Robert Joseph Nowlan

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Robert Joseph Nowlan, who was called home on March 30, 2025, at the age of 66. Born on July 5, 1958, Robert was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend who touched the lives of many with his kindness, generosity, and unwavering love for his family.

Robert shared 25 beautiful years of marriage with his beloved wife, Ana C. Nowlan. He was a proud and loving father to his sons, Bobby P. Nowlan (wife Christina Nowlan) and Corey P. Nowlan (partner Emily Wyatt), both of Venice, Florida. His greatest joy was being a grandfather to Robby D. Nowlan, Cole J. Nowlan, and Amberlynn A. Nowlan, each of whom held a special place in his heart.

Robert is also survived by his dear siblings: Theresa Tamas (husband Ted Tamas) of Gardner, Massachusetts, Lisa Prentiss (husband Allan Prentiss), of Hubbardston, Massachusetts, Victor Nowlan (wife Cindy Nowlan) of Westminster, Massachusetts and Paul’s beloved wife, Doloris “Dodi” Nowlan of Ashby Massachusetts. He was a cherished uncle to nine nieces and nephews and 10 great nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his loving parents, Rudy and Huberte Nowlan, as well as his brothers, Joseph and Paul Nowlan, and nephew, Paul Nowlan.

A man of deep compassion and integrity, Robert was a true gentleman in every sense of the word. His caring nature and giving spirit left a lasting impact on all who had the privilege of knowing him. He loved his family deeply and was loved just as profoundly in return. His presence will be sorely missed but forever remembered in the hearts of those who knew him.
