Obituary:
James (Jim) Wendal Cowey was born on May 23, 1928 in Gonzales County and went to be with our Lord surrounded by all his family on November 25, 2012. He loved ranching including taking all the grandkids to help take care of the cattle. He was always a gardener from childhood on; from peanuts and raising turkeys to corn, he grew it all. During the last few years, along with his wife, were members of the local Farmers Market. In the earlier years of 1971-1983 Jim and Doris were well known for their pies, wedding cakes, and cookies with Mr. & Mrs. Dyess help at Dyess Parkview Market, then expanding to local businesses such as Davila's BBQ, Judge's BBQ, and Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority. He was one of the first employees for Chaparral Country Club mowing golf courses, and JW Reneau Poultry taking care of their family farm and homestead. He was an avid do-it-yourselfer from constructing the family home to building fences. He loved hunting coons and coyotes, and watching westerns with his wife.

Cowey and wife Patrice; his grandchildren, Krystle, Sarah, Collin, David H., Shelby, and step-grandson, Glen; his brothers and sisters, Edna Mae Grimm, Jake Cowey, Herman Cowey, Sr. and Jessie O'Shay; numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Robert Cowey, Sr. and Helen (Lange) Cowey, brothers, Robert Cowey, Jr., Hilmar Cowey, Sr., Leroy Cowey, Sr. and sister, Hilda Mondin.
