"Brian was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer in 2018. It spread to his liver, stomach, lungs, lymph nodes, and brain. We were devastated by the news but Brian was the strongest, most resilient man, and in 2018 when they told him he only had 2 years left, he said “I’m beating that.” And he did. He never gave up the will to live. He lived with cancer for 5 years until he succumbed to the injuries he sustained from a tragic car accident on Saturday," the GoFundMe states.

Fowler is survived by his family including his children and grandkids. CLICK HERE to donate to GoFundMe.
