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!
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...
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.

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)

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.
"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....
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.

Your kindness. I will never forget your kindness. You always had a kind word, a kind smile, a kind heart. I know you're sharing that to others even now in the afterlife. I thank you for the kindness you showed when you were here with us. Thorobreds forever!
There are so many words that I want to say to you right now my brother. I never got the chance to say goodbye when I left for Atlanta in 2010. You really do not know how much you blessed me brother. I will see you again one day. Until then rest well
Being AME, a preacher's kid and a YPDer are just a few of the things we had in common. Besides those things I will always remember you as being cool, respectful and just an all around good man. You will be missed! ~ Marcia Fugh Joseph
My family submits our deepest condolences to your family. I still can't fanthom that your not here but I put my hope and trust in God. We send our condolences to your girls and ask God to help them know He is always there with them as they seek to understand your absence.
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

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
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
