He was born in Herkimer, NY, on August 19, 1960 to parents, Terence B. Bowers and Eleanor Price Kutulas, later divorced. Raised by his single mom, along with his siblings, Terry Bowers (deceased August 29, 2010), Sheila Castillo (Cris), Tim Bowers (Denise), Mike was a funny, loving son and brother. He loved sports and played baseball and football during his younger years in Herkimer. He was an avid NY Yankee fan all of his life. He graduated from Ilion High School, Ilion, NY, and moved to Salt Lake City, Utah, where he was employed with the County of Salt Lake as a heavy equipment operator for 20+ years. Due to an automobile accident in 2002, Mike suffered a traumatic brain injury. His mother, Eleanor, was his full time caregiver for over 17 years, until his health took a turn for the worse in March of 2019. He was then cared for by the wonderful staff at Brookside Inn and Compassus Hospice, as well as the medical staff of Castle Rock Adventist Hospital. We will forever be grateful for their kind and loving hearts.
Mike leaves behind his mom, sister, and brother, along with son, Michael Bowers, (Bethany) CA; daughter, Ashley Williams (Jake) WY; daughter, Blair Snyder, (Justin) WY; and son, Chris Gaskill (Angela) UT; 15 beautiful grandchildren, and numerous wonderful nieces and nephews. A memorial service will be held in his honor at 6:00 pm Friday, November 22, 2019 at The Connection Church of the Nazarene, 1300 Park Street, Castle Rock, CO 80109.
