Surviving, in addition to his wife, are a daughter, Joyce Fowler; two brothers, Doc Fowler and Danny Fowler; five sisters, Janet Suggs, Sybil Vaughn, Joann Richards, Ellen Howard, and Martha Wofford; and his beloved cats, Lucy and Ethel. He was predeceased by three brothers, R.C. "Junior" Fowler, George Fowler, and Allen Fowler; and a sister, Donna Dye.

Joe Fowler was such a good man. He took care of his family, friends...anyone with a need. He helped me many times when I would call Joyce with an idea of something I wanted him to help us create. As I walk down the halls of my school, I see Joe Fowler's work and it makes me smile. Thank you Joe for a life well lived. Joyce and Elaine you are in my prayers. Love Dawn
