Brody Lee McDowell, age 40, of Colorado Springs, Colorado, passed away unexpectedly on October 31, 2026.
Born on July 2, 1986, Brody was a man with a remarkably kind heart who was deeply loved by many. Throughout his life, he faced and overcame numerous obstacles, developing a resilience that defined his character. Brody always dreamed of owning his own company, a goal he proudly achieved when he founded McDowell Moving in Colorado Springs. He was incredibly proud of what he accomplished with his business, and he became well-known throughout the community for his kindness and unwavering willingness to help others.
When he wasn’t dedicated to his business, Brody found joy in the simple pleasures of life. He loved going fishing, watching football, and above all, spending time with his two cherished dogs, Louie and Harlee.
He is survived by his partner, Kristen Koklis; his father, Pete McDowell; his mother, Kat (VanKirk) Jones, and stepfather, Randy Jones; and his maternal grandparents, Terry and Betty Mason. He is also survived by his siblings, Taylor McDowell, Dylan McDowell, and Madison McDowell; and his stepbrothers, Shawn Jones and Derek Jones and stepsister Ciara Suttles.
Brody was preceded in death by his grandparents, Norman and Marie McDowell, and Dick VanKirk.
His warmth, kindness, and strong spirit will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and the entire community he served. Condolences can be made at katrandyjones@yahoo.com. A celebration of life will take place at a later date.
