Orley Mark Fowler of Moncton passed away peacefully on June 14, 2026 at Pavillon Landry, Moncton. Born in Saint John, New Brunswick, he was the son of the late Orley and Iris (Hicks) Fowler.
Always a gentleman, Mark was a devoted son; a loving husband, father, and brother; a loyal friend; and a doting and teasing "Pa" to his six beautiful grandchildren who brought him so much joy.
Some of his happiest times were spent with family and friends at the family cottage at Long Reach on the Saint John River. Mark was an avid reader, especially of British history and the two World Wars. He enjoyed all kinds of music (especially the music played by his talented sons!) and traveling with friends and family.
In his school years, Mark played rugby and basketball and participated in track and field. In his later years, he enjoyed golf and curling. When his boys were young, he was a Cub Scout leader and baseball coach. He was a charter member of the Riverview Gyro International and Moncton Probus clubs.
He will be dearly missed by his wife Jocelyn Fowler; sons Gregory Fowler, Richard Fowler, and Jason (Nancy) Fowler; sister Elaine Casey (Joe Brown); grandchildren Nicholas Fowler, Emily Fowler, Laura (Dawson) Boon, Katherine Fowler, Richie Fowler, and Elizabeth Fowler; as well as several nieces and nephews.
Respecting Mark’s wishes, cremation has taken place at Cobb’s Funeral Home and Cremation Centre, 330 Whitepine Road, Riverview (506-869-2007). A Celebration of Life will take place Saturday, July 11th, 2026 at Cobb’s Funeral Home from 1pm-3pm. Donations to Friends of The Moncton Hospital Foundation or St. Paul’s United Church would be appreciated by his family.
