Jonathan Fowler

Jonathan Fowler (“Skip”), formerly of Contoocook, NH, passed away unexpectedly on September 7th, 2013, and went to be with His Lord whom he loved. He was 59 years old. He was the son of the late Wesley and Margaret Fowler. He is survived by his loving and devoted wife of 34 years, Renee Fowler of Contoocook, NH. He is also survived by his children, Jared & Alesia (Fowler) Beecher of Nanticoke, NY; granddaughter Marissa Beecher of Nanticoke, NY; Tim and Theresa Fowler of Monroe, VA; Kevin Fowler of Arlington VA; and Jeremy Fowler of Contoocook, NH and Lynchburg, VA. Skip is survived by his sisters and brother in-laws, David & Carolyn (Fowler) Holland of Crownsville MD; and Ken & Judy (Fowler) Proulx, of Carlisle, MA. He also has several aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends who will miss him greatly. Skip was born on June 2nd, 1954 in Brockton, MA. He grew up in Holbrook and completed his schooling there. As a computer field engineer for over 30 years for Unisys, Siemens, ATOS, and currently Fujitsu, he was widely known for his expertise and excellent customer service. As a young teenager he attended a Billy Graham Crusade where he heard about his need for a Savior from his sin. He responded when he recognized his need for a Savior, by going forward that evening. Skip asked Jesus into his heart, and was saved. He was an active member at Trinity Baptist Church in Concord, NH. On many Sunday mornings he was the kind, smiling face that would greet people at the door. He was a devoted and loving husband, father, and grandfather. Throughout his life he enjoyed traveling, camping, taking drives, hiking in the mountains, going to the ocean and spending any time he could with his family. Skip’s character was that of a man of humility who loved God, his family and other people. He would put the needs of others before himself, and always did so with a cheerful demeanor. He was a hard worker with any task at hand, and made new friends wherever he went. His smile was memorable and could cheer up anyone on the worst of days. Skip was a man who was willing to sacrifice his time, energy and desires to help those around him in any way he could. Above all else, his love for Christ clearly shined throughout his life, and now he is in the presence of the one he loved. Although our hearts are heavy with sadness, we rejoice knowing that he is with the Lord and one day we will be reunited again.
