Michael Mowrer Obituary

Michael Emerson Mowrer MT. PLEASANT - Michael Emerson Mowrer, 65, of Mt. Pleasant, SC, passed away on May 28, 2021. He was the son of the late Beatrice Guyton and Melvin H. Mowrer, Sr. and was born in Lancaster, PA. Mike is survived by his brother, Melvin H. Mowrer, Jr. (Wendy). Although Mike never had children, he was loved and cherished by his brother's children - Melissa Dabbs (Brett), Michael D. Mowrer (Krista) and Melanie Rauch (Kevin). He was a great uncle to 9 nieces and nephews. He also had 2 great-great-nephews and a great-great-niece. He is also survived by his aunts Becky Vann and Sybil Houston, as well as four first cousins whom he dearly loved; Jenny Crouse (Mike), Mark Vann, Matthew Vann (Janet), and Ross Houston (Kim). There are many other cousins, stepfamily and friends who loved him. Mike loved and was talented in sports, playing football, softball and racquetball and was a runner. In his earlier years he was nicknamed 'the Bruiser'. He later played in the Mt. Pleasant softball league. He was an avid Philadelphia Phillies and Eagles fan and often called in to the local sports show to discuss them. The 2018 Super Bowl was, of course, a big deal to him. For the past few decades he took great care of his mother, until her death last August. If you ever met Mike, you saw his humor and kind spirit. He is greatly missed. A memorial will be held virtually via Zoom videoconferencing on Saturday, June 12, at 3 pm. Zoom link information is available at www.Lowcountryfuneral.com.

I knew Michael when I lived in Charleston. He was one of my very best friends. I had been searching for him for years. He was the kindest gentlest man who treated everyone with respect and was devoted to God. I loved him with all my heart. He was a blessing to everyone who knew him.

Mike and my dad played softball together and were good friends. I have fond memories of Mike sharing holidays with my family when I was growing up. He was almost like an uncle to my sisters and I. Such a kind, gentle spirit. My condolences to his family. You are all in my prayers.

My condolences to Mikes close family and friends, such a kind and caring guy. My fondest memories of Mike was his smile, sense of humor and gentle way about him. I thought he was so cool driving his Saab. Love and prayers for comfort during this time
