John Knight Sowle passed away on January 9, 2025. He was 92. He was born March 1, 1932 in Jonesboro, Arkansas. He was preceded in death by his wife of 72 years, Frances Ann Sowle; his father, Clyde Sowle; his mother, Katherine Knight Sowle and his brother, Gordon Sowle.

He is survived by his son, Steve Sowle (Gloria) of Benton, Arkansas; daughter, Julie Jenkins (Steve) of Sherwood, Arkansas; five grandchildren and eleven great- grandchildren.

John was a graduate of the University of Arkansas and received his master's degree in engineering from The University of Oklahoma. John was a veteran of the U.S. Air Force and later worked for the U.S. Postal Service for over thirty years.

John was an avid fisherman, he loved trains, gadgets and piddling in his shop.
He enjoyed camping on Lake DeGray with his father-in-law, his son and his grandson. John was a man of responsibility and he carried out that responsibility through service to his country, his community and his church.

Most importantly, John was a Christian and he lived his live in a manner that honored God. We are confident that he is now reunited with his beloved wife and has been received into Heaven with that phrase we all long to hear...
"Welcome, good and faithful servant."
