On November 21, 1953, Joe was born to loving parents, L.C. and Walter Jean Fowler, in Kirbyville, Texas. Joe graduated from Kirbyville High School in 1973.  After graduating, he moved to Flint, Michigan where he lived with his Uncle Henry Cheatham, lovingly known as "Uncle Boo".

He returned home and married Kaye Fowler in 1978.  Joe and Kaye received the great honor of becoming parents to Kimberly and Joseph in 1980 and 1989. Joe later received an even greater honor of becoming a doting grandpa to his grandchildren Alexis, Kaden, and Joshua.

Joe was a hardworking and dedicated man. He worked for various railroad companies before retiring as a engineer and conductor at Econo Rail where he made many lifelong friends. Joe's favorite pastime was playing basketball and racing cars.  Throughout his life, he continued to buy and collect race cars.

Joe's love for the Lord directed him to complete his pastoral studies at the College of Biblical Studies. He later earned his ministry license at Hilliard Vocational Bible Institute.  In 2005, Joe delivered his first sermon in front of family and friends in Merryville, Louisiana.

Joe relished in spending time and traveling the world with family, most notably, his three grandchildren in Atlanta, Georgia.

Joe is preceded in death by his beloved parents, L.C. and Walter Jean Fowler, dear sister June Jackson, and adored son Joseph Fowler II.

Those left behind to cherish Joe's memory are his daughter Kimberly Bandoh (Alex); siblings Mary Sapp (Herbert), Martha Fowler, Gay Nail Lyles (Eddie), and Omaster Fowler (Faye); three grandchildren Alexis, Kaden and Joshua; many uncles (Uncle John, Uncle Harvey, Uncle Henry, and Uncle Charles) an aunt (Aunt Penny), and a multitude of cousins, nephews, nieces and friends.
