Scott E. Fowler, known affectionately as Scott by his friends and family, passed away peacefully on October 19, 2024, in Wells, Texas. Born in Glendale, California, on August 16, 1948, Scott's journey through life was marked by an unwavering spirit of friendliness, courage, and thoughtfulness that touched everyone he met.
Scott's formative years in Glendale were the foundation of lifelong friendships and the beginning of a story that would be filled with love, adventure, and service. After graduating from high school, he answered the call to serve his country and joined the Army, where he dedicated himself to a distinguished career, retiring as a Sergeant First Class. His military service was a significant chapter of his life, shaping him into the disciplined yet compassionate person many came to admire.
In the heart of his beloved home state, Scott found love with Cathy Sue Fowler, and together they embarked on a remarkable journey of 55 years of marriage. Their unwavering bond was a testament to their shared values and commitment to family. Scott's legacy includes his twin brother, Dirk, and his wife, Kathy Fowler, who stood by him through thick and thin. His two sons, Dieter, married to Nelda Fowler, and Derrick, married to Kristy Fowler, will carry forward the lessons of integrity and perseverance their father instilled in them.
Scott's joy multiplied with the arrival of each grandchild: Preston and his wife Hannah Fowler, Paige, Keila, Haley, and Dieter Fowler. Each of them brought a unique light to his life, and he cherished every moment spent with them. The family circle expanded with the birth of his great-granddaughter, Lyla Fowler, who added a new layer of happiness to his later years.
His family extended beyond blood relations, as Scott will also be dearly missed by his brother-in-law, two sisters-in-law, and the many nieces and nephews who looked up to him as a role model and confidant. His passing leaves a void in the family tapestry, but his influence will continue to be felt in the stories shared and the memories cherished.
Beyond his family and military service, Scott had a passion for the simple pleasures in life. He loved playing golf, engaging in friendly competition at cornhole, and relaxing while watching old westerns. These interests brought him joy and relaxation, and they often served as a backdrop for the precious moments spent with friends and loved ones.
Friends and acquaintances often described Scott as the embodiment of friendliness. His courageous nature was evident not only in his military service but also in his daily life, as he faced challenges with a positive attitude and unwavering resolve. Scott's thoughtful demeanor ensured that those around him felt heard, respected, and valued.
Scott's journey through life was one defined by the connections he made and the lives he touched. His absence will be profoundly felt, but the memories of his warmth, bravery, and kindness will continue to inspire and comfort all who were fortunate enough to know him.
As we say goodbye to Scott E. Fowler, we celebrate a life lived with honor, a heart given freely to family and friends, and a spirit that will forever shine brightly in the lives of those he leaves behind. He will be deeply missed, but the legacy of his character and love will endure through generations.
