Below are some memories/stories/words that some people closest to Bojan wanted to share about him:
"May his soul rest in eternal peace and provide guidance for his family and all those who were lucky enough to know him. Because of him and the healthy organs that were donated, 4 others were able to wake up today in hopes for a better future. Nothing is promised in this cruel cruel world, but we need to hang on to any positives as much as we can. Life really is too short.
I will hold you in my heart until the end of time. Your blonde shaggy hair when we were little, the best basketball player to grace the Samara Apartments, and your kind friendship to me and our entire group since the day we arrived here from Europe-- we really were all we had.
This is one of the messages I saved from you:
"Saraaaa!! I'm doing better than I thought I would be. I'll call you to party once I'm available. Thanks for caring."
Hope you're rocking out in heaven. Missing you but feel you so close. ❤️"

"We all love and miss you so much Bojan, I wish we could have had more time together, even though most of it was always spent with you making fun of me. I never met my match until I met you, and you always found a way to outsmart me, and it was my favorite thing about you. I am nothing but lucky to have been able to grow up in your presence, and more importantly, to call you my cousin. All the girls loved you and your personality truly did light up a room. As painful as it is, I know you are in a better place, and don't worry about Igor Kalezić, we will take care of him :)"

"U novembru bi slavio dvadeset sedmi. Nije ga dočekao. Sudbina se grubo poigrala i uzela ga. Kažu smrt ne bira, bolje bi bilo da bira i da nam ostavi djecu na miru. Bol, tuga, nevjerica u svima nama. Zar je moralo ovako? Ne možemo ni naslutiti kako je porodici i koliko je strašno što je već stigao do kraja puta a nije maltene ni krenuo. Najljepše uspomene prvih godina u Americi vezane su za Samaru, divne bosanske porodice s kojima je bilo lakše opstati u ovoj zemlji, na djecu koja su se voljela i predivno družila. Sjećam se plavog nestasnog dječaka velikog srca koji je izrastao u pametnog, zgodnog momka još većeg srca koje je nastavilo da kuca u grudima nekog drugog, možda isto divnog momka, utjeha, ne dovoljna jer Bojana više nema ali ipak utjeha. Naš divni dječace plavi, srećo naša, spokojan vječni san ti želimo a pregolemu tugu roditelja koja će ih pratiti dok su živi možemo probati makar malo ublažiti lijepom riječju i toplim dodirom. Mala bosanska zajednica plače sa vama, a evo i nebo plače za njim."

"Rest in Peace Bojan. My heart is aching so badly, I can't believe you're gone. We were all so lucky to have grown up with you and have you in our lives <3 Gone too soon."
-Sanda Milovic
"My heart aches. Bojan will always be remembered in my heart as the cutest and sweetest shaggy haired blonde boy and I am SO lucky I got to spend my incredible childhood with him. We were all a huge Bosnian family that didn't grow up with money but with love from one another and that's all we needed. Here's an entry from my diary-
"Today we were playing truth or dare in the park and Bojan had to bear hug me.. I think he likes me. I love him, but please don't tell anyone that"
This is my favorite picture of us; I'm forever keeping you in my heart and in my mind because your light shines forever. Love you always. Rest in peace buddy "
-Ena Grabovica
"This tragedy is still a shock to my family and I. No words can describe how we feel... Bojan,you will be missed and always in our hearts!! Rest in peace cousin! "
-Maja Stojcic
"I still can't wrap my mind mind around it. So young and so bright, Bojan will always live on in our memories and hearts. We were more than friends and even cousins, we were like brothers. I always looked up to Bojan growing up together. I will forever cherish the laughs we shared and the times we fought. Words can't even describe how much we all miss you and love you. Rest in peace, brother."
