Matthew David Bowen

Matt's final resting place at the Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery, Elwood, Illinois

We were terribly saddened to hear of Matt´s illness and passing. The last time that we saw him was when he and Erika were moving to New York. They stopped to see us (pups included) in Charlotte, NC. We did stay in touch. We ended up moving back to California and had a date to see him in August 2022, when he was here to see his mother. While we stayed in touch on and off, he never shared his illness with us and we don´t have Facebook, which seems to be the place for personal information. So this news took us by surprise. Dear, dear Matt ... we will miss hearing your voice, especially your laugh.
Our deepest condolences to Erika and Charlotte, and all the family.
The picture is one he sent me and his mom in August 2022.

Little Bro,

We will miss you for all time; yet your courage in the face of the Big-C will live on and strengthen us in life. You are truly the most courageous person I have ever known.

Love,
Your Big Brother

I never met Matt's family, but when our paths crossed professionally years ago....we just became friends it was easy to like Matt....he will be missed
