Justin Cole Bowes, 40, departed for heaven and was called home to the arms of God and is now at peace. He was the loving son of Hayes T. "HT" Bowes and Annie Williams Bowes and cared deeply about his family, especially his grandmothers. Justin began his passion for searching for arrowheads as a teenager. He was talented in many ways from drawing, carpentry, welding, and making you laugh. Justin went from winning awards as class clown in school to serving as vice president of FFA his senior year before graduating from Currituck Co. High School. Justin worked as a certified welder at Northwest Welding Associates. He received a kidney transplant in 2017, a gift of life from his cousin, Crystal. This gift gave him a better life for several more years. His family will forever treasure those years with him.

Besides his parents, left to cherish his memory are his maternal grandmother, Margaret "Dean" Williams; paternal grandmother, Gertrude "Ann" Bowes; brother, Tim, Jr. (Kim); niece, Taryn; aunts and uncles, Margie (George), Aubrey (Leslie), and Allen (Tara); several cousins, most notably, Crystal and Casey. Justin was predeceased by his doting grandfathers, Aubrey Williams, Sr. and Hayes Bowes and beloved aunt, Michelle Williams.
