Event date: May 03, 2016 to August 06, 2016
David S. Bowman of Richmond Hill passed away peacefully in the early morning on Nov. 21, 2015. He was a Senior DeMolay of Manomeskeegan Chapter.
He was a devoted father, a loving husband, an American hero, a role model and mentor for most anyone who met him. His life impacted countless numbers of people in a positive way as he lived and as he led -- by example.
He was born in Germany in 1954 and in his 20-plus years in the Army, he saw nearly every continent on the planet. Not one to stop growing and learning, he did not sit idly by when he retired, but worked in many more fields from being a master gardener to a bounty hunter and even earning a Bachelor's Degree in Information Technology, specializing in network administration.
He is survived by his parents, Elmer and Audrey Bowman; brother, Daniel and his wife Kathy; sister, Shari and her husband Bill; David's wife; Mary; daughter, Carrie and her husband Gabriel; his son, David and his wife Michelle; and six adoring grandchildren who all love their "poppy" very much.
In lieu of flowers, a tribute fund has been set up at the John Wayne Cancer Center. Just put David S. Bowman in the memo section of the check mailed to: John Wayne Cancer Institute, Public Affairs and Development Department, 2200 Santa Monica Blvd., Santa Monica, CA 90404.
