David Prowell

REFLECTIONS OF A LIFE On January 25th, 1928, a baby boy was born to James Prowell and Corine Jackson in Birmingham Alabama. He was the second youngest of seven children; they named him David Prowell. At a later age he showed responsibility for his family; he answered the call of service and volunteered for the Navy in 1946. During his career, he fought to preserve and protect our way of life by serving in the Korean War from 1950 – 1953; he continued to serve devotedly until 1965, to which he was honorably discharged and retired with honors. In 1965, he continued his service for his country by working for the Unted States Postal Service; it was during this time, he was united in holy matrimony with his loving wife, Hattie Pearl Gardner, in Las Vegas, Nevada. In 1984, he continued to honor Hattie Pearl by together moving to her hometown of Warren, Arkansas, where he began his final career with the Warren School District. He faithfully loved and cherished Hattie Pearl until her passing in 2001. Later in his life, he returned to Las Vegas, Nevada, where he enjoyed his retirement and the remainder of his prestigious life until his death, with his family at his side. To know David is to love him; for he could make a friend with anyone. His wisdom and knowledge will be greatly missed, as his influence has spanned across generations of family, friends and children. His parents, all siblings, and two of his sons (Gilbert Gardner and Alfred Prowell) have preceded him in death. He leaves to cherish his memories; three remaining sons: Timothy Mitchell, David Mitchell (Stephanie) and Corey Prowell (Frances). One daughter: Luwanna Fasen. Nine grandchildren: Shania, Stephon, Kaylon, Cayden, Marquis, Mya, Aaron, Mada, Keejuan and a host of other nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time for my departure is near. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing. 2 Timothy 4:6-8 New International Version
