ARLO KENNETH BOWIE

Funeral service for the late Arlo Kenneth Bowie, four, was held August 3 in Immaculate Conception Church, Heatherton, with Father Andrew Gillies officiating, assisted by Deacon Art Riley. Burial was in the parish cemetery.

Arlo died July 28, 2019.

Readers at the funeral Mass were Maria Ludlow, Will Bowie and Debbie Bowie. Music was provided by Ty Wallace.

Pallbearers were David Bowie, Andrew Bowie, Olaf Bruekel and Chantel Bruekel.

Born September 17, 2015, in Red Deer, Alberta, he was a son of Tara Breukel and Stephen Bowie. Arlo would light up a room with his big, beautiful eyes and contagious smile. He loved to make people laugh by being a little “goofy”.  He loved to ride his bike, to play with his trucks and Legos, to go to the beach, to play “dynasour” (with his big roar), and his special blankies. Arlo touched many hearts from the west to the east.  He especially loved spending time with his beautiful sister, Willow, his special cousin, Aspen, and all his little buddies from pre-school.  He was enormously loved by all of his family and friends.

Besides his parents, he is survived by his maternal grandparents, Jackie and Olaf Breukel; four aunts, Tanya (John Couch), Chantal (Evan Lavallee), Krystal, Kendra; two cousins, Aspen and River Couch; paternal grandmother, Janet Bowie; many cousins and extended family.

He was predeceased by his paternal grandfather, Kenneth James Bowie.

Memorial donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society in honour of Arlo’s papa, Kenny Bowie.
