Bob was part of The Purple Promise Foundation to End Melanoma family; our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Marilynn, who is a member of our board of directors, and their family. He will be deeply missed by all 💜

It is with profound sadness and deep gratitude that we share the passing of one of our most treasured volunteers, Bob Bowler, who dedicated over four decades of unwavering service, love, and leadership to our athletes, families, and community.

Bob leaves behind a legacy that cannot be measured in years alone, but in the countless lives touched, the friendships forged, and the joy sparked in every athlete’s heart. His impact will continue to ripple through our community for generations.

We extend our deepest condolences to his family during this time.
