John James Bowman Jr., also known as “Little John”, “Jay”, and “Stinky”, 49 of Baltimore, Maryland, passed away on March 18, 2024, from an unknown cause. He was surrounded by his family at the time of his passing.
John was a kind and thoughtful soul that will be missed and remembered by many people whose lives he touched. Even though he was a joker at times, he was still someone who was taken away from us too soon. His family hopes he is riding his bike through the heavenly golden gates and with his dad and brother who passed before him. John, everyone you left in this world hates that you are gone but we are happy that you are home free and painless. We will always love and miss you until we can meet again.

Arrangements for this day are being handled by the family.
