Roy Kenston Fowler Jr. of South Park, formerly of Pleasant Hills, passed away at home on July 21, 2020, at the age of 80, after a long and hard-fought battle with kidney disease.

He was the son of the late Roy K. and Elizabeth (Euler) Fowler.

Roy and his wife, Theresa, married at age 19 and enjoyed 61 wonderful years of marriage together. They loved the time that they spent in Deep Creek, Md., and Lake Placid, Fla.

His family meant everything to him. He was a behind-the-scenes cheerleader for them in all of their endeavors. He was recently most at peace sitting on his backyard swing and watching the variety of wildlife there.

He leaves behind to cherish his memory his wife, Theresa; his children, Pam (Dennis) Drouilland of Washington, Pa., Kathy (AJ) Scarpaci of Bethel Park, and Roy (Janell) Fowler III of Maine.
