On Sunday, Nov. 23, his family posted that he โ€œwent to be with the Lord early this morning.โ€

A Facebook group called โ€œBattle with Boโ€ was created to keep family, friends and the community updated during his fight with glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer.

The most recent post on the Facebook page said arrangements will be announced once they are made.
