Ricky Lee

Fowler

Ricky Lee Fowler, 67, of Sawmills, North Carolina, passed away at his home on November 11, 2026 and entered his eternal home in Heaven.

Born on March 8, 1959, in Welch, West Virginia, Ricky was a hardworking man who dedicated his life to providing for his family. He was someone you could always count on and could fix just about anything. He took pride in working with his hands and was always willing to help others.

Ricky enjoyed fishing, spending time outdoors, mowing his grass, cheering on the Dallas Cowboys and Dale Earnhardt Sr. While he appreciated life's simple pleasures, nothing meant more to him than his family.

Ricky shared 47 years of marriage with his loving wife, Dorothy Fowler. In addition to his wife, he is survived by his daughters, Misty Wilson and her husband, Nicholas, and Joy Fowler and Darone; his three grandsons, Andru Wilson, Cooper Wilson, and Parker Fowler; and his beloved sister, Donna Jean Lewis, whom he loved dearly. He also leaves behind numerous nieces and nephews, extended family members, and friends.

His three grandsons held an especially important place in his heart. Andru, Cooper, and Parker were his pride and joy, and watching them grow into the young men they are today was one of his greatest blessings. Each shared a special bond with their Pawpaw, and the memories they made together will be treasured forever.

Ricky will be remembered for his strong work ethic, his ability to fix just about anything, and, most importantly, his love for his family. Although he will be deeply missed, his greatest legacy lives on through the family he loved so much.
