Robert "Bob" Wayne Bowen, 57

Robert “Bob” Wayne Bowen of Bayview, Idaho, born in Dayton, Wash., entered into rest Tuesday, July 24, 2012 with family by his side after a resilient battle with lymphoma. Bob was 57 years old and is survived by his wife Deanna Bowen, son Keenan Bowen, parents Herbert and Cletys Bowen and sister Diana Weber (Charlie). His niece Elizabeth Patterson (John), nephew JC Weber (Jessica) and two great nieces also survive him, in addition to numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. Bob graduated from Dayton High School in 1973. He attended both Washington State University and Eastern Washington University, graduating from EWU in 1988.

Bob was a loving man that will be dearly missed by all that had the pleasure to cross paths with him, including his co-workers at Idaho Independent Bank. Known for his clever sense of humor, Bob loved anything associated with the outdoors, especially fishing, gardening and boating. He was also an avid sports fan and was a devoted Washington State Cougars supporter.

A memorial service to remember our wonderful husband, father and friend will be held at the Harvest Christian Center (653 Wagon Road) in Dayton, Wash., Saturday, July 28 at 11 a.m.
