James (Jim) Donald Bostwick

James (Jim) Donald Bostwick, 75, of Hooker, Oklahoma, passed away February 6, 2022, at Southwest Medical Center in Liberal, Kansas.

Jim was born on May 2, 1946, in Liberal, Kansas to Clarence (Doyle) Bostwick and Marie (Bollinger) Bostwick. After graduating from Hooker High School in 1964, Jim attended college before enlisting and serving in the Air Force from 1966-1969 in Germany.

In 1969, Jim met Heide Fowler; they married in 1970 and were married 27 years. During that time, Jim graduated in accounting from Northwestern Oklahoma State University in 1972 and later became a licensed Certified Public Accountant going on to open his own public practice in Hooker. On July 28, 1999, Jim was remarried to Bonnie Barnes outside of Colorado Springs in a private ceremony.

Jim was a 32nd degree Mason as well as a Shriner. He was also very involved in his community by serving or holding leadership positions in other civic organizations such as the Lion’s Club, Chamber of Commerce, Hooker Educational Foundation, and Hooker Main Street Program.

Jim was an outdoorsman. He loved nature and observing wildlife, star-gazing, and beautiful sunrises and sunsets. He willingly shared his love of nature by offering all kids a ride on his golf cart to visit and feed the local golf course ducks. He was an avid golfer, hunter, and fisherman and enjoyed sharing his talent and passion for these sports by patiently teaching younger generations, especially his children and grandchildren. Jim also enjoyed reading, carpentry, and watching old westerns, especially John Wayne’s. Jim was a huge Oklahoma State Cowboys fan as well. (Go Pokes!)

Jim was preceded in death by his parents, Doyle and Marie, and his brother, Wesley. He is survived by his wife, Bonnie; his sister, Janie Jones; his children, Rusty Rollins, Jami Warkentin, and Michael Bostwick; his stepchildren, Richard Troyer, Steve Troyer, and Tasha Barnes; his grandchildren, Camille and Ashley Rollins, Trey and Hallye Warkentin, Jaxon, Cooper, and Georgia Bostwick; his step-grandchildren, Rich Troyer, Megan (Troyer) Ryan, Lindsay Troyer, and Hannah Troyer, Chalin Farrow, Michelle Troyer, Emily (Jones) McCleskey, Jordan Jones, and Alexa Waddell; and six step-greatgrandchildren.
