Mr. Bowen was born in West Palm Beach, Fl. in 1946; he would have been 59 years old in March. He came to Warner Robins in 1950 and lived in this area all of his life. He was part of the first graduating class from Northside High School. He retired as a Georgia State Correction Officer. Bert was in the National Guard and a certified fire fighter of the Crooked Creek Fire Department of Eatonton, Ga. He had many hobbies such as hunting, horses, guns and fishing; somehow he always knew just how to fix everyone’s fishing pole to be able to catch the biggest fish. Bert was always proud to be named after his father’s pilot and co-pilot from World War II. He was of Baptist faith and a former member of Second Baptist Church. His brother, Vernon C. Bowen, preceded him in death.
