Dennis Dowe Obituary
1988 – 2018
VIRGINIA -
Dennis Choe Dowe, 29, passed away unexpectedly on Jan. 14, 2018.
He is survived by his father, Robert Dowe II, and stepmom, Jennifer, of Mechanicsville, Va.; his mother, Inna Choe; brother, Robert Dowe III, of Lawrenceville, Ga.; his grandmother, Madeline Dowe; uncles and aunts Julie and John Finley, Kelly Warren, Donald and Melissa Dowe; cousins Ryan and Fawn Finley, Michelle Decosta, Adam and Michelle Warren, Jennifer and Tim Weeks, Samantha Dowe and Riley Dowe, all of South China; uncle Glenn Dowe, of Rome, Ga.; stepbrothers Andrew Lane, and wife, Emilee; and Adam Lane; and the Light of his Life, his son, Weston Cole Dowe, of Richmond, Va.
Dennis was proceeded in death by his Beloved Papa, Robert Dowe; and cousin, Justin Hatch.
Dennis was a charismatic young man who never met a stranger. His sense of humor and laughter were contagious. He had a heart of gold and would give himself unselfishly to the least of us. Dennis will be greatly missed by many.
"For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling." Psalms 116:8.
A memorial service to celebrate Dennis's life will be held Feb. 3, 2018, at Hanover Evangelical Friends Church, Mechanicsville, Va., at 2 p.m.

To all of the Dowe Family in S. China, to Bobby, Inna, Jen and to Dennis' brother Bobby: Mel, Noah, and I send you positive thoughts and love during this difficult time. I only got to meet Dennis a few times, but we did talk a bit through text and Facebook, and I'm so glad he stopped into visit me a few years ago. He is family, but even if he was a stranger, I would have truly liked him. I know he was into some of the music we listen to - The Grateful Dead and Phish, so I thought a quote from Garcia and Hunter would be a nice thought: "Sometimes we live no particular way but our own/Sometimes we visit your country and live in your home/Sometimes we ride on your horses/Sometimes we walk alone/Sometimes the songs that we hear are just songs of our own."
