Obituary for Carl Eric Cowgill

Carl E. Cowgill, age 38, passed away on December 30th, 2019 in his home in Stockton CA. His Memorial Service will be held Sunday January 12th, 2019 at 1:00PM. The services are at Colonial Rose Chapel in Stockton CA (520 N. Sutter St, Stockton CA 95202). Carl was born on October 9th, 1981 in Sacramento, CA to John and Carline Cowgill and he made quite the entrance into this world as his mother did not know she was pregnant with twins. She went into labor at home and he was delivered by his grandfather Carl Kropp whom he was named after. He started his love of reading and video games at a young age and those passions never left him. He attended Lincoln High School and during that time he earned a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, was a member of the JROTC, competed in the Science Olympiad and graduated in 2000. After high school he joined the Marine Corps and served for six years. After completing his Marine Corps training, he wanted to pursue his love of video games and majored in computer science, while also earning an Associate’s degree in Physical Sciences from San Joaquin Delta College. Carl then pursued a career in Real Estate and continued to sell houses until a year before his death. He was an avid animal lover and had 2 dogs that he loved like his own children named Sugar and Spice. He enjoyed art, technology, cooking and video games in his free time. He always left an impression on anyone he met and usually got a laugh out of them. Carl was known for his sense of humor, creativity, and high intelligence. Fun and laughter were always his top priorities and everything else came second. He is survived by his immediate family members, his mother Carline Cowgill, his father John Cowgill, his twin brother John Cowgill Jr., his sister Jennifer Cowgill, his niece who absolutely adored him Caitlin Prater, his aunt, uncles, and many cousins. He will be greatly missed.
