Donal E. Bowins Obituary (1971 - 2025)

Donal "Debones" Enrique Bowins peacefully went home to be with the Lord on October 3, 2025, at his home in Frederick, MD. Born October 8, 1971, in Frederick County, MD, he was the son of the late Don C. and Patricia E. Bowins. Donal attended Frederick High School and later graduated with his GED. He loved watching and betting on football games and was a great handyman; if something was broken, he could find a way to fix it. He was also a collector of many things, which often led us to question, "Why does he have twenty of the same thing?" He would simply look at us and say, "Don't worry about it!" You could always find him building or fixing something. We called him the "Jack of all trades!" He leaves to cherish his memories his: six children, Ariana Walsh, Devon Walsh, Bryhanna Tiner, Aniston O’reilly, Damoni Burhardt, and Michael Alger; four sisters, Chandra Bowins-Ponder, Shant’e Bowins, Eraina Forrester and Preena Lindsay; one brother, Don Bowins Jr.; four grandchildren; two aunts, Enez Boozer (Emerson) and Ula Scott; and a host of nieces, nephews, family and friends. Donal had his own special relationship with all of his siblings, but he was very close to his brother, Don, and sister, Shant’e. He will be truly missed by his childhood best friend, Charles King, and lifetime caring neighbor, Inje Naylor. We will all miss you!
