Brian W. Bostrom

Family & friends are invited to attend a Memorial Funeral Mass for Brian W. Bostrom, in St. Anthony of Padua Church, 250 Revere St., REVERE on Saturday, February 6th at 12:00 p.m.(Noon). Brian died unexpectedly on Friday, January 22nd at his residence in Tewksbury. Attendees are directed to report directly to church. Mourners are reminded that due to the opening pandemic, mandates issued by the CDC and the Boston archdiocese must be followed. Face masks must be worn at all times & social distancing must be maintained at the church. All attendees are required to provide their name and phone number for contact tracing and temperatures will be checked prior to entering the church. Capacity limits also apply.

Brian was born in Torrance, California and as a young child, the family moved to Everett where he attended local schools. He was a 1995 alumnus of Everett High School. Most of his working career was in the construction field as a laborer and for a short time as a longshoreman. He was currently working for Amazon Inc. as a driver. Brian had the intrinsic gift of being able to express his thoughts and feelings in writing. Brian was currently residing in Tewksbury and was formerly on Winthrop and had strong ties to Revere. His interests were varied, with preferred attention to the “art of graffito” i.e., “graffiti”. Brian had a large collection of personal replicas of random graffiti. 

He was the beloved son of the late Walter F. “Chuck” Bostrom & the late Ann Marie (Flynn) Bostrom. He is survived by his only sibling, his cherished sister, Traci E. Bostrom of Chelsea and his devoted longtime companion Kristina M. Troisi & her family of Tewksbury, with whom Brian made his home together with their faithful canine companion, Rosey. Many faithful and caring aunts, uncles & cousins in both the Flynn & Bostrom clans, also survive Brian. Brian was a unique individual who deeply cared about his family & his extended family. It is difficult to imagine life without Brian. His interment will be held privately at a later time.

In lieu of flowers, remembrances may be made to Medford Overcoming Addiction, in care of Janell Rocco, 16 Steven’s Rd., North Reading, MA 01964.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later time when the world has finished with this pandemic and it is safe for all to gather, share and bring sincere comfort to each other. This celebration will be announced on social media and the funeral home website.

To all our families, friends, and residents of Revere, East Boston, and surrounding communities of the North Shore,

We would like to announce that after 37 years of caring for thousands of families at our 773 Broadway location, on January 31st, 2023 we will be officially RELOCATING, to our new location at 262 Beach St., Revere.
On September 30th, 2022, we proudly purchased the Vazza “Beechwood” Funeral Home – DiPietro and Vazza, Inc. A name that has served families for 102 years. We feel blessed that with all of the interest, the Vazza Family chose us to carry on their century old business and family name. We will become Vertuccio Smith & Vazza, Beechwood Home for Funerals. We will continue to honor the Vazza name and continue our commitment the same way that we always have. We also look forward to having both Louis Vazza and Jessica Vazza Ferragamo alongside of us, as we come together as one.
Our reputation has always been our biggest asset. For many years people always wanted us to have a larger facility, now our facility is the largest funeral home in the area. We will be making many beautiful upgrades to allow our families to have the most elegant facility to honor their loved one.
Although this announcement is bittersweet, as we say goodbye to our home, we are forever grateful for all of you for placing your constant faith and trust in us to care for your loved one. We will continue to do what we are best known for.
Thank you for your friendship and continued support.
God bless you all.
Faithfully,

Your friends at Vertuccio Smith and Vazza.
