Tommy Gene Cowart

Tommy Gene Cowart, age 81, of Jeffersonville, Indiana, by way of Adel, Georgia, passed away suddenly at home on March 25, 2025. A true South Georgia boy, Tommy’s life was a testament to integrity, faith, and hard work, the very essence of the belief that “you get what you sow.”

A kind yet straightforward man, Tommy never left room for misunderstandings, always ensuring those around him knew exactly where they stood in his heart and mind. He was unwavering in his devotion to his family and his faith, a dedication most clearly seen through his lifelong commitment to Branham Tabernacle.
