Marvin D. Bowman

To the Bowman Family:
I wanted to send a prayer to keep you as well as all his other "brothers and sisters" out here. I knew Marvin through my boyfriend Craig, and I had a great chance to speak with him a few months ago which showed me a side of him that I never would have known, Marv was loyal and loved his friends and I'm happy that Craig had someone like him in his life. My prayer follows:

God, you sacrificed your son so that we and our children would transcend...

I was Marvin's neighbor. I live at 88 Mulberry. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Marv, you will be missed greatly. I will miss your smile and your voice. You always brightened my day. You were a good man, and I am sorry if I never told you that I appreciated you!!

Dearest Marvin,
I will miss you greatly, you were the one person that always put a smile on my face whenever you called us. Not only were you a client, but I thought of you as a friend. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. Rest in Peace.

Man, im going to miss u marv! I remember when we first met at UC. You always had a smile on your face and was enthustiac about everything. you always were a good friend. I will never forget you marvelous.

My prayers are with you and your family

I just want to pass along my condolences to the Bowman Family. I did not personally know Marvin, but I feel as though I knew him through the rest of our Brothers of Iota Phi Theta in Central Ohio. This was an unnecessary and unfortunate tragedy.

To the Bowman Family,

I met Marv only a short time ago, but it feels like I've known him for years! He spoke of you Mr. Bowman, "yeah, my Dad is really cool...", Mrs. Bowman, until he told me that his natural Mother had passed, the way he spoke of you, I would've never known, his youngest sister he said was his "Cat, his confidant", his big brother the Minister, when he spoke of all of you he smiled that beautiful smile!

I just found out of Marvin's demise, I'd...

My prayers are with your family...
