Dr Bower was a huge help to me after I had a bad dirt bike accident back in September of 2013. His compassionate and excellent chiropractic care was a such a huge blessing to me and it helped me fully recover. I also really enjoyed the conversations we would have when I would see him. He was an outstanding man and a skilled chiropractor. He will be truly missed.

I have known Dr. Bower my entire life. He treated my grandmother, mother and myself. When I first started going there, we would talk about what kind of care I wanted when I grew up, a 1976 Trans Am. He would tease me about getting that car. I stopped going and then went back to him as an adult. He remembered what kind of care I wanted. He helped me a great deal and He was always kind. To the entire Bower family, my deepest condolences on your loss.

Please accept my sincere condolences dear family and friends. May prayers strengthen you and memories comfort you. And may you find hope and comfort in God our Father, who loves us, comfort your hearts and "make you firm". (2 Thessalonians 2:16, 17).

Sharon, Brad and Shalyn,
My heart hurts with you. Many fond memories fill my thoughts about Dr B. I remember him requesting to sing his favorite song - Victory in Jesus. He is now living the words of this song. "I heard about a mansion He has built for me in glory....and some sweet day I'll sing up there The song of victory." Wish I could comfort you personally but my prayers and virtual hug are wrapping around you in love. Kory Kittle
