September 14th, 2023, ROBERT STEVEN BOWERS, 61, of Milton, W.Va., passed peacefully at home surrounded by his beloved family and friends. Summer gave way briefly into a cool, clear Fall Day as Rob was welcomed into the arms of the Lord.
He was born February 11, 1962, in Cumberland, Maryland, to Robert V. and Patricia Bowers. He is preceded in death by his father-in-law Philip Cyrus. In addition to his parents, Rob is survived by his loving wife Tressa Cyrus Bowers; one daughter, Jessica Pennington (Don); one son, Dr. Robert C.

Rob was a member of Milton Baptist Church where he served as an usher, a deacon, and a trustee. He was a member of the Gideons International as well as a member of Milton Lebanon Lodge No. 68. He attended Milton High School and Marshall University where he lettered in football for four years and served as a captain as a senior. He was an avid outdoorsman and hunter. If he wasn't with his family, he could be found upland hunting with his beloved dogs. Rob was employed by State Farm Insurance where he met many lifelong friends.

Our heart is saddened by the news of Rob's passing. He was one of the most humble and dedicated individuals I ever worked with. I was always grateful for his support and his infectious smile even in the most challenging of times. While the world is a little less by his loss, Heaven is rejoicing by his presence. May the family always, always know that he made such a valuable difference in the lives of many and leaves a legacy of honor and respect that sets a strong pathway for everyone to follow. May God shower the family with His blessing and keep all comforted in His loving arms as you go through your lives in the light of His love and grace. Our deepest sympathy to you. You remain in our prayers.

Rob had two years on me. We played on the same high school football team. Numerous times he could've plowed me into the ground. He didn't. Off the field, he was friendly to me. A great guy.
