Gary Bowman Obituary
With solemn hearts, we announce the passing of Gary Bowman (Bloomington, Indiana), born in Hartford City, Indiana, whose presence will be deeply missed, having departed on January 18, 2026 at the age of 62. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.
In the soft embrace of remembrance, we recall the profound impact Gary had on those he encountered along his journey. Though Gary may have slipped beyond the veil of mortality, his essence lingers like a faint fragrance in the air, a lingering reminder of the beauty and complexity of the human experience.
He is survived by: his parents, Gary Bowman and Carolyn Bowman (Smith); his siblings, Angie Dearduff (Kris) and Kevin Bowman; his wife Martha Heath Bowman; and his children, Ian Bowman and Olivia Schnell (Brandon). He is also survived by aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, and friends.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests you consider honoring Brian's memory through a donation to the Indiana Nature Conservancy or the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, or by planting a native tree in your own community.
