Bobby Joe Bozzell
April 6, 1941 ~ June 25, 2025
Bobby J. Bozzell, 84, Sioux Falls, SD, formerly of Huron, SD, passed away on Wednesday, June 25, 2025, at the Dougherty Hospice House in Sioux Falls, SD after a battle with cancer.
Per Bobby’s wishes, there is no service planned. There will be a private inurnment for the family at a later date.
Bobby Joe Bozzell was born on April 6, 1941, to George and Mollie (Carter) Bozzell in Appalachia, VA. He met Harriet Suiter in Richmond, VA where they were united in marriage on December 17, 1965. They moved from Virginia to Aberdeen, SD in 1968 and then to Huron, SD in 1971. Bobby worked at Farmland Industries for 36 years until his retirement in 2003. After retirement, Bobby moved to Sioux Falls to be closer to his son Chad.
Bobby cherished time spent with his family. What brought Bobby the greatest joy, however, was time spent with his grandchildren. From the time they were babies, he was always ‘at the ready’ to babysit. Whether playing games, exploring outside, or simply enjoying each other’s company, those moments were treasures he held dear. He was a devoted supporter in the stands, cheering on his grandson at countless hockey games – always bundled up, proud, and watching with a heart full of love.
In his younger years, Bobby had a passion for baseball – both playing and watching the game. Whether in pickup games or local leagues, he found joy in the crack of a bat and the thrill of a close play at home.
Grateful for having shared Bobby’s life are his son, Chad (Amy) Bozzell; and two grandchildren, Olivia and Jack, Sioux Falls.
Bobby was preceded in death by his wife Harriet; parents, George and Mollie; and siblings, Andy, George Jr., Hugh, Hadley, Richard, William, James, Geneva, and Allene.
