William "Frank" Fowler, Sr.

Scott - A Funeral Service will be held on Saturday, February 17, 2024, at 11:00 am at Crossroads Church in Lafayette for William “Frank” Fowler, Sr., age 71, who passed away peacefully at his residence on Monday, February 5, 2024, in Scott. Pastor Jeff Ables will officiate the service. William “Frank” Fowler, Sr. was born on April 12, 1952, in Winnfield and he was a longtime resident of Scott. Frank had many titles in his life, but most notably Pawpaw, Uncle Frank, and Bro Frank. He spent a large portion of his adult life in ministry, particularly with Young Adults and Children’s Ministry. Frank and his wife, Brenda helped shaped the lives of many youths, not only in Lafayette, but also across the states of Louisiana and Mississippi. Frank participated in numerous mission trips into Mexico and Jamaica spreading the love of Jesus Christ through children’s outreaches and puppet ministry. After retirement, Frank’s mission shifted to full-time loving on his children, grandchildren, as well as his many nieces and nephews. There is no doubt he loved his family and spending as much time as he could with his brother and sisters, as well as brothers and sisters-in-law. But his true babies were Itsy and Lucy, his beloved chihuahuas. Frank’s hobbies included hunting, fishing, and sitting in his recliner teaching Itsy and Lucy the ins-and-outs of the Price is Right. He was a big guy with an even bigger heart that never met a stranger, striking up conversation with any one that would listen. Frank will be greatly missed. Frank is survived by his loving wife of 49 years; Brenda Fowler; his two children, William Frank Fowler, Jr. (Myriam) and Adam Fowler (Marysol); his six grandchildren, Kristina Fowler, Justin Fowler, Samuel Fowler, Devon Fowler, Ali Fowler, and Adam Fowler, Jr.; his siblings, Sherry Duffy, Lee Sepulvado (Victor), and Tony Fowler (Lisa); his great-grandpuppy, Adelina; along with a host of nieces, nephews, and dear friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, Buford and Nell Fowler; his paternal grandparents, Frank and Hester Fowler; as well as his maternal grandparents, Chester W. and Velma L. Bossier. The family wishes to offer a heartfelt thank you to the amazing staff at St. Joseph Hospice, the Oncology Department at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, and Frank’s longtime physicians, Dr. Troy Martin and Dr. Jeffrey Thibodeaux at Southern for the care and compassion they offered Frank and his family during his time of need; as well as for the special love and medical support provided by two of his nieces, Paige Bello and Mindy Braquet. Cypress Funeral Home & Crematory, 206 W. Lafayette St., Maurice, LA 70555, (337) 740-3123, is in charge of arrangements.
