Antino Terence Bowden

Antino Terence Bowden, affectionately known to all as “Tino,” passed away and entered into eternal rest on May 21, 2026, at the age of 49.

Born on May 9, 1977, in Charlotte, North Carolina, to Barbara Ewings Bowden and Terry Lee Bowden, Tino began his school journey in West Haven, Connecticut. He later received his primary education through the Richmond County Public Schools and proudly graduated from Richmond Senior High School. Truly the “life of the party,” Tino was well-known everywhere he went, blessed with a warm personality and an unforgettable smile that lit up every room. Committed to self-improvement, he returned to New Haven to attend the Data Institute, earning a place on the Dean’s List twice while studying Dental Assistance. Tino later built a successful career in Connecticut, ultimately serving as a Mechanical Support Representative for ASSA ABLOY and Sargent Manufacturing until his health failed.

Tino will always be remembered as a deeply loving son, brother, nephew, uncle, and devoted friend whose presence brought warmth to everyone. A celebration of Tino’s life will be held on Saturday, May 30, 2026, with a viewing at 9:00 AM and a service to follow at 11:00 AM. Condolences may be expressed online at colonialfunerals.com.
