The sun rose on Kirtlan Thomas Bowers Thursday, September 2, 1993, son of Angel Ruffin and Thomas Williams.

Kirtlan's smile lit up the room. If you needed help with anything, he never hesitated to assist you. He had a love for cars, music, free style (BMX), and riding four-wheelers.

He attended Hedgesville High School. Later, he went to Job Corps where he received his GED and certificate for mechanical/detail trade.

Kirtlan had a passion for cooking. He was employed at Rustoleum and also involved with Serenity SDA Community Outreach Program. He had the biggest heart and lots of love. He never hesitated to tell you those three special words; "I love you."
