Hurley Joe Bowers' Obituary
Hurley Joe Bowers, 80, of Albemarle, passed away peacefully at his home on Monday, April 6, 2026, surrounded by his loving family.
A graveside service will be held at 3:00 p.m. on Friday, April 10, 2026, at Fairview Memorial Park. There will be no formal visitation.
Hurley was born October 17, 1945, in Stanly County to the late Carlie and Edith Bowers.
He is lovingly survived by his children, Cale Bowers (Paula) and Amanda Grizzard (Eddie); his grandchildren, Caleigh Bowers, Moriah Grizzard, and Rachel Grizzard; one great-grandchild, Rayleigh; and his sister, Monica Laton (Kenny).
Hurley was a man of few words, but when he spoke, his words carried weight. He appreciated the simple pleasures in life and found his greatest joy in spending time with his family. He was a Master Mason with Lodge #703, a devoted patriot, an avid fan of SEC football and Duke Blue Devils. He also had a special love for his dog, “Bama,” and enjoyed his lifelong interest in firearms.
The family would like to express their sincere gratitude to Carroll and Martha Hudson for the care and compassion shown to Hurley during his declining health.
Stanly Funeral and Cremation Care of Albemarle is honored to serve the Bowers family.
