Dustin Gower

ANSON – Dustin Dennis Gower passed away Saturday morning, Feb. 21, 2026, from a coronary. Dustin would like you to know that he got “the call from above”. It was a bit earlier than expected and he wished he could stay longer; however, the call was for an appointment he could not miss and would not be returning from. His new assignment comes with a huge sign-on bonus, a reunion with his father, Toby, his Memé, and so many others he had not seen in a very long time.

His new mission takes him to a wonderful place where he can shoot pool, fish, hunt, and game to his heart’s content. He left detailed instructions to his somewhat dysfunctional yet loving family to celebrate his mission here. Dustin described himself as a husband, father, big brother, son, uncle, and friend. Dustin was fiercely protective of his family and anyone he cared for.

He was a drywaller to perfection, a carpenter, and mechanic. Dustin worked in the past for Mobile Mini in Tempe, Ariz. alongside his father, Cianbro Corp., and Sheridan as a general laborer. He also owned and operated Gower and Sons Automotive Repair in Anson.

Dustin graduated from Casa Grande Union High School in Arizona, then drove cross country to be with his friends for graduation at Carrabec High School – Class of ’98, in three days at 18 years old.

He leaves behind the love of his life, of 24 years, Elizabeth A. Daisey, their two sons, Toby-Nicholas and Robert Gower of Anson; his mother, Leisa Hilton Bovenzi; his brother, Ted and wife Charie Gower, two nieces, Amelia and Callie of Starks; his grandfather, Robert Mason of Anson; father-in-law, Robert Daisey of Cape Cod, and stepfather, Anthony Bovenzi of Hamlin, N.Y.; and several aunts, uncles; and cousins.

Dustin was predeceased by his father, Toby E. Gower; his paternal grandfather, Edward R. Hilton, his maternal grandmother, Diane C. Bourassa, his step-grandfather, Clifford Bourassa, and paternal grandmother, Sylvia Mason.

A special thank you to the team at R.F.G.H. who tried and worked so hard to save our Dustin.

Celebration of life to be held at the Garrett Schenck School Auditorium on Sunday, March 8 at 1 p.m.
