Richard Bowman

Torrey, Utah - Richard Gregory Bowman, age 62, of Torrey, tragically left us on May 20, 2024, in a trucking accident at Deer Creek Reservoir, Utah. He was born August 27, 1961, in Pomona California. He was a fun, loving kid who enjoyed adventures and crazy escapades. He grew up in Southern California, Utah, and graduated from Carbondale High School in Colorado. Richard loved animals and they loved him. I never saw an animal that didn't take to him right away.
In high school Richard's first job was at Frank's Chicago Dogs in Carbondale, Colorado. This instilled in him a love of cooking. As an accomplished chef he took a small-town restaurant in Torrey to #10 in the state.
He served in the US Air Force and loved living in Germany where he enjoyed exploring and skiing throughout Europe. His dream was to live there again someday.
In 1989, he met Kerry Larson who became his best friend and life partner. They have shared 35 years together. Richard was a trucker and enjoyed the open road. He often commented on the beautiful vistas he had seen across America. He was a friend to all; always ready to help out or just listen. Richard had an infectious smile. He leaves behind a legacy of love and kindness and unforgettable memories.
He is survived by his life partner: Kerry Larson; parents: Mary Ann Phillips, Douglas Bowman, and Janet Baker; his siblings: Cristy (Wesley) Huff, Rocky (Sandy) Bowman, David (Kathy) Baker, Kalvin Baker, Howard Baker, Lori (Ryan) Davis, Bryce Baker, Spencer Baker, and many nieces and nephews.
