Dozens of local people were saddened to hear the news that beloved author, actor, playwright, blogger, and storyteller Jerry Cowling passed away on December 26, 2020, after a brief hospital stay. The cause of death was sepsis as a result of a gastrointestinal infection. Cowling is survived by his son, Joshua of Spring Hill; his daughter, Heather Cowling Dobkowski; son-in-law Anthony and grandchildren Olivia and Liam Dobkowski of Wappingers Falls, New York. He was pre-deceased by his wife of 44 years, Janet.
Cowling was a true Renaissance man of many talents and interests. He was a native of Gainesville, Texas, but unlike the stereotypical Texan, never bragged. Jerry graduated from East Texas State University with a degree in journalism and English and spent ten years working for newspapers from Kingsport, Tennessee to Dallas, Killeen, and Temple, Texas.
