Timothy Bowlus Obituary

Timothy Daniel Bowlus, age 61, of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, passed away peacefully at his home on Sunday, October 19, 2025, following a short battle with cancer.

Born July 3, 1964, in Frederick, Maryland, he was the son of the late Jack S. Bowlus Sr. and Barbara Ann Long Bowlus.

Tim is survived by his sister, Holly Wheeler, and husband, Ken; his sister-in-law, Roseanna "Cissy" Bowlus; and his beloved nieces and nephews, Nathan Wheeler, Payton Wheeler, Brandon Bowlus, and Tricia Flook. He was preceded in death by his brother, Jack S. Bowlus Jr.

He will also be fondly remembered by his roommate, Sue, whose friendship and care meant so much to both Tim and his family.

Tim was a member of Chapel Lutheran Church in Frederick, Maryland. He spent most of his career in the hospitality industry. Most recently, he worked as a manager at Holiday Inn Express in Gettysburg.

Tim had a great appreciation for antiques and was known for his cheerful personality-always offering a smile to those around him.

We will miss you Timmy. You used to chase me around the graveyard at Chapel Lutheran when we were kids. You were always so funny and fun to be with.
