Life story

Brent Lamar Bowman died unexpectedly in his Bowman Family home on July 4th in George, Washington at the age of 67.

Brent was born on February 7, 1956, in Downey, Idaho to Grant & LoRene Bowman. His family then moved to Quincy where he spent his tenure of school and was a member of the Class of 1975. Brent then pursued his passion continuing his education at Snell School to become a mechanic. He returned to the Bowman Family Farm to apply his trade there along with a few other local businesses. He married his first wife Susie Gray, his high school sweetheart, in April of 1973 and had two children. He then married his second wife in 1980 and had four more children.

Brent was accomplished at farming and often used his mechanical gifts to help whenever he could. He is known by his kids and grandchildren for his love of Chevy cars & racing, and his countless Amazon orders for the latest gadgets, tactical bags, flashlights, and coins. Also, his late-night addiction to the Shopping Networks Knife Collection series. Moreover, his love of his best friend Molly & photography went together perfectly, gracing his family with countless pictures of Molly, and even more beautiful were the sunset and sunrise photos he would often capture.

Through all his life’s highs & lows, trials, and tribulations, he grew spiritually and loved his children & grandchildren. He was most passionate about his grandchildren, calling, texting, & going out of his way to be a part of their lives. For those who left the door open for Brent, he made a forever impact on their lives and has left a huge hole that can never be filled.

Brent was a dedicated life-long member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. His family, mainly, his brother, nephews, & nieces were his spiritual guides and the inspiration that gave him strength daily. Without their unconditional love and support, he would not have survived the toughest and lowest times of his life.

Brent is survived by his children, Shannon (Stephen) Dyer, Brandi (Aaron) Wagner, Cassie (Jason) Bushman, Brittany (Andrew) Deel, Chad (Jessica) Bowman, & Lacey Tebow. His grandchildren Kelly (Tyler), DJ (KinZee), Mia, Harlee, Trenton, Nathan, Natalie, Kloie, Kayla, Brooklyn, Kimber, Oliver, and his great-granddaughter, Layla. His brother Alan (Sue), brother-in-law Mike (Ellen), and sister Julie. He is preceded in death by his parents Grant & LoRene, brother Steve, sister Peggy, niece Staci & first wife Susie.

Graveside services will be held at 10 AM on Friday, July 21, 2023, at the Quincy Valley Cemetery.
