He was born on Dec. 26, 1933, in Chattanooga. He worked in maintenance for Modern Maid for 25 years and retired from DM Steward. He was a marine and stationed in Parris Island. He attended Way of the Cross Baptist Church and was a family man who had a joy for life and a laugh that could fill a room.

Those left to cherish his memory are his wife, Pasty Bowman; children, Debbie (Troy) Simerley, Ricky (Patricia) Bowman, Tammy (Chris) Durham; special sister-in-law, Wanda Culver; many grandchildren and great-grandchildren; one  great-great-grandchild; several nieces and nephews; siblings, Barbara Daniel, Faye Gibson, Terry (Cheryl) Bowman; son-in-law, Ricky Holcomb; daughter-in-law, Diane Bowman; and special friend, Charles Kilgore.
