Kristopher Chad Marlowe entered eternal rest on January 2, 2024.  A native of Jacksonville, Florida, he was the son of Mary and Ryan Fowler. After completing his education, Chad began working as a truck driver for the Anheuser-Busch Company and later became an expert in transportation and logistics.  He later assisted in the clean-ups after Hurricane Katrina in Lousiana and Hurricane Irma in Florida.  In 2017, he met and married his wife Kristin, and relocated to South Carolina. He loved the saltwater and everything Florida. Chad knew every plant and animal in Florida and caught nearly every critter imaginable  as a boy: spiders, snakes, racoons, alligators, you name it. In addition to catching critters, he had many pets like his snake, tarantula, iguana, bearded dragon, chicken, dogs and cats.  Chad loved to travel  and was our family's personal chef. He is famous for his breakfast of sausage biscuits and gravy.  He had the greenest thumb you've ever seen. He grew food, flowers, succulents, and cacti.   He was the Jacksonville Jaguars biggest fan since the creation of the team.  Most importantly, Chad treasured his family. His deepest desire was for his sons to make the most of life and do better than he could ever imagine.

In addition to his wife, Kristin Marlowe, his survivors include: three sons, Preston and Barrett Marlowe, both of Greer, SC and Kayden Marlowe of Pensacola, FL; his mother, Mary Fowler of Lake City, FL; father, Ryan Fowler of Lake City, FL; and brother, Devin Fowler of Jacksonville, FL. There will be a celebration of life held on January 27th, 2024 at City Church located at 1191 SW Bascom Norris Dr Lake City, FL 32025. The celebration begins at 2pm.
