Stacey B. Fowler

Stacey Bernard Fowler, a beloved resident of Newark, New Jersey, Passed away on December 28, 2024, at Newark University Hospital. Born on May 31, 1968, in Neptune, New Jersey, Stacey was the cherished son of Mildred Pobee-Orleans and James Earl Hall. He is survived by his devoted wife, Gladys Fowler, and his loving sister Sharon Fowler-Thompson. Stacey was a dedicated and hard-working individual, employed at Lowy’s Moving Services for years and worked in construction. He was always willing to take on any odd job and was known for tireless work ethic. Stacey attended the school systems of Neptune and Asbury Park until 1986.

As a young man, Stacey developed a deep love for karate, often practicing moves that left a lasting impression on his friends and family. Known for wearing his black karate shoes, running up trees, or leaping from the roof of his childhood home on Bond Street in Asbury Park into perfect Ninja stance, Stacey’s enthusiasm for martial arts became a defining part of his life, as he enjoyed watching old karate movies until the very end.

Family was the cornerstone of Stacey’s life. He was a Beloved uncle to his nieces Delmeisha Fowler and Christina and nephew-in-law John Wilmott. He was also a doting great uncle to Javon Wilmott, Jaden Wilmott, Jiyaha Wilmott, and Jumyra Wilmott. Stacey relished playing Monopoly with his great-nieces and nephews, often emphasizing how it would help them improve their counting and reading skills. He took great pride in making breakfast for the children each morning before they left for school.

Stacey’s love for food and his infectious excitement for snow were well-known. He would often express his anticipation for the first snowfall, saying “I can’t wait until it snows.” His warmth, generosity, and unwavering willingness to lend a helping hand will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Stacey leaves behind a host of family and friends who will forever cherish his memory. He was a remarkable man whose presence will be profoundly missed, but his legacy will live on in the hearts of all who loved him.

Rest in peace, Stacey. We will carry you in our hearts forever.
