Bobby Joe passed away on Sunday, December 24, 2023 at Russell Medical Center. He was born on August 14, 1942 in Alexander City, Alabama to Hunter Markin Jowers and Pearlie O'Dell Strickland Jowers. On March 18, 1960, he married the love of his life, Wilda Faye, and began building their future together.
Bobby Joe was known for his caring heart and the way he put others before himself. He would never fail to send you off with a gentle, "Be careful!" In his spare time, he loved watching Barrett Jackson Auction and going to yard sales to collect various antiques-glassware, kerosene lamps, and pencil sharpeners. Bobby Joe enjoyed working on old trucks with his son, Shane, right beside him. He absolutely loved kids, especially his grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews who affectionately knew him as "Paw Paw" and "Joe Joe."
Bobby Joe is survived by his wife, Wilda Faye Jowers; daughter, Pamela (Larry) Keel; son, Shane Markin Jowers; grandchildren, Justin (Kelly) Keel, Lathan (Stephanie) Keel, Mallory (J.D Waters) Jowers, Railey Jowers; great-grandchildren, Brogan Waters, Weston Waters, William Keel, Bryson Duke, Junior Duke; and a host of special nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Hunter and Pearlie Jowers; sister, Mary L.E. Colley; brother, James Leonard Jowers; brother-in-law, Huel Colley; daughter-in-law, Pam Jowers; and niece, Patti Kennedy.
Radney Funeral Home is honored to serve the Jowers family.
