Carl Bowers firefighter died after battling with cancer, Pace community mourn

Carl Bowers Death – The Pace community is honoring the life of Carl Bowers, a firefighter with the Pace Fire Rescue District and an EMT, who passed away on Sunday. On Sunday, Carl Bowers lost his battle with angiosarcoma, a rare kind of cancer that appears in the lining of the blood and lymph vessels. Since 2016, Bowers has worked for the fire district. In 2007, he began working with Escambia County Fire Rescue.

He received a diagnosis of angiosarcoma in 2021. Every year, it is discovered in one in a million people. “Carl was loved by everyone,” Shannon Bowers, Carl Bower’s wife said. “Carl always had a smile. He was always very positive. He was usually positive. He had no strangers ever. He was obviously a public servant because becoming a firefighter was all he ever wanted to do.” “He loved all the firemen there in Pace,” Shannon said.

It’s a little difficult for me because it takes a really special sort of person to want to get up and help their community the way he did, and that’s what he decided to do, all the way up until December 10 of this year. Bowers chose to resign after realizing his diagnosis would have compromised his team’s safety but continued to work despite it. Bowers was 36 years old. His wife, children, and grandchildren all survived him.
