Brian R. Bower

Brian Richard Bower, age 41, of East Troy, WI, passed away peacefully in his sleep from a heart attack.

Brian was born in East Troy, WI, to Michael and Ginger Bower. A 2001 graduate of East Troy High School, he went on to proudly serve his country for 14 years in the United States Air Force. His service included deployments to Afghanistan, Pakistan, Kuwait, Iraq, and Korea. Brian's dedication to duty and his fellow servicemen reflected his deep sense of honor and commitment. Outside of his military service, Brian was happiest in the outdoors. He loved hunting, fishing, ice fishing, and working with old tractors. Those who knew him best will remember his devotion to family, his love of the land, and the strength and warmth he brought to those around him. He was a proud and loving father, son, brother, and husband.

Brian is survived by his son, Draiman Bower; his parents Michael and Ginger Bower; his sister, Elizabeth (Erik) Keith; and his wife, Amy (LaLama) Bower. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Brian will be cremated, and a Celebration of Life will be held in mid-November at the East Troy House, with details to come. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Brian's memory to Veterans Outreach of Wisconsin (https://vowvillages.com/), Woofgang Rescue (https://www.woofgangrescue.com/), or to the family via Venmo at lizkeith-2.

The family would like to extend heartfelt gratitude to the Village of Caledonia Police Department, the Racine County Medical Examiner, Legacy Funeral Home of East Troy, as well as family, friends, and co-workers for their support and kindness during this difficult time. Brian's legacy of service, love, and loyalty will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
