Michael Stowe Obituary

KNOXVILLE - Michael E. Stowe, 48, rural Knoxville, died at 1:36 a.m. Saturday, July 13, 2019, at home.

He was born Aug. 15, 1970, in Spring Valley, to William Edwin and Mary Frances (Real) Stowe. He attended ROWVA High School and graduated with the class of 1989. He was married to Tanya Howard on Dec. 10, 2013, in Las Vegas.

Surviving is his loving wife, Tanya Stowe of rural Knoxville; his children, Devin M. (and Jillian) Stowe of Maquon and Elizabeth M. Stowe, Abby D. Stowe and Carli M. Stowe, and their mother, Melissa Hazen, all of Altona; one grandson, Rhett W. Stowe of Maquon; his mother, Mary F. Stowe of Altona; and his siblings, Brent Stowe of Maquon and Kathy (and Joe) Johnson of Dahinda.

He was preceded in death by his father.

Michael was a dedicated employee of BNSF, working as a carman for over 20 years. He also farmed in the Gilson area for most of his life. He enjoyed many hobbies, especially those that allowed him to spend time in the great outdoors. In his free time, he could frequently be found hunting, fishing, playing cards and tending to his cattle. Most of all, Michael was a loving son, husband, father, brother, uncle and grandfather. He will be greatly missed.

Cremation rites will be accorded. A celebration of life will be noon to 5 p.m. Saturday, July 27, 2019, at the Knoxville American Legion. Memorial contributions may be made to the family for his children's and grandchildren's education or to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
