David Franklin Bowbeer Obituary
Dave, "Bowbeer", went home to Jesus Christ on Thursday, May 28th 2026. He was the son of Stanley F. Bowbeer Jr and Charlotte M. Bowbeer.

Once he finished highschool Dave went to work for the phone company and had a 35 year career. He fulfilled many positions over those years ranging from union representative, field technician, pole climber, cable, splicer and ground lineman.

Dave loved to spend his free time in a tree stand, dropping a line in the water, and throwing corn hole to whoever was willing to take him on in a challenge. He was never shy when a Johnny Cash song would play and his deep, southern voice would sing along.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Stanley F. Bowbeer Jr. and Charlotte M. Bowbeer.

He is survived by:

- Children: Logan Hart & Caleb Bowbeer

- Grandchildren: Elise Hart, Anthony Hart, & Morgan Bowbeer

- Siblings: Julie Nicely (Benjamin Nicely) Michelle Bowbeer, & Frank Witt, who Dad always claimed as 'his brother from another mother'

- many nieces & nephews

We will remember Dave for his devoted love he had for his family and his friends, his willingness to help others, the dedication of his hard work, his life-giving spirit when he walked into a gathering, his ability to make anyone laugh and for being the loving father and brother that he was.

His funeral will be held at Rader Funeral Home with visitation at 12:00 and service following at 1:00. There will be a burial to follow at Trinity Cemetery.
