Albert Frank Bowling Jr.

Albert was my husband but also a father to Adrian & Stephanie. We spent many happy times together as a family and also stuck together to hold each other up during the challenging ones. We all love him and miss him but remembering his laugh, love and all his jokes will make us smile.

I remember a family get-together where Khabir told me wild stories of his escapades with gangbangers when he was growing up. He told me that his nickname at that time was “Duck,” and I took to calling him Duck after that, which always cracked him up. Khabir was one of the wisest, kindest, funniest human beings I have ever known, and I will always be grateful for knowing him.

Khabir was my inspiration. For years he suffered pain and illness but in spite of that, he always used his time lifting others up. He was a man of men. I will never forget him.

Where can I begin. I have known Khabir my whole life. I have never met anyone who could make me laugh like Khabir. Often I found myself the subject, the material of the story he wove. As kids we survived run in with gangs that later became hilarious intricate narratives he crafted as only he could. Later he became a source of wisdom, inspiration and guidance. All my life I have look up to and admired my cousin. All my life he looked out for and supported me. He will be loved and treasured in my heart and mind forever.

I would truly miss my cousin Jr. He was one of my best cousins when my mother died. He was one of them to help looked out for us, my sisters and brothers and his father uncle Bo and his mother Auntie Bee I would truly miss you cousin I appreciate your love that you always gave me.❤️ Thank you

Khabir is a true champion! He has shown me what being courageous really means. In my personal Buddhist practice, he has been an inspiration. He never complained about anything and even in his conditions he continued to uplift me and everyone else. Khabir, I will miss you in this lifetime. I will continue to send you “Powerhouse Daimoku” for your eternal happiness my friend! Thank you for all you have been in my life and I truly appreciate all of our Cascade District memories.
