Ray Bowman Obituary

Ray Eric Bowman, 54, of Durango, died 9/23/2024, Mercy Hospice House, Born 1/24/1970. Service will be held at a later date. Our beloved husband, dad, pop-pop and friend went home to be with our Heavenly father, after a short but very aggressive battle with multiple cancers. He found great peace in knowing that Jesus died on the cross for his sins. We will all miss Ray's infectious laugh and the way his eyes would light up when he would tell a story. He loved living in the mountains. Ray leaves behind his loving wife and teenage son, seven adult children, nine grandchildren, and many close relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by both his parents in 2022. Psalms 6
