BIGREDIOWAN Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 This thread is in memory of a Des Moines Police Lieutenant who passed away today from complications of a stroke that he suffered a few days ago while working off-duty. Lt. Bowen had been a member of the Metro S.T.A.R. Team or SWAT just recently and I worked with him off and on. As many of you know I am a member of this unit. It was a shock to learn of this stroke and apparently it was very severe. I have peace in knowning that he didn't die by the hand of a criminal and that he will not have to live a life of suffering. RIP brother in blue and watch over us from above. We will keep things safe down here and keep watch over your family. Tell SPO Officer Sean Wissink hello for all of us and we will see you seen brother. End of Watch Lt. Dave Bowen September 29th, 2008. Quote Link to comment
