Bowden Tims Maben, Jr.

Bowden Times Maben, Jr. of Mertzon, Texas went home to God on Thursday, Nov. 6, 2025 at the age of 90 years old.

Bo had an adventure-filled life. He loved fishing, boating, hunting and flying small airplanes. His charm and wit made him popular with all who met him. He had a long and diversified career in oil field chemicals that spanned 6 decades.

He left this world in the comforting embrace of his longtime partner Nirma Maben. His faithful daughters Vanda Forbes and Sherrie Hale spent many of his final hours with him comforting him and assuring him of their love. His amazing extended family that showered him with love and affection throughout his life were also faithful vigils through his final days.

A memorial service will be held on November 15 at 10a.m., in the Celestial Throne Church at 2121 Lindell Avenue in San Angelo. It will be followed by spreading of his ashes at Twin Buttes with family members. His grandchildren from his two daughters, Vanda Forbes and Sherrie Hale, will be the honorary pallbearers: Sean Hale, Aaron Hale, Van Forbes and Stephanie Forbes Jackson.

Together we celebrate the life of a man who lived on his own terms with no apologies. May he rest in peace.
