Aaron Kenneth Fowler Sr.February 13, 1934 – October 29, 2025


Aaron Kenneth Fowler, 91, of Midland, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, October 29, 2025, at Levine & Dickson Hospice House in Huntersville.

Aaron was born February 13, 1934, in Union County to the late Neal Fowler and Emma Broome Fowler. He was also preceded in death by his beloved wife, Flora Marie Fowler; son, Aaron “Kenny” Fowler Jr.; and daughter, Machelle Fowler Smith.

Aaron was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, friend, and so much more. He worked at Charlotte Aircraft Corporation and, after his retirement, with the Cabarrus County School System. He enjoyed many things throughout his life, with family and fishing being among his greatest joys. He loved playing the guitar, tending to his garden, and spending time with those he loved most.

He is survived by his son-in-law, Steve Smith; his cherished granddaughters, Kymberly (Ben Petrea), Emily Smith, and Haley (Luke Ward); and his adored great-grandchildren, Waylon, Harper, and Sawyer. Each of them cared for and loved Aaron deeply. 

In his final days, Kymberly, along with the help of Ben and his mother Maggie Petrea lovingly cared for him in her home to keep him comfortable before he entered hospice care, where he passed peacefully. His presence will be profoundly missed by all who knew and loved him.

The family will receive friends from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Monday, November 3, 2025, at Hartsell Funeral Home of Midland. The funeral service will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday at Hartsell Funeral Home’s Jack Hartsell Memorial Chapel in Midland, officiated by Pastor Rob Mariucci. Burial will follow at Sunset Memory Gardens, 8901 Lawyers Rd., Mint Hill.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Via Health Partners (formerly Hospice & Palliative Care Charlotte Region), 705 Griffith Street, Suite 203, Davidson, NC.
