Timeline

2010

Bowen was killed around 5:30 p.m. on February 26, 2010, when the Cessna 206 he was piloting crashed on approach to the airstrip at San Pedro Town, Ambergris Caye. Bowen was 64 years old. The crash also killed Michael Casey and Jill Casey, teachers at Gallon Jug Community School on Bowen's Gallon Jug Estate, and their children, Makayla and Bryce, who were from Albany, New York. Bowen was survived by his wife, Lady Dixie Summerscales Bowen, six children, and several grandchildren.

Sir Barry Bowen was granted a state funeral on March 2, 2010, which was attended by Prime Minister Dean Barrow and his wife, leader of the opposition, Johnny Briceño, former Prime Minister Said Musa and other dignitaries. The funeral was held at St. John's Cathedral, Belize City. Bowen was buried with his parents in San Ignacio Town, Cayo District.

1978

Bowen purchased Bowen and Bowen, Ltd., from his father in 1978. Bowen focused on developing his business into Belize's only maker and distributor of Coca-Cola products in the country. He also sought to turn Belikin, brewed by the Belize Brewing Company, into the most popular beer in Belize. Before Belikin, most Belizeans drank imported Guinness stout or Heineken. Once Bowen began producing the locally brewed Belikin in larger quantities, the People's United Party (PUP) raised taxes on imported beers, which had the effect of switching most local drinkers to the less costly Belikin. As of 2010, the Bowen family-owned brewing company controls virtually the entire beer market in Belize, as imports of brands from Mexico and Guatemala are prohibited. Belikin is now the country's only domestically produced beer, following the failure of its competitor, Charger beer. The company currently brews several brands of beer - Belikin, Lighthouse lager, Belikin Supreme lager, and Belikin stout, as well as Guinness stout under a licensing agreement.

1976

Bowen had a large number of other business interests, in addition to his Coca-Cola and Belikin operations. He owned the Gallon Jug Estate, a 130,000-acre (530 km) private nature reserve in Orange Walk District. Within Bowen's Gallon Jug Estate is the Chan Chich Lodge, a world famous Belizean rainforest hotel, and Gallon Jug Agro-Industries, a 3,000-acre (12 km) organic experimental farm which Bowen established to produce cacao and cattle. The farm is also the only commercial coffee grower in Belize. He also owned Belize Aquaculture Ltd., a shrimp farm located near the village of Placencia, Stann Creek District, and a Ford dealership in Belize City. He also served as the director of Belize Airways, established in 1976, which was the country's first national airline.

1968
