Patrick Arthur Bossard: beloved father, husband, friend and creative force, passed away at 12:55 AM, EST on October 27, 2025. He was a man full of boundless energy, curiosity, passion who lived life on his own terms.
Pat, a devoted Cornhusker graduated from NE State University with a Master’s in Administration and Bachelor’s in Education after serving in both the US Navy Reserve and Air National Guard. At the age of 35 he met and married Jeannette while living in the Great Northwest. At the same time began his life-long career with the Federal Government retiring in 2013.
Survived by his wife Jeannette; his beloved son and best friend Vincent A. Bossard, his stepdaughter, Alethea R. Leondakis (his ‘Becky); two grandsons; Manuel and Cillian. Also survived by his two Brothers, Mike and Brian with their wives, many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins.
Patrick (Parthur) will be remembered as a multifaceted man with an insatiable passion for the Arts. Performing in a number of Community Theatre plays. He was a Published Playwright, accomplished Poet (winning two awards), wrote Short Stories, and produced songs. He recently put out a 15 song album he accomplished while visiting Arizona. It has a blues style. One of his plays which he directed and performed in “Taxpayer Service” focused on his career in Govt., and highlighted the Arlington Theatre Group which he and others organized.
Patrick loved exploring nature, discovering new parks and trails often giving them his own new names. Everywhere he went he was taking ‘Litter’ out. There will be a bench dedicated in his honor at Egan’s Creek Greenway Trail. His final resting place will be at a favorite for him and his son, Valley of Fire in Nevada.
His infectious laugh, goofy humor and insatiable curiosity inspired all who knew him. He was a true original always challenging the status quo, pursuing big ideas. He kept his own children inspired to challenge their horizons dreaming big. A Celebration of Patrick’s life will be held by many who visit the family and his park bench. In Lieu of flowers, he would appreciate others helping contribute to conserving our parks, roadways and giving back to your community.
