Jeffery Bowden Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 22, 2025.
Jeffery Doyle Bowden left this earth on August 23, 2023, to his eternal home to be reunited with the family who went before him, with his youngest sister and two sons at his side.

He was welcomed home by his parents, Lon and Betty Bowden, along with his sisters Latrecia (Treaty) Snow and Laretha Lively. His sister, Lonna O'Handlin, followed him shortly after.

Jeff is survived by his sons:

- Zac Bowden and wife Tamura of Little Elm, Texas

- Austin Bowden and wife Sarah of Piedmont, Oklahoma

- Taylor Bowden and husband Jeremy of Moore, Oklahoma

He is also survived by his grandson, Jayden Bowden, and his sisters:

- Marlana Williams and husband Don of Duncan, Oklahoma

- Medeah Kitsmiller and husband Zane of Edmond, Oklahoma

He also leaves behind several nieces and nephews who loved him dearly.

Jeff was a kindhearted soul who loved to laugh. He enjoyed fishing, NASCAR, watching WWF/WWE, and playing video games with his sons when they were young. He never met a stranger and was always friendly, doing his best to enjoy life.

Born on July 11, 1960, Jeff was the only son among five sisters who doted on him often. He loved his boys with all his heart and was proud of each one of them.

He is deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
