Dwight E. Fowler (“Flash”), 87, of Whiting, passed away on Saturday, July 5, 2025. Born in Coffeyville, Kansas, Dwight brought warmth and kindness everywhere he lived, from Milltown, NJ to Asheville, NC, before settling in Whiting 15 years ago.
Dwight served his country with pride in the U.S. Coast Guard. He later enjoyed a fulfilling career as a boiler operator for Bristol Myers Squibb in Lawrenceville, where he worked for many years until his retirement.
A man of many passions, Dwight was an avid bowler, a lover of classic cars, and cherished time spent playing horseshoes and eating ice cream.
Predeceased by his parents, George & Bethel Fowler and brother, Bill Fowler, Dwight leaves behind a loving family: his devoted wife of 42 years, Susan; his son Michael Fowler of Neptune; his daughter Kathleen Fowler of Toms River; and his stepchildren, Christopher Nieroda and his wife Donna of Allentown, and Ann-Marie Perrine and her husband Bernie of Port Charlotte, FL. He was adored by his five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
Interment will take place 11am Thursday, July 10, 2025, at Franklin Memorial Park, North Brunswick.
