Their Story
Remembering Aaron P. Fowler.
LTJG Aaron P. Fowler was lost on April 17, 2022, while participating in a training exercise at Marine Corps Base Hawaii in Kanehoe Bay.
LTJG Fowler grew up in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and graduated from Union High School. Originally in the Class of 2016 and in 25th Company, LTJG Fowler joined 8th Company and the Class of 2018 as a MIDN 2/C after going on a two-year mission. After graduation, LTJG Fowler commissioned as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal Officer (EOD).
His company classmates describe him as being, “a cut above his peers. Incredibly hardworking and vastly intelligent, he was drawn to challenging and painstaking work. It was no surprise to anyone that he graduated in the top of the Class of 2018 and was selected to attend graduate school immediately after leaving Annapolis.
It was even less surprising that he chose to join such an elite and challenging community as Navy Special Operations. In spite of his impressive performance, Aaron was as humble and approachable as anyone in 8th Company, and was frequently sought after as a mentor and friend by classmates and underclassmen alike.
Lastly, and most importantly, Aaron was defined by his faith. His roommates, his company mates, and his friends all knew that his relationship with God came before everything and he truly lived what he preached. The friendships and relationships that he cultivated through his faith were felt throughout the Brigade.”
“Aaron Fowler was our friend, our brother, a Baller and a Bearshark. Although he has left us, we are humbled by his selfless service and forever strive to meet the high standard of character he leaves behind. Rest easy, for we have the watch.
