Jeffrey Edward Bowling

Jeff packed a lot of living in his short life. With his curious mind, he was building towers and climbing out of his crib at a very early age. Jeff had a lot of patience when playing with others; he even let his younger brother open all of his presents on his fifth birthday. Jeff enjoyed family beach vacations, playing card games with his family, and pranking his siblings. He perfected sandwich- making thanks to competitions with his grandpa, and practiced for the annual Christmas ping pong tournament months in advance. Jeff was taking apart and building computers at age 15. His profession as an adult was IT, and he obtained several CISCO certifications. As a young adult, Jeff served his country fighting in the Operation Iraq Freedom war. The most important part of Jeff's life was his daughter Alayna, whom he loved immensely. His eyes would light up when he spoke about her, and he enjoyed rough housing and playing with her. Jeff often talked about what he planned to teach Alayna as she grew.

Jeffrey Bowling left a huge, loving family who will carry on his memory. Jeff leaves his daughter, Alayna Richardson; father Edward Bowling (Brenda), mother; Paula Morgan (Ross); sister, Elizabeth Diego (Eric), brother, Richard Bowling, grandparents Dick and Blanche Schuh, many aunts, uncles, and step-siblings.
