Steven Bowman Obituary

Steven Allan Bowman, age 70, passed away suddenly on March 25th, 2026. A proud veteran of the United States Navy, he was a man who lived a life of quiet service, always putting others' needs before his own. He found his greatest joy in the company of his beloved cats and the grit and brotherhood shown in Navy SEAL movies.

He is survived by his children, his brother, and his extended family and friends who will miss his selfless spirit. He was preceded in death by his mother.

His "watch" has ended, and he has finally reached the calm waters he worked so hard to provide for everyone else. Fair winds and following seas, Sailor.

"Burial services with full military honors will be conducted at Southwest Virginia Veterans Cemetery, Dublin, VA, on April 7th, 2026 at 2 pm."
