Daniel "Danny" Bowen

Mr. Daniel Shore Bowen, known by all as “Danny”, passed away peacefully at his home in Tobaccoville, NC surrounded by his girls on June 16, 2022, at the age of 81. He was born on December 20, 1940, in Forsyth County to the late Leslie Shore (“Tuck”) Bowen and Rachel Doss Bowen. He graduated from Northwest High School and then completed a Bachelor of Science Degree at East Carolina College in 1965. After a short career as a teacher in Davidson and Stokes Counties, he returned to his passion for wood-working and became known locally as a carpenter and home builder. He eventually established his own business, Bowen Cabinets, in Tobaccoville, NC from which he retired in 2002. He was inducted into the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Sports Hall of Fame in 1983 for his outstanding achievement in high school basketball. Danny was a devoted New York Yankees fan and an avid fox hunter for many years.  He also enjoyed his vegetable garden and playing golf with friends. In his retirement years, he enjoyed playing bluegrass music with his wife, Linda and hosted many bluegrass jams at their home. He also enjoyed attending once-a-month lunch gatherings with his Northwest High School friends. Mr. Bowen was a faithful member of Mizpah Moravian Church where he served and participated in many activities. Mr. Bowen is survived by his wife of 56 years, Linda Warren Bowen; his daughter, Jill Gardner of Kernersville, NC; his daughter, Jennifer Bannon (Jack) of Catonsville, MD; a very special granddaughter, Aubrey Jean Bannon of Catonsville, MD; a sister, Sue Bowen Lide (Ted) of Winston-Salem, NC; and many beloved cousins, nieces, great nieces, a great nephew, and dear friends.
