Gary Dale Bowen, 57, passed away on November 3, 2025, in Butte, Montana. Born on March 29, 1968, Gary grew up in Lodi, California, and graduated from Tokay High School.

Gary proudly served in the U.S. Army before embarking on a diverse career path. While he held many jobs throughout his life, he found his greatest joy in being a salesman and manager. His passion for connecting with people was evident in every role he took on.

For 27 years, Gary was married to Kimberly Van Elsberg Bowen. Together they shared a deep bond and a love for crafting. Gary especially enjoyed creating handmade items with Kimberly for vendor events and traveling far and wide to share their work with others.

He is lovingly remembered by his wife Kimberly; daughter Aireanna Bowen; sons Blake Bowen and Cordel Bowen; nieces Xylia and Aspen; and nephew Dexter. He was preceded in death by his mother Jane Muff; father Cleve Bowen; grandparents Ellwood and Esther Machen; sons Kelly Bowen and Dale Bowen; and granddaughter Macy Jem.

A celebration of Gary's life will be held at a later date. In honor of his memory, donations may be made to a charity of the donor's choice.

May his memory be a joy to all who knew him.
