Your smile is one that can light up a room. You will truly be missed and although it is difficult to imagine not ever being able to see that smile, or hear a good word of encouragement from you, we will carry you in our hearts and minds from now until forever. Rest easy Stowe. We all love and miss you!
Michelle Johnson left a message on October 27, 2016:
Words cannot express the void I'm currently feeling. You were an amazing man of God. I'm so so thankful for our friendship. You always had a big smile and kind words of encouragement. The love you had for your family and friends was undeniable. You had so much more you wanted to do, but looking back over all you've accomplished....job well done Stowe. Rest easy. My heart and prayers go out to your family and friends. We know you're smiling down on all of us. See you when I get there...
Kathryn McDowell left a message on October 27, 2016:
Words cannot adequately express the depth of sorrow regarding the sudden and unexpected loss of our dear pastor, Rev. James H. Stowe, Jr. He had that million dollar smile along with his warm and gentle nature. He was our "Good Shepherd" and he took great care of his sheep. He will be sorely missed. Continued prayers of support go out to his family. Kathryn McDowell Brown Chapel AMEC

My heart is heavy even as I write this sentiment, I cannot believe that you are gone so soon. Nevertheless, God always knows best. James aka Stowe was a true light on earth, his infectious personality and amazing smile will always go done in history as one of the greatest! My prayers for comfort, strength, and peace for the family go up and I know I will see you again. Rest well my dear brother. Jennifer Murphy (Miss KSU 1998)

Reverend LaVeeshia Pryor left a message on October 26, 2016:
Rev. James Stowe Jr., made himself available to do the will of God. His first assignment was to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ, and to lead the flock of God no matter how big or small the congregation--he accomplished both task. The Bible declares: "...how beautiful are the feet of those that bring good news!" Rev. James Stowe, Jr. brought the good news, and souls were saved, lives were changed, people uplifted and encouraged. The pastor, Reverend LaVeeshia Pryor, and members of Saint Paul African Methodist Episcopal Church in Richmond, KY give our heartfelt condolences to this family during this most difficult time. Rev. James Stowe Jr., will be missed greatly, and we are praying that God's loving arms would surround you and lift you up during your season of loss. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.
Hazrdos 96' left a message on October 26, 2016:
"To be an Alpha Man means more than just to wear a pin. It requires intrinsic qualities that are developed deep within, it calls for lasting brotherhood, a word sometimes used in vein. It means an honest devotion, not anticipation of person gain. Fraternity speaks of brotherly love, that's something to achieve, it's more than just a grip of hands, its an ideal to conceive. You're proud to be an Alpha, and share her praises won, before you inflate yourself with pride, ask yourself honestly, how much have I done? ..."(Br. Fred Woodruff) Bro. Stowe's life is a testament to the devotion and service of others. May his example and spirit inspire us all. -Hazrdos (Spring 96')

There was never a time that I saw James that he didn't have a smile and a kind word. He was in a word "light". The world seems a little dimmer now that he's gone. I pray that his family and friends are comforted in knowing that he is now with our Savior. To Melanie and husband and Reverend Stowe, Sr., Dr. Mary his children and wife, you will always be in my thoughts a prayers. KSU4LIFE....
Toy Pitts left a message on October 25, 2016:
It's still very hard to fully accept that such a loving person has left our presence. To know Stowe was to love Stowe. A true man of integrity...a classic gentleman. My prayers are with his family and the entire KSU family who shared great times with him on the yard. His much too soon departure from Earth must've meant that he completed his assignment on this side of glory...perhaps that's why he was such a phenomenal person. God needed him to do a quick work. May all who mourn be comforted by fond memories and the eternal promise that to be absent in the body is to be present with the Lord. -LaToya Pitts

I'm in complete shock. Gone way too soon. You were a genuine, cool, smart, inspirational and spiritual man. We met in the mid 90s and kept in touch throughout the years. From our awkward and thinking we knew everything days at Fountain Square to you giving me advice in my marriage to date. You will be missed. May God bring comfort to your family

To Stowe's beloved family and all persons affected by this precious loss. My heart is filled with deep sorrow over the loss of my former Payne classmate. Such a sweet spirit and respectful young man with a smile worth more than anyone can count. Art and I extend our deepest condolences to his family and friends. God's name be praised for the wonderful memories he leaves behind. We loved him, but God loves him more. So we pray God's choice blessings of comfort, strength and peace to his lovely bride and family who mourn his passing. Earth has no sorrow, that heaven cannot heal. Much love from Mr. Arthur L. Johnson (Mr. Art) and Rev. Evelyn M. Johnson (EJ) -Payne Theological Seminary

There is so much that I can say about you my brother. One of the most dynamic things I've respected about you James was the fact that you was a father for your children. I grew up not really having a relationship with my parents. Seeing you be a great father to your children lifted my spirits. Seeing that love that you displayed for your children is one of the reasons why I want to be a father today. You are without a doubt one of a kind Rev. James Stowe. You touched the lives of individuals in more ways than you realize. G-D Bless you my brother. I'll see you again one day. To the family and friends of Rev. James Stowe my deepest condolences
