Josh Ryan Bowser, 45, went to meet the Lord on Labor Day September 7, 2020 at his home in Pearland, Texas. Josh was born April 11th, 1975 in Pasadena, Texas. He was the son of Loretta and James Bowser. He was preceded in death by his parents, and daughter Angel Bowser. Josh is survived by his wife of 19 years Lisa Snyder Bowser, sons Christopher, Chandler and Charles, and daughter Alyssa. Sisters, Jeanee Wells, husband Blair, Sue Ann Bowser, wife Jenny, brothers Shawn Bowser, wife Mary, Chad Bowser, wife Sharlene, nieces Allison Wells, Kelsey Wells, nephews Chad Baker, Cameron Bowser, and aunts Jean and Rita Bowser. As a young child, Josh grew up in the Wood Meadow neighborhood located in the Houston area. He went to Burnett elementary school and intermediate school at Thompson Junior High. He was fortunate to have a group of friends that he shared from a very early age throughout his life. Josh graduated from J. Frank Dobie High School in 1994 where he enjoyed school and loved playing football. From those years in school, he made lifelong friends and he developed a bond with many that was like a brother. He enjoyed all sports, loved animals, aviation, barbecuing and all holidays; especially the ones that involved fireworks. Josh was a friend to all, never met a stranger, he had a gentle and kind spirit, and had a wonderful sense of humor that brightened everyone’s day. Josh and Lisa were married on April 28th, 2001. Josh loved his family and worked each day to provide and care for them. He enjoyed spending time with his family and loved to make each holiday as special as he could. Whether it was time spent watching movies in the backyard by a fire or on a family vacation; he wanted his loved ones to know his love for them. Josh started his career at Southwest Airlines in 1999 and enjoyed a 21-year career with the company. This was a perfect job for him as he enjoyed working hard and he also loved being around aviation. Josh considered Southwest a second home and had many dear friends over the years. Josh was an immense presence in our lives and will forever be remembered as always willing to lend a hand, bringing a smile and laughter everywhere he went. We were fortunate to have him as long as we did, but grieve his loss as he was taken much too soon. He will be dearly missed every day until we all see him again in Heaven. The family will receive friends from 1-3 p.m. on Saturday September 26nd at Santana Funeral Home, 5352 Katy Freeway, Houston, Texas 77007.
