The Kansas State High School Activities Association is saddened to inform you of the death of retired Assistant Executive Director, Rick Bowden. Mr. Bowden’s family notified me of his death late Thursday evening. At the time of his death, Mr. Bowden had been working in his shop at the couple’s rural home near Waverly, Nebraska.

Memorial services are pending. When the family notifies us of the arrangements, the KSHSAA will post information on its’ website at www.kshsaa.org. We extend our thoughts and prayers to the Bowden family at this most difficult time. Kansas has lost a great native son who cared deeply for this state, it’s schools and our young people.
