Don’t cry for me, I’m in the hands of the Lord, I’ve lived my life to the fullest, I’ve toiled and
labored in this world all my life I raised my children to be all they can be, and to pray to the
Lord and trust in him only. In this world which I’m no longer a part of I have seen both
good and bad but threw it all the Lord has always brought me through. His grace and his
mercy have been with me down thru the years for it was he who fearfully and wonderfully
made me. The Lord has walked even closer with me during these past few months and now
he has set my spirit free. I am leaving many memories for those I love. Its al-right, don’t cry
for me all is well with my soul for I have run the race that was set before me and I have
endured till the end. It’s alright.

February 24, 1963 – March 19, 2014
Anthony Fowler 51, of South Bend, Indiana received his wings on Wednesday, March 19, 2014. He
went home to be with the Lord at Memorial Hospital due to his chronic heart condition.
Anthony was born in Newark, New Jersey to the union of Javoyd and Lorene Fowler.
Anthony Fowler was affectionately known to some as “Yacine” he graduated from Barringer High
School in Newark, New Jersey. Anthony subsequently moved to South Bend, Indiana in 1982 and later
joined the U.S. Army in 1984-1986 and served in the National Reserves until 1988. Anthony went on to
attend college for aviation flight school in Buffalo, New York for a year in a half. In 1993, he went to
Tampa, Florida for premier modeling where he resided for two years.
Anthony moved back to South Bend, Indiana permanently in 1995 to raise his children. His expertise
was in sales and marketing, he worked for many years in the private sector but his passion was working for
non-for profit organizations. Anthony’s hobby was landscaping we called him “Edward Scissor Hands”.
Anthony gave his life to Christ at an early age; he loved and feared the Lord. Anthony was very outspoken
and the most confident, giving and encouraging person you ever wanted to meet his energy was
electrifying, he was very resourceful and full of life and love, with a smile so bright it lit up a room
(literally) and a golden laugh. He would always lift your spirits and give you a word of encouragement.
Anthony fought a courageous fight without ever losing faith and always keeping god first and giving him
the praise. Every day was truly a new day in Anthony’s life and the sky was the limit.
Preceding in death were his father, Javoyd Fowler Sr, brothers Javoyd Fowler Jr., Lige Fowler, and
Keith Fowler, Donald Baylor and sister Hazel Baylor.
