Randy Michael Bose

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved son, Randy Michael Bose, on March 6, 2025, in Aurora, Colorado, at the age of 32. Born in Omaha, Nebraska, on November 18, 1992, Randy was a man who cherished his family, friends, and students. He was a devoted son, brother, husband, grandson, nephew, cousin, uncle, friend and educator.

Randy spent the first eight years of his life growing up in Bennington, Nebraska. In 2001, he moved to Aurora, Colorado, with his mother, Julie, and brother, Jesse. Randy was determined to have a father figure in his life and worked tirelessly to bring his parents, Julie & Bob, together when he was in fifth grade. Through his efforts and the efforts of his twin stepsisters (Melissa & Alex), they helped create a new blended family which eventually led to the birth of their baby sister, Hannah. Along with Jesse and Hannah, Randy also grew up with three stepsiblings. He graduated from Eaglecrest High School in 2011. In 2013, Randy married his high school sweetheart, Corina, and together they had six fur babies: Gunner, Suri, Ivy, Archer, Loki, and Jaeger.

After high school, Randy took time to decide on a career. He expressed an interest in education and found it rewarding to work as a teaching assistant for children with special needs. This experience helped Randy realize his passion for helping children, leading him to pursue a degree in education. Randy obtained a double bachelor’s degree in education (Elementary Education and K-12 Special Education) and a master’s degree in education with an emphasis on autism spectrum disorders, both from Grand Canyon University.

Randy began his teaching career at Endeavor Academy, an alternative high school, working with teens taking an alternate route through their education. He bonded with his students every semester, making a significant impact on their lives and ensuring they felt seen and heard. Randy became known as a strong advocate for at-risk teens, teaching life skills along with other subjects. Randy was known for going above and beyond for his students and was one of their biggest advocates. Most recently, he started a course where students could build their own guitars and learn to play. Randy's passion for teaching and helping others made a difference in many lives.

Outside of work, Randy loved working on cars and computers. He decided to go back to school and earned another master’s degree in education, emphasizing learning and technology. Soccer was another love of Randy's; he started playing as a child and continued until he passed, excelling as a soccer goalie. Randy was a friend to many, including school friends, online video game friends, and Dungeon and Dragons friends.

Randy and his brother Jesse were particularly close. Growing up together, they found they both had a love of music. They formed the band “Sleep Walker”, and loved performing on stage together, Randy on vocals and Jesse on bass. The two brothers also enjoyed going to concerts (along with their dad, Bob) and spent several seasons playing on the same hockey team. Randy also had a special bond with his baby sister, Hannah. He was always her biggest fan and protector. They were close even with the age gap. He coached her youth soccer team, taught her how to change a flat tire and even danced with Hannah on stage at a Spring dance recital.

Randy was a jack of all trades, the kind of person who was always willing to be the first to offer a helping hand to anyone. Randy was the first person we called on when his family needed anything. He always was there for you whether your car, computer, fence or anything else needed fixing.

Randy is survived by his wife, Corina, mother, Julie Bose-Snyder, and father, Robert Snyder; brother, Jesse Bose; sister, Hannah Snyder; and three stepsiblings. He is also survived by his grandparents, Patricia & Delbert Gibson and David & Elizabeth Snyder, as well as several aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews.

We will miss you so much, Randy Michael.
