As many of you may have heard by now, our 28 year old son, Joshua Michael Bouma, went missing freediving for lobster with his best bud, Daniel Burke, Saturday, February 13th, around 9:45 pm at El Morro State Park. Josh was a very experienced freediver, surfer, and waterman, and must have dove the same spot a hundred times before.
Josh passed diving and doing what he loved, and was found by his surfing brothers. Although this doesn’t make the loss of Josh any less tragic, what we take most comfort in is that these past several months we were all back together as a family, and Josh reconnected with old friends.
He loved everyone, and knew he was loved by all of his family and friends, and for this we truly believe he is now at peace.
