Joseph Samuel Kowall Jr, "Sammy" of Monongahela, PA passed away on November
29, 2023 at the age of 54 at Washington Hospital.

Surviving to cherish his memory are his parents, Sam and Gloria Kowall; two brothers,
Gary (Susan) Kowall of Washington and Brian (Carrie) Kowall of Donora; also nieces
and nephews, Brice, Jaidyn, Sadie and Tyler Kowall.

Sammy was born on June 3, 1969, and grew up in Donora, PA. He was a 1987
graduate of Charleroi Area High School after which he proudly served his country in
the U.S. Navy.

He worked as Senior Network Support at AT&T in Atlanta, Georgia for
18 years before moving back to Monongahela and starting his own business, Mon
Valley Drone. Being a superior drone pilot, videographer, photographer, and media
editor were his passions. He generously lended these skills to promote the family
business, Interstate Golf & Activity Center, where he worked as Range Manager
alongside his brother and dad. He and his best bud "Eddie The Welsh Terrier" worked tirelessly keeping up the place and were both loved by the staff and the customers.

Sammy's laugh, spunk, wit, work ethic, and willingness to make everyone feel
welcomed, (along with his drone skills) was what caught the eye of TruFit Marketing in
Canonsburg where he has worked for the last 4 years. There he had a role he
flourished in, a career he was proud of, and a work family that he truly loved.

When Sammy was not working he enjoyed music, sports, travel, concerts, good food,
trivia, tech, family, friends, and Eddie. He could be found listening to his endless
playlists, while buying concert tickets, watching the Pens play, texting his cousin about
their next travel adventure, posting a Connections Challenge for the family chat, trying
a soup recipe he found on TikTok for his parents, RSVPing to his niece's soccer game, and checking on Eddie with his GPS collar. Yes, all at the same time, and with ease!
He was just that smart, talented, motivated, involved, and thoughtful. His love of
everything wired and wireless really allowed him to make a living, be a wealth of
information, live his life doing the things he loved, and truly be the glue that held our
family together even though we were miles apart. There will never be another Sammy.
He will be inexpressibly missed and will live forever in our hearts.
