Gavin Sowell, age 57, of Crane, Missouri went home to be with his Savior on July 6, 2021, where he heard his Master say, "Welcome Home, Good and Faithful Servant."
Most of his adult life was spent working in commercial concrete. You cannot go many places locally without seeing Gavin's handiwork. In fact, if you ever travelled anywhere with Gavin, he was notorious for pointing out every curb, piece of sidewalk, and driveway he had done. He ended his commercial concrete career with ARC and good friend Alan Cantrell, to serve as full time pastor at Faith Chapel alongside his wife Terrie. Gavin was known as a man of character, who served his God, his family, and community with love. Everyone that knew him was a friend, and knew they could trust Gavin. Gavin always had a word of wisdom and a listening ear. to anyone who needed it. In addition to being a full-time pastor, Gavin was a full-time cowboy. Whether it be training a wild horse or travelling around as a farrier, he passed on his wealth of knowledge and experience to his twin sons, Jake and Sam. Gavin was also passionate about his country and one of his best memories was getting to travel to Washington DC alongside a WWII Veteran on the Honor Flight.
Gavin is preceded in death by both of his parents Jerry and Patsy (Kerans) Sowell and his beloved in-laws Jim and May Reavis and leaves behind his wife Terrie of 35 years, his five children: Emily and her husband Sean of Lakewood Ranch, FL, Lauren and her husband Chris and their two sons Ari and Quin (and soon to be born child) of Crane, MO, Morgan and her husband Joe with their two children Sailas and Lomani of Dallas, TX, Sam and his wife Annie with their son Sutton Paul of Forsyth, MO, and Jake of Crane, MO as well as his beloved church family and relatives . While Gavin may not be on Earth in our presence, we are confident that he is in our future. His favorite phrase, used in his daily devotion text: WE ARE OVERCOMERS and we know he has overcome and will be reunited with him in Heaven.
Funeral Services were held Saturday, July 10, 2021 at 11:00 a.m. in the Reavisville Baptist Church. Burial was in Mars Hill Cemetery under the care of Westrip Funeral Home Crane, Missouri.
Visitation was from 10:00 a.m. until service time in the church.
