FAYETTEVILLE - Life for John R. "Pops" Bowles Jr., 59, suddenly and tragically ended Thursday, Aug. 19, 2010. Through a saving faith and acceptance of his savior, Jesus Christ, his new life will begin again with son, Bryan Harrington Bowles. With pride and love, we will celebrate his life from 2:30 to 4 p.m. today, Saturday, Aug. 21, 2010, at Jernigan-Warren Funeral Home with his family. Immediately following the visitation, we will continue with services in the Jernigan-Warren Funeral Home chapel with the Rev. Woody Wells officiating. Burial will follow in Lafayette Memorial Park on Ramsey Street. Please join his mother, Aslee E. Odom; son, John Royce Bowles III; and grandson, Braydon Royce Bowles, to share the joys, laughter and many years of his memory. John always celebrated life to the fullest with his friends on the golf course; and his years of proudly coaching his extra kids in baseball, soccer and basketball, earned him the beloved name of "Coach." His gift of "gab" was always entertaining. His gift of friendship was shared by many. His gift of strength brought respect. His gift of devotion was shared with his mom. His gift of life was precious! Your kindness, prayers, hugs and friendship will give his family peace. Services by Jernigan-Warren Funeral Home of Fayetteville.
