Stephen was born June 27, 1944 in Lincoln, Nebraska to Oral and Irene (Wagner) Fowler. The family later moved to Iowa City, where he graduated from City High in 1963. Stephen married his high school sweetheart, Mary Loria on October 15, 1966 at St. Patrick Catholic Church in Iowa City. The couple spent more than 53 memorable years together in Iowa City, raising their only son, Brian.
He was in the Army National Guard of Iowa and was honorably discharged in 1970. Stephen then worked at the Post Office for 40 years, working his way up to becoming the Postmaster in Hills. Nothing stopped Stephen from working, not even retirement. He began working part time for the City of Iowa City and NAPA.
Stephen loved computers and could build or fix any computer you gave him. He also liked to go fishing and was an avid Iowa Hawkeye fan. His sense of humor was one of the many things that will be missed by his family, friends and coworkers.
He is survived by his wife, Mary Fowler; his son Brian Stephen Fowler; his grandson, Brian Lee Fowler; two sisters, Bonnie (Max) Hanson and Johann Rigel; sister and brother in laws, Carmela (Bart) Schuchert, Joe Loria, and Louis (Carol) Loria, and many nieces and nephews. Stephen is also survived by his beloved pup, Killer.
He was preceded in death by his parents, his brother in law, Leonard, and sister in law, Mary Jo.
