman and her husband Matthew Newman, Alexis Thompson, Claudia Sullivan and her husband Ashe Sullivan, Matthew Thompson, Dallas Boswell, Celeste Thompson, Carolina Thompson, Elliot Ernstmeyer, and Oliver Urmacher. His legacy of love continues through his treasured great-grandchildren: Eleanor Newman, Taven Trejo, Graicyn Trejo, Rayn Trejo, Ember Sullivan, August Sullivan, Reyna Sullivan, and Declan Sullivan. Billy’s life was filled with laughter, loyalty, service, and fierce love for his family. Though hearts are heavy with his passing, those who knew him will carry forward his humor, his stories, his love of God, his strength, and the love he gave so freely. He will be deeply missed, forever loved, and never forgotten. See you later, alligator. After a while, crocodile ❤️
