WILLIAM D. COWAN

William D. Cowan, age 71, known to many as “Billy Bumm”, passed away the Morning of Saturday, November 30, 2024, at Landmark Hospital in Woonsocket, RI, after a courageous battle with cancer. 

A proud U.S. Army veteran who served during the Vietnam War, Bill spent over 15 years as a dedicated truck driver. He was a lover of music, Westerns, and the simple joys of life on the road.

He is survived by his son Jai Cowan and wife Erica of Jewett City, CT; his grandchildren, Lola Cowan of Coventry, RI, and Odin Cowan of Jewett City, CT; his sister Darlene Cowan of Woonsocket, RI; his brother Gerald Cowan of Paducah, KY; and several nieces and nephews.

Bill’s family and friends will forever remember him for his humor, strength, and love of storytelling. Services will be announced at a later date. 

Donations in Bill’s memory may be made to further the research of cancer or any organization to benefit US Veterans.
