As a new recipient of dentures I was extremely embarrassed and nervous. It was something that Dr.Bowden said that will forever stick with me.. sitting in the chair for the first time he asked, Do you have a good heart medically? I replied with yes.  Do you have good kidneys and liver? I replied with yes. He said so you're telling me the only thing wrong is you have bad teeth? I replied with yes. He smiled so big and said well you came to the right person, and please know you much rather have your teeth fixed than your chest broke open. He was the absolute best!!!! May his soul continue to the Heavens

I just learned of Dr Bowden's passing. My deepest condolences.  Dr Bowden  had been my dentist from 1995 until his retirement.  If anyone asked for dentist recommendations I wouldn't hesitate to refer Dr Bowden. Oh how I loved Dr Bowden.  He always had a story. I mean ALWAYS had a story. If he sensed your discomfort in his dental chair, he rectified it. I followed him from poplar and hollywood office. To the fancy office in the sky at poplar near 240. I lucked up on him again at American Family Dentistry. Even after being married 15 years, he still called me Ms Range (maiden name). I was disappointed to hear of his retirement.  Now devastated to hear of his passing. He was one of the good ones. He'll definitely be missed. 

I am just now finding out about the passing of Dr Bowden.  I was one of his patients for a few years and considered him the best dentist ever. The last time I was in office they told me that Dr Bowden no longer worked there. I was on a mission to see where he went but never could find him. And then Covid hit so I didn’t go to the dentist at all. But Dr Bowden was the best pain free dentist I ever had. His funny jokes also helped to ease my fears. I will miss you Dr Bowden and there will never be another like you. Rest In Peace 

Dr.  Bowden took care of me for many years while my office was in Clark Tower.  I actually looked forward to my dental cleanings as it gave me a chance to visit with him.  He diagnosed and corrected a situation that had  been causing me neck stiffness and pain for many years.  My condolences to his family, I know you will miss him dearly.

Daniel always was friendly and had a smile on his face. As many have said, he had a quick wit and was very intelligent. I graduated with Danny from Messick, but we didn’t become friends until after graduation. My most recent memory is when he contacted me as we first started planning our class reunion.  It was planned for last September (rescheduled for this September). Danny offered to pay for anyone who wanted to come, but couldn’t afford to come up to $10,000. He didn’t want credit for his generosity. He said he had done well, but was aware all our classmates had not. I told him I would let him know & thanked him for his bighearted offer. We always have classmates that need financial assistance. It really touched me that he was so thoughtful. We will definitely  miss him. He was a good friend!

Bowden Family -  Please accept my deepest sympathy on Danny's passing. The loss of a loved one is never easy, but know many are with you individually/collectively through your grief.  May time help you heal and bring you peace.

Respectfully,

I'm sorry to hear about Danny! He was such a nice guy--always enjoyed talking to him at the Messick & band reunions-he will be missed at both! RIP, my friend! With sympathy & prayers to his family!

Danny and I were classmates at Messick. He was so smart and witty. I loved reading his posts on FB. He will be missed. 

We were so saddened to hear about Danny.  He has been a friend of my husband’s, Randy Wilder, as long as I can remember.  He and Danny were church friends from charjean baptist when his father was the choir director and kept that friendship until his death.  Many friends will miss him and his loss will leave an empty chair at the Messick and band reunions many memories and stories will be told in future years as Danny always had a kind word and funny stories to share.  RIP my friend 

I was amazed that he played a trumpet. He would accompany me on piano for Sunday School classes.  I felt close to everyone in the Bowden family, so many more memories.  

Professionally, he was Dr Bowden and our conversations were firm and fact based with a fatherly tone. In between patients he was Daniel, and we shared many laughs over film and food. He took pride in work and family; I took pride in him as my friend. I will truly miss those conversations. Condolences. 

I knew Danny through the band at Messick High School.  I remember him as being very smart and talented.  We kept up with each other on Facebook.  I admired the way Danny spoke his mind and never backed down.  He and I thought alike on many things, but also disagreed.  He and I respected each other's beliefs.  I will always remember him as being intelligent, witty and sarcastic.  My thoughts are with you as you mourn him.  I will miss him as well. 


I have only happy memories of Danny (and me). I am so thankful of the time he and I shared together the last few months reminiscing our Charjean days and friends.  My heart is broken as yours. He was very proud of his children and had such admiration for his own siblings, Becky and Johnny. Hugs to you all.
