Cecil H. Bowen, Jr.

Cecil H. Bowen, Jr., age 64, went home to be with the Lord on December 14, 2019 at his home, surrounded by loved ones. His journey in life began in California in 1955 and at age 17 years he joined the United State Marine Corp. During his four years of active duty and two years of reserves, he was awarded the Rifle Expert Badge and National Defense Service Medal. His journey later in life landed him and his family in Dawson Springs, Kentucky where he was a long time resident who would go above and beyond for anyone he knew. As a single father of four daughters, they were his world. Cecil was a loving and very proud father, grandfather to his thirteen grandchildren and one great grandson. Cecil will be missed by many.
