This GoFundMe is being created to help provide financial support for the Bowles family during this difficult time. Ernest Bowles passed away suddenly on the morning of September 5th. He is husband to Miranda, who is one of our Sea Cadet volunteers, and father of two young teens, one of whom is a cadet in our unit. We are all in complete shock and want to help rally around this family during this time.

All money collected will go towards helping this family with all financial needs they will have over the next several months. Let's help make it possible for Miranda to provide for her family while navigating her life without her best friend. Ernest was a great provider for his family. Let us honor him by helping his family.
