It is with heavy hearts that we share the unexpected passing of our beloved Bowen Pinkston. He was an incredible father, a devoted and loving husband, a cherished son and brother, and a loyal friend to so many. He was a U.S. Army veteran who served as an infantry soldier. Bowen leaves behind his wife, Lyla, and their three young boys—August (3), and twin sons Shepherd and Lochlan (10 months). His family was his entire world, and he took great pride in providing for them, loving them deeply, and building a life filled with faith, joy, and purpose.

Bowen was full of life. He had a way of bringing energy, warmth, and steadiness to those around him. Whether as a husband, father, soldier or friend, he showed up wholeheartedly—with love, faith, and a steady presence that made people feel seen, supported, and cared for. While our hearts are broken, we find comfort in knowing Bowen is home with Jesus.

As his family navigates this unimaginable loss, we are coming together to support Lyla and the boys during this incredibly difficult time. Lyla is a stay-at-home mom to their three boys, Shepherd, Lochlan, and August. The family relied on Bowen’s income as the sole provider. Your support is greatly needed. This generosity will help ease the financial burden and allow them the space to grieve, heal, and honor his life. Thank you for your prayers, love, and support during this time.
