Bo Reinhold Mutchelknaus was born on September 7, 1993 in Huron, SD to Jay and Doris (Aldrich) Mutchelknaus. He attended school at Wolsey-Wessington, graduating with the Class of 2012. Following high school he attended South Dakota State University before returning to the Huron area where he worked as a construction apprentice.
Bo was baptized at St. Martins Catholic Church in Huron and confirmed at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Wessington.
Bo excelled in both sports and scholastics. Some of his favorite times were spent playing sports, especially football. Bo and his teammates had played sports together since they were very small children as many of them knew each other from the time they started Kindergarten.
Bo was an avid hunter for several years and particularly enjoyed deer hunting trips with his dad and friends. He had taken many big deer in his young age but continued chasing the next “monster” buck.
Bo lived life wide-open; he enjoyed spending time with his many friends with whom he shared his wonderful sense of humor, lively personality and contagious smile. His one-of-a kind personality could light up a room and won the hearts of all he met. He had a special ability to lift the spirits of those around him. Bo had such a kind heart and was always willing to help others. His final act of kindness was through donation of his tissues/organs, which impacted the lives of many.
Bo thoroughly loved all of his friends and family and he was loved by all who came into contact with him. He especially had a soft-spot for little children and they were all drawn to him. Bo was a gentle giant who cared deeply for his nieces, nephew, and cousins.
