In Loving Memory of William Douglas Cowart

      William Douglas Cowart , lovingly known as Doug to his family and friends, of Adel, Georgia, passed away on September 6, 2026, surrounded by the family who meant everything to him.

      Doug was a loving and devoted husband and father who always showed a true dedication to his family. He was always looking out for people he loved, often worrying about everyone else before himself. He had an unwavering faith in God, and was steadfast in that faith until the end.

      Doug was also a hardworking businessman and the proud owner of his gaming business. He was known for his determination, tenacity, and above all, his kindness. He had a way of making people feel welcome and turning strangers into friends. A friend described him perfectly as "a man who never met a man he couldn't make a friend." That ability to connect with people was a true reflection of the kind of person Doug was.

      Doug was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Bill and Betty Cowart of Adel. He was also preceded by his wife's dad, David Woodard.

      He is survived by his beloved wife and son, Kim and Davey Cowart; his parents, Greg and Cyndee Cowart; his maternal grandparents, Melvyn and Sharon Rowan; his brother, Josh Cowart all of Adel; his sister, Nikkee and her husband, Jeremy Foster; his niece and nephew, Guy and Quincee Foster all of Valdosta, Georgia; his aunts and uncles, Pam and Tom Bartholomew; Priscilla and Jody Greene, Scott and Cindy Rowan; and several cousins and extended family members. He is also survived by his wife's family; her mom, Betty Woodward; her brothers, Zachary Lammons, Matthew Woodward, David Woodward and wife Jessica Woodward; her sisters. Zoe Simmons and husband Devin Simmons, Clarissa Dancer, Kathy Welch and husband Jim Welch.

      Doug's life touched many people in ways that will never be forgotten. He will be remembered for his unwavering devotion to his family, his generous heart, his determination, and his ability to make everyone around him feel like a friend. His love and care for others were a constant part of who he was.

      Although his passing leaves an immeasurable void, the love he gave and the memories he created will remain forever in the hearts of those who knew him. He will be deeply missed, forever cherished, and always loved. 

      Rest peacefully, Doug. You were loved beyond words, and your memory will live on in all of us.
