Statement From ULM head coach Terry Bowden on death of father Bobby Bowden

“My father passed away peacefully early this morning with all six of his children and my mother here by his side.

I couldn’t have asked for a better personal mentor than my father. He was a wonderful husband and father, who relied on his strong Christian faith to provide the foundation for his life. I also was fortunate to be raised by a football coach who had a reputation for coaching the right way his entire career. He was admired by everyone who played for him or coached against him.

As a family, we will embrace all of those wonderful memories and celebrate a life well lived.

My family has been touched by the outpouring of love and support from our families and friends in Warhawk Nation. The Bowden family thanks you.”
