April 4, 2024 – Regina, Saskatchewan

Our beloved father, Anthony Ockert Bosch, passed away peacefully in his sleep on Thursday, April 4, 2024, in Regina, SK, at the age of 76 years.

Anthony was born in Cape Town, South Africa, on July 27, 1947. In 1982, Anthony immigrated to Canada, settling in Calgary, AB, where he raised his family. He spent his life there with a heart filled with love for Jesus and his family, and a passion for community. He continuously led his family with God’s Word, enriching his children with biblical values. Anthony was a generous, empathetic, and supportive individual who positively impacted numerous people across his lifetime. Most importantly, he was incredibly proud to be a father, which is evident in the legacy he has created. He had a calm demeanor, which made his humour even more enjoyable. Anthony was a lifelong learner, which led him to continue pursuing academic success.

Anthony is survived by his daughter, Marshalina (Patrick Reader), grandsons, Mike (fiancée Gemma) and Patrick Jr. of Thunder Bay, ON; his daughter, Natasha (Bruce de Hoog), grandsons, Joshua and Levi; granddaughter, Sierra in Medicine Hat, AB, his son, Kurt (Trudie), granddaughter, Madison, grandsons, Jake and Kaden of Edmonton, AB; his son, Danny Bosch of Calgary, AB, his son, Stephen Bosch (fiancée Meghan) of Calgary, AB, and his daughter, Laura Bosch of Calgary, AB. Anthony is also survived by many nieces, nephews, cousins, family, and friends who he loved dearly.

Anthony was predeceased by his father, Antonie Bosch, his mother, Elizabeth Bosch, and his siblings, John Bosch, Marukkie Alexander, Jacqueline Van Huffell, and Adolf Bosch.

Our family would like to acknowledge our sister Natasha (superstar), who was by dad’s side the entire time he was in hospital. Much gratitude also to all our family who travelled to be with dad in Regina, and to those who could not be there, but supported us from afar and in so many loving ways.
