On Wednesday, May 20th, 2020, Joseph Kent Fowler, loving father, grandfather and friend passed way at the age of 75. Joseph was born on November 4, 1944 in New York City. He was the son of Joseph Fowler and Francisca Wall Fowler. He graduated high school from Bronxville, NY in 1963 and went directly into the US Air Force as an Airman First Class. After serving, Joseph was honorably discharged in 1967 and moved to Denver, CO. There he subsequently earned a B.A. degree with emphasis in Pre-Law and Political Science from the University of Denver, and went on to become a Paralegal. Joseph worked as a stock broker, international trade consultant, and investor. In 1975, he purchased property in Mesa, Colorado to begin a new “hobby” in ranching and raising cattle. After 1994, he left Denver and the city life behind, and became a permanent, self-taught rancher. Joseph called the Mesa ranch home until his death. He will be remembered as a hardworking, generous man, who took pride in everything he did. He was witty, humorous, and incredibly intelligent. Joseph was preceded in death by his mother and father. He is survived by his older brother Michael Fowler (Maryann) of Farmington, CT; his four children Denise Crawford (Kevin) of Denver, CO, Steven Fowler of Albion, CA, Kahli Leitner (Thomas) of Collbran, CO, and Kade Bourgeois (Valerie) of Mesa, CO; 7 grandchildren, and 2 great-grandsons. Joseph is also survived by his three former wives, Elena, Jeanette, and Melanie with whom he remained friendly. Melanie served as a caregiver for him during the last three years of his life, and is the primary reason he was able to continue living on his ranch. A celebration of life will be held on August 1st at Joseph’s ranch in Mesa, CO at 12pm. All are welcome to attend. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation at bbrfoundation.donordrive.com/campaign/JosephKentFowler
