Roy Fowler

Roy Frank Fowler, affectionately known as "Rooster," age 85, of Lookout Mountain, GA, passed away peacefully on May 13, 2025.

A mechanic by trade, Roy had a remarkable talent for fixing just about anything. He earned the nickname "Rooster" from his lifelong love of chickens—a passion that reflected his spirited nature and grit.

Roy was known for giving others a hard time and could be ornery and stubborn, but beneath that tough exterior was a man deeply loved by his family. He especially adored his grandchildren, and they held a special place in his heart.

In the end, Roy made things right with God and found peace.

He is survived by his children, Hila Holcomb, Vikki Thompson, and Michael Croucher; sister, Ann Carden; grandchildren, Tony Croucher, Dana Watts, D.J. Pace, Dustin Pace, Dillon Pace, Donovan Long, Dalton Long, Aaron Sims, Chris Wills, and Michelle McKenzie; 16 great-grandchildren; 3 great-great-grandchildren; special friends Michael Christensen and Debra White; and several nieces and nephews.

Roy was preceded in death by his wife, Frances A. Fowler; parents, Debbs and Ruth Fowler; brother, Don Fowler; niece, Donna Beck; and nephew, Sammy Fowler.

A graveside service will be held at 11:00 AM on Saturday, May 17th at Mount Olive Cemetery in Lookout Mountain, GA with Pastor Eric Youngblood officiating.

The family would like to express their heartfelt thanks to the nurses and staff of the 6th floor at Memorial Hospital for their exceptional care and patience during Roy’s stay. We are also deeply grateful to Hearth Hospice—especially Anthony, Liz, and Roxanne—for their compassionate support and kindness throughout his final days.

Roy “Rooster” Fowler was one of a kind—a man full of grit, character, and heart. He will be missed, remembered, and forever loved.
