Born to Hallie-Byrd Fletcher and Marvin Fletcher, Cowboy grew up with a deep love for people, hard work, and his community. He was preceded in death by his parents; his sisters, Georgia Stiles and Betty Ann James; and his brother-in-law, George Stiles.

Cowboy is survived by his devoted wife, Frances Jean Fletcher; his daughter, Hallie-Byrd Jean Fletcher Johnson, and son-in-law Phil Johnson; his adopted daughter, Casey Bohannan; cousins Sam Fletcher and Junior McKenzie; sister-in-law Mary Stokes; and brother-in-law John Stokes.

A loving husband and father, he embodied determination and resilience, always teaching his daughter to “get back on the horse,” both in the arena and in life.

Cowboy was an extraordinary father who never missed a play day, basketball game, cheerleading event, UIL competition, or award ceremony.
