Thomas "Bosco" Forrester

October 11, 1977-June 13, 2025

Thomas Forrester Jr., 47, affectionately known as, "Bosco" to many, departed this earthly life to enter eternal rest on June 13, 2025, at his home, leaving behind a legacy of cherished memories in all the hearts of those who knew him and loved him.

Born on October 11, 1977, in La Porte, Indiana to Thomas Forrester Sr. and Joan (Ronning) Forrester. Bosco enjoyed living like every day was his last, soaking up an adventure whenever he could. He had a passion for travel and a deep appreciation for the world around him. His sense of adventure and enjoyment of the open road fed directly into his love of riding, making him a proud Harley man. Bosco was a skilled carpenter who took great pride in his craft. Whether building homes or helping others with a project-it made him a proud craftsman.

He was a man who loved deeply and lived fully-making many meaningful relationships throughout his life. Whether it was a family celebration, a cookout, or just a regular day at Nana and Papa's, he found joy in being around those he loved most. Certainly, making an impression on everyone he has met, Bosco will continue to live on through everyone he has touched-whether it is a favorite song, a shared laugh that echoes his spirit, or a story that is retold with a smile. His presence remains in the small moments, the lasting impressions, and the love he left behind. He will be missed by all.

He is survived by two brothers, Jeff (Paula) Forrester of New Carlisle, IN, Michael (Stacy) Forrester of Koontz Lake, IN; three nieces, Brooke (Sarah) Kush, Holly (Jon) Dudley, Logan Forrester; two nephews, Jeremy Forrester, Michael Forrester; great niece, Remi Dudley and great nephews, Weston Dudley and Kolson Kush, along with many beloved cousins.

Thomas Forrester Jr. was preceded in death by his parents.

Arrangements are being entrusted to Haverstock Funeral Home and Cremation Services, 602 Maple Ave., LaPorte, IN where the family will receive friends Thursday, June 26 from 11 am until 1 pm. A life celebration will be held at the funeral home, at 1 pm with Pastor Tim Ahlemeyer officiating. Interment will follow at the Kingsbury Cemetery.
