It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Jacob "Jake" Bowsher Sr., who left this world on July 27, 2025, at the age of 45. Born on December 1, 1979, Jake lived a life defined by love, hard work, and unwavering devotion to his family.

Jake will always be remembered for his sweet and kind nature, his hard-headed determination, and his unmatched work ethic. He wore many hats throughout his life, but none more proudly than those of a loving husband, dedicated father, and cherished Paw-Paw.

He devoted many years to the towing industry, where he was known for his integrity, strength, and perseverance. Beyond his work, Jake was a man who found true joy in the simple pleasures of life. He loved sports-especially softball-and spending time outdoors fishing. These passions brought him peace, laughter, and countless memories with those he loved.

Jake's greatest source of pride was his family. He leaves behind his beloved wife, Jessica Bowsher; his children, Rebecca Bowsher and Jacob Peter Bowsher Jr.; and his three beautiful granddaughters, who will carry their Paw-Paw's love in their hearts forever. His memory will also live on in the countless lives he touched with his kindness and generosity.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, August 23, 2025, at 11:30 AM at Fred Poppe Park Athletic Field, where family and friends will gather to honor Jake's life, share stories, and find comfort in one another.

Jake's presence in our lives was truly a gift. Though he will be dearly missed, his spirit will live on in the love we share and the memories we hold close.
