Bo hoped to play football for the University of Texas and professional football. A serious motorcycle accident resulted in broken bones in his legs and ended his athletic career.
Bo felt saddened by the passing of many close relatives over the years including his father when Bo was only five, a stepfather in 2008 and his mother in 2016. Bo had a big heart. Though he did not have children of his own, Bo loved his nieces and nephews.
