Christopher Stephen Bowman, 57, of Martin, TN has gone home, leaving behind a circle of those who loved him.
What we offer here is gratitude wrapped in remembrance.
Christopher's story began in 1968, and unfolded across the years that followed.
Christopher spent his working life as ['several local businesses including Cine Theater and LaCabana Restaurant'] and held deeply to the Methodist faith — and was, by all accounts, loved by those who knew him best.
Belief, when lived, becomes a kind of inheritance.
