Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetime, is certain for those who are friends. ~Richard Bach It must be true that only the good die young because you were one of the best. Robin's Pond won't be the same without you, your smile, and your laughter. My thoughts are with your entire family, especially Hope and Lilly. You were an awesome father and wonderful friend. Our memories of you will keep you alive in our hearts and put a smile on our faces. We miss you. R.I.P. Love & Prayers

Sean, Take this candle and go light your world! .... I am so thankful that I got to see sean so much this summer and got one "funky" dance at Jack & Kathy's Party...WOW, Sean had some energy! Sean just cracked me up! I agree, Sean was handsome, light hearted, funny and he was just too cute with Lilly and Hope... Seems he was just a little boy not too long ago.. My heart is aching for Cindy, Jeff, Ken and EVERYONE who loved him and everyone I love so much! I have no words.....

I wish I had gotten the chance to spend more time with him but I cherish every moment I did get to spend with him. He always knew how to make me smile/laugh. Sean I love you and miss you so much.

Sean was a wonderful guy. He always was smiling and was always putting a smile on everyone's face. My heart breaks for his two beautiful daughters and his wonderful Family. I also knew sean from School. I actually just bumped into him about 2 weeks ago at Dunkin Donuts and i said to him wow you haven't changed since highschool you are the same sweet guy that you were in highschool and he turned and said to me i am just a happy guy and this is me. I know Seans family and i want to say that Sean touched alot of peoples hearts and he will be missed very much. Please stay Strong and my thoughts and prayers are with your family at this very difficult time. Sean you will be missed and never forgotten.

I went to highschool with Sean and thru friends of friends had the pleasure of spending sometime and laughs with sean. He was a sweet, kind hearted and very unselfish person and he def knew how to make you laugh with the things that he would say! Whitman-Hanson lost another young beautiful soul to soon. My prayers are with you and your family and those precious little girls at this time. May the Lord be with you and watch over you always and forever and even tho we lost an angel here on earth, heaven truly gained and will make sure that he is always there to protect and watch over you. God Bless Bowman family.

Dear Cindy, Words just cant express the sadness and shock I felt when i learned of your loss of Sean. There is nothing one can do to prepare for such a tragedy. From what I have read here Sean was a very outgoing and happy young man and it sounds like there are numerous memories of happy occasions you have shared. Keep them close during these most difficult days. Your MSRC friends are all thinking of you and your family. Lauren Perlman

Well, I guess my favorite memory of you is a really personal one...lol I know it'd make you laugh so I'll tell it. It's kind of a 2 in one! When we first started dating and you took me home to meet your parents and we went down to your basement and started making out and it turned out your dad was in the heating closet, I think...and I shoved you away and you said "whatt?? You know how proud he'd be of me right now?!" I almost peed myself laughing...then another night you decided to take me for a drive to the mall and when we went to leave you put the key in the keyhole on the passengerside and the keyhole came COMPLETELY out and you turned to me all red faced and said "uhh...here, can you hold this?" I thought it was the funniest thing in the world. You were an amazing person and I've never met anyone as happy as you...or as persistant. hehe You will be dearly missed Sean. Love, Erika

Sean, you were just an amazing person. Always knew how to make people laugh/smile. Always dancing in your own mind. Thanks for the memories the last few years. Thanks for listening when i needed to talk "did we just bond?' you were fun to watch chick flicks with 'cuz u liked them'. and i can tell you there wont be a day that your not thought of. i will miss the sandcastle that you built in my kitchen everytime you came over 🙂

I want to start by saying how sorry I am for Seans family and I am praying for all of you every day. I have uncountable memories with Sean that I cherish. We dated for a few months, but I don't think of Sean as an ex-boyfriend, he was my friend first and foremost and our friendship remained strong for so many years. I am still in disbelief and I feel like this is a pain that won't go away, but I know I can carry our memories forever. The memory that I would like to share is a recent one. When I was pregnant with my two year old son, Sean e-mailed me to congratulate me and I asked him if he had any parenting advice for me and he said that parenting is easy, you just have to have fun and enjoy your kids and remember to be a kid yourself. For some reason that has stayed with me for the past two years and just shows what a great father and person he was, because he was right and I have taken it to heart and lived by it. I miss you Sean more that words can say, I know that is cliche, but it is the truth, your laugh and smile was contagious and the world won't be the same without you in it. Please watch over all of us and know we all love you and miss you. God Bless

I first would like to send my deepest apologies to the Bowman Family. I have known the family for my entire life and Jeff and Sean were my brother's growing up. I will never forget their dog Oddie who was so mean and not welcoming to people coming over 🙂 I was always the one who had to break up the wrestling matches between the boys and neighborhood kids. He was an awesome kid growing up. Always happy, smiling,and cracking funny jokes. He was always willing to help deliver the neighborhood newspaper for my brother. I am so glad that we were able to catch up online and get back together and help each other through our life changes with our families. Hope and Lilly are the best girls and good friends with my kids and I hope I am able to keep it that way somehow. Sean, I will forever miss you helping me stay strong and making light of everything. You always kept my head up and helped me when I needed it. You were a true friend, a great father, and an awesome person all around! I don't understand why it was you, but there must be a reason that will come out someday. I wish it wasn't. Please watch over your girls and family. I will forever miss our Fairwood Drive walks with the kids and chatting with you on Friday nights. May you rest in peace. XO

It is a heart breaking moment in anyone's life when they have a loss of a family member. No words, sorry's or my deepest sympathies can fill the hurt, anger and void that is in thier hearts and lives. I never got to meet Sean but if he is a reflection on his Dad Ken Bowman, i am sure he was a smart, funny, witty and strong person. That enjoyed making everyone happy and smile around him. My heart goes out to all of Seans family, fiends and especially his two young daughters Hope and Lilly With my Deepest Sympothies, Robert Tetreault

Sean was always my buddy and best friend. He was always ready to join me in whatever crazy scheme or idea I had. I am proud of the man he became and the friend he was to anyone who wanted to be his friend. Words will never express the Love I have for him and his family. My life is a bit darker, a bit more out of focus now that he's gone. I will miss you until we can be together again. Love Dad.

As I sit here and think of a story about my brother, there is not one story to be told my brothers life was one big happy story in itself. One of our dearest friends told me Sean was a nice genuine person with no bad bone in his body. He never hurt anyone on purpose. The whole world could be blowing up all around us and he would be sitting in the middle of it all with me and he be smiling. He was a protector always helping and protecting , always making sure the family was in tact. I just got home from a seven month tour to iraq and other places he was a big factor why my wife pulled through this deployment.Sean I will miss you and someday I will be up ther little grayer and wrinklier, and you will be the same young 28 year old. Tell John Wayne I say hi and have a shot of whiskey for me. A big piece of me is gone but I will survive you are in a better place now. I LOVE YOU Jeffrey

It's sure been a long time since I have seen Sean, but I remember many times over at the old Cookson's house for cookouts, riding go-carts and dirt bikes, and just being kids. It must have been at least 15 years, but I remember it vividly. May the Lord bless you and keep you, make his face to shine upon you, and give you peace.

Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leafs a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay. ~Robert Frost From the time I met Sean, we had a special relationship. I was blessed to have him as my brother-in-law, and eventually began telling people he was my real brother. He was always there for me, and I'll always cherish the time we spent together, just goofing around. Sean loved Hope and Lilly more than anything else in the world, and he was a great dad. We will never let them forget what a wonderful father he was, and he will live on in all of our hearts forever. I will always love you, Sean.

I remember going to see AC/DC with Sean in 2003. It was great and he had a super cool car at the time. Great concert with the best friends. In my prayers Sean! To the Parents of Sean Bowman: I did'nt know either of you at all. But my heart goes out to you. Sadly to say you have joined the worst parent's club ever. I am there beside you. I lost my 2nd daughter in August of 2010. I feel your pain so much. No parent should ever have to bury a child. It is the worst feeling in the world. There are no words anyone can say to make you feel better. Just living everyday life is very hard after the loss of a child no matter what age they are. I pray you and your family are able to move forward and not forget, but remember the good times you have had with Sean. Remeber it is okay to cry and it is okay to feel restless and angry and all the emotions you are feeling. You are in my prayers. To Sean's daughters, I am so very sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine how difficult this is for both of you girls. You girls have a great Mother and do not be afraid to lean on her, that's what she is there for. She loves you both VERY much. God has blessed you with a great Mom and she will help you with this terrible tradgety. And Justine, it must be hard. You are a strong women. You will get through this. Just know your daughter's need you and you need them. You are in my prayers very much so. It is the Mother's job to keep the nest at peace and it is a hard job indeed. But God gave you the strenght to do it. Let me know if I can help you in any way. I am here for you.

Tell him that we love him and miss him And when he turns to smile, Place a kiss upon his cheek And hold him for a while. Because remembering him is easy, We do it every day, But there is an ache within our hearts That will never go away."

I loved that I have memories from childhood all the way up til now. That I got to know the fantastic person & Dad you were, how hysterical you were & what a stand up "Man" that you turned into! I loved hanging out as "adults" & had looked forward to spending more time together ...and I will miss you! I'm so sad, and still can't believe this.... Much Love, your cuz Marci

I am truly saddened by the death of such a fine young man. I have known Sean and his brother Jeff all of their lives. They grew up alongside my own children. I recently reconnected with Sean when he started taking classes at Massasoit where I teach. It was nice to see him on a regular basis and share some of his hopes and dreams. I will miss him. There are no words of condolence that are adequate for Sean's family. However, let it be known that your grief is shared by many if that is of any solace. Pat Faiella

Sean will be greatly missed by all. Love you Sean. Auntie Nancy.
