He is survived by his son Matthew, daughter Susan, their mother Lisa, and grandson Donovan. He is also survived by his brothers John and Mark Bowes, sister Susan, many beloved nieces and nephews, and hundreds of wonderful friends. He was predeceased by his parents John and Darlene Bowes.
Matthew was born on November 10th, 1962 and raised in Old Saybrook, CT. He was the life of every party and a light to those around him. Even those who only met him briefly could attest to his larger-than-life personality and his unparalleled sense of humor. He came to every conversation prepared with a cache of jokes and his delivery and wit were unrivaled. Even in the darkest of situations he could offer us levity - something which is particularly missed in this time. He was an avid marksman and a motorcycle enthusiast. Much to the chagrin of his Bears-fan children, he was also a lifelong supporter of the Green Bay Packers. He was a farm boy on the inside who loved spending summers in Missouri with his family. He loved his children more than any father in the world and will be greatly missed and fondly remembered.
Visitation will be from 5:00 until 8:00 PM at Swan Funeral Home, Old Saybrook, on Thursday, December 5. Funeral services will be at St John’s Catholic Church in Old Saybrook on Friday, December 6 at 11:00 AM. Burial will follow at St. John Cemetery, Old Saybrook.
