Paul Michael Bowen

Paul Michael Bowen, a father, grandfather, brother, friend, boating and car enthusiast died on June 8, 2026 at the age of 77 in Baltimore, Maryland surrounded by his three children and loving family after living with Parkinson’s disease.

Born on July 17, 1948, in Toledo, Ohio, he was the third of 14 children to Claude and Rita Bowen. He was the eldest son.

He was a loving grandfather who delighted in his five grandchildren.

He is survived by his daughter, Theresa Bowen Hatch, her husband, Steve Hatch, and their children, Quinn and Jackson Hatch; his daughter, Brittany Bowen, her partner, Kevin Barrett, and their children, Aria, Brielle and Charlotte Barrett; and his son, Sam Bowen, and his fiancée, Geneva Pohl.
