It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Gary Shaun Bowman on June 15, 2025 at the age of 58 yrs. old.

Gary was born in Othello Washington to Frances Gary Bowman and the late Penny M. Fleming. Gary grew up in Moses Lake, WA until enlisting into the United States Army in 1984 at the age of 17 where he achieved getting his GED.
