As a self-employed farmer, J C took great pride in his work, embodying the virtues of dedication and hard labor. He was a man who loved the land and the simplicity of rural life, often enjoying rides through the countryside. His strong faith was the cornerstone of his existence; he was a man after God's own heart. When his health permitted J C was an active member of Friendship Baptist Church in Tifton, fostering spiritual growth within the community he cherished.

J C’s love for his family was monumental. He was married to his beloved wife, Myrtice Boney Fowler, for sixty-five beautiful years. Together, they nurtured a loving home filled with warmth and laughter. He is survived by his children, Michael Landy Fowler and Kimberly and Matthew Melvin Fowler and Terri. His legacy continues through his grandchildren, including Frankie Fowler, Jr., Frankeshia Fowler, Michael Fowler, II & Samaria, Gwendolyn Fowler, Hollis Fowler, Tameka Nicole Fowler, Jazmine Fowler, Akevius Fowler and Shaneka, Matthew Fowler, II and Laronda, Natalie Fowler, JaKari Thomas, Ashlyn Fowler, and Madison Fowler. He also leaves behind sixteen great-grandchildren and his sister, Betty Fowler Lewis.

He was preceded in death by his father, Rufus Fowler; his mother, Johnny Anderson Fowler; and two beloved children, Frankie Fowler and Linda Fay Fowler, along with his siblings: Willie James Fowler, Rufus Fowler, Jr., Lilly Bell Peavy, and Sara Lee Fowler, as well as his cherished grandson, Antonio Fowler.
