News Bonners Ferry is saddened to tell of the passing of Ozzy Osborn, who is reported to have died in his sleep this morning.

Osborn, who served his country and came home to serve his community, retired after a career with the U.S. Forest Service, and was quietly active in Boundary County to the end of his life.

He was stalwart in American Legion Post 55, active in his church, always doing the important behind-the-scenes work that needed to be done so that those in attendance at the many events he assisted with seemed to spectators effortless.

He was the man who attended to the myriad details, through rain, shine or snow. He was always there.

A full obituary and service information will be published as soon as it becomes available.
