Jerry Thomas Fowler of Ellicott City, MD passed away peacefully on the morning of July 12th, 2025. Born in Baltimore, MD on February 1, 1941 to the late Leroy and Josephine Fowler.

Jerry was a devoted and loving husband to his late wife, Gloria Fowler. Married 57 years, their enduring bond was a testament to their love and commitment. Serving as an inspiration to all who knew them. Together, they built a loving family, raising six children. Jerri Lynn Seward, Kimberly Wisnowski (Stanley Wisnowski), Cathy Hastings (Eric Hastings), Valerie Ryan (Darrell Ryan), Eric Fowler (Donna Fowler), and Erin Cucina (Vince Cucina). Affectionately known as Pop Pop to his many grandchildren and great grandchildren. Jerry was also a loving brother to his two surviving sisters, Rhonda Biemiller and JoAnn Schreiber.

Throughout his life, Jerry was an avid sports enthusiast. Playing a round of golf with his best friend Frank Waters. Enjoying an Orioles game with his beloved wife Gloria. Or coaching little league baseball and basketball for over 20 years with his children and grandchildren.

In his latter years, Jerry became a devoted and faithful member of Emory United Methodist Church. Enjoying bible study and Sunday services. He also had a great love of all things italian and was able to fulfill his lifelong dream of vacationing in Italy in 2018.

Jerry will be remembered for his kindness, sense of humor, and love for his family and friends. He had a truly unique way to find the funny in the mundane. His jokes and one-liners will bring smiles and laughter to those who knew him for years to come. With a legacy of joy, love, and laughter, he will be profoundly missed. But the memory of his life, to those who loved him, will be everlasting.

Services will be private with family only.
