Harry's obituary
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Harry "Bubba" Minke, known affectionately as Bubba, on June 16, 2025. Born on April 19, 1984, Harry was a man of kindness, generosity, humor, and love, traits that defined his personality and guided his actions throughout his life.
Harry is survived by his loving sister, Hollie Marcotte, father, Harry R. Minke, beloved nieces, Elayna and Chloe Marcotte, and cherished nephews, Jackson Marcotte, Owen, and Lincoln Waznis. He also leaves behind his Aunt Debra and Uncle Glen Ritchie, Cousin John Ritchie, and Brother-in-law Paul Waznis. He was predeceased by his dear mother, Elaine Minke.
Harry's passions were as varied and colorful as his personality. With a strong affinity for music exemplified by his love for Ed Sheeran, Harry enjoyed making beats and buying records. He appreciated a good Milkshake, was an ardent fan of the film 'Elf', and was a dedicated supporter of multiple Boston sports teams, not limited to the Celtics, Red Sox, and the New England Patriots.
Harry found joy in simple pleasures like walking and spending time with his loved ones. Not a stranger to holding a golf club, Harry loved golfing and any activity that brought him closer to the ocean side, one of his most favored vacation spots.
His dedication and caring nature extended beyond his immediate circles. Known best for his kind-hearted, giving, funny, loving, and dedicated personality, Harry was an active supporter of causes close to his heart such as youth sports, cancer research, and underprivileged kids. His mantra of ‘be a giver,’ continues to inspire those who knew him and will certainly carry on his legacy.
Harry lived his life with the same intensity he had for his favorite color, blue, leaving a vibrant mark on those who had the good fortune to know him. As we mourn his passing, we also celebrate the life he lived and the countless lives he touched in his 41 years on this earth.
