Jonah Samuel Bowman

Another shining star has been added to the night's sky. Jonah's light has not been extinguished in his passing. It shines on in each of us that knew him; in our remembrance of his caring nature, those infectious dimpled smiles, and those twinkling eyes. Tom, Julie, Eliza, relatives and friends- please remember that Jonah's remarkable soul continues shining on through our living, loving, and smiling as he did.

Dear Uncle Tom, Aunt Julie, and cousin Eliza, this has been such a shock and it's taken me a long time to acknowledge it has happened. Many of my fondest childhood memories are with you all and with Jonah. Some include playing ping pong (or foosball in the very early days), making home movies, biking around the back bay, playing video games and LEGOs, making it a tradition to see each new Lord of the Rings movie in theaters over the holidays, playing with the wonderful pets you've had over...

Tom, Julie and Eliza,
Jonah was such a special person. His loving presence lives on in the memories of all those who knew him.
May your own happy and wonderful memories of Jonah be a source of comfort and strength.
My love, sympathy and prayers are with you.

Julie and Tom, my heart goes out to you and Jonah's family and friends. Such a huge loss. I can't imagine. He was clearly a very special soul. Thank you for sharing about his addiction and the beautiful clarion call. Sending much love to you.

Dear Julie, Tom, and Eliza,
I have sent offerings to the Tibetan monastery in Woodstock, NY. to light a butter lamp to honor Jonah, and how much he is loved. The lamp will be lit for 10 days. You all are in my thoughts constantly, sharing your grief and loss. I am sending you so much love.

Tom, Julie and Eliza,
Please know our hearts are broken for you all. This disease is a taker not a giver. Jonah was a lovely soul from a beautiful family that we know and love. It is difficult to say much more.....Love to you all.

So sorry for this great loss to all that knew and loved him . May the memory of this gentle soul be an inspiration to others in their struggle with addiction. Sending you all my love and caring .

I became friends with Jonah through our psychology class at USM this past semester. Although I only knew him for a short time, he shared so much with me about his life, family, his past, and his aspirations. Jonah expressed a great amount of gratitude for everyone in his life, especially his parents and friends. He once told me a story about an older friend of his who showed him right from wrong, left from right. Jonah confided in this friend, he was perhaps one of Jonahs most important...

Dearest Tom, Julie and Eliza... My heart broke for you all when I heard this news of the passing of your beloved son/brother, Jonah... I know how much he meant to all of you and remember many stories shared by Tom. I am so sad for you and want you to know that Leo and I are here for you if you need our support and love. Know that his bright Spirit will live on in the Spirit realms for eternity and always in your hearts. Thank you for your raw honesty in sharing about this... May Jonah's...
