Fowler was born July 23, 1975, in Austin, TX to the parents of the late Rev S.G Fowler and his wife Cora Lee Fowler. Enoch was the last of five children. Growing up in a home of great love for God, Enoch accepted Christ at an early age and attended Peaceful St. James Baptist Church under the late Rev. J.T. Townsend. Talk about a man who loved his city, that was Enoch Fowler! He loved Austin TX and wanted nothing more than to be a huge impact for and in the community. Enoch was the friendliest person you could ever met, he always saw the good in people, even if no one else could see it. It’s been said a million times he’s never met a stranger. Enoch was selfless, caring and an amazing father to not only his own children but to all the kids in the community. Taking on the role of being a mentor came very easy for Enoch, he always stressed the fundamentals of life, responsibility, accountability, and the importance of hard work, to every child he encountered. His motto was, “I just want to help these kids get to college and be successful in life". He wanted to save them all from life’s obstacles! “FOR I KNOW THE PLANS I HAVE FOR YOU…” JEREMIAH 29:11 Enoch started his passion of coaching in year 2000 becoming the legendary Coach E as a head coach for a recreation basketball league for two years. He then also coached football from years 2010-2016 being the offensive coordinator for the NAOE Bulldogs, CCYA Tigers, Delwood Optimist, Manor Ducks and Delvalle Ducks. While his love for coaching both football and basketball continued to grow in year 2010, he decided to create a basketball team for his 9-year-old daughter, which then led him to becoming the CEO and founder of North Austin Outreach Elite basketball, a nonprofit AAU basketball organization. Starting out with only 4 coed teams to expanding his organization to over 50 plus teams. In the year 2021 he changed the name of his basketball organization to D5 Global in honor of his deceased son who passed away at the age of 5. Enoch’s organization grew globally literally, with teams varying from Austin, Houston, East Texas, Bryan College Station, Alabama, Memphis, Louisiana, Florida, Philadelphia, Indianapolis and even Canada! Enoch coached players of all ages, forming together globally to play the game of basketball wearing proudly D5 across their chest from all over 50 states. Togetherness, Toughness, and Tenacity was his philosophy. Enoch will be remembered for his contagious laugh, enormous smile, and thunderous coaching voice on the courts. May the D5 legacy continue to make a difference in the lives of the children that participate in his organization. “THEY SHALL BE ONE FLESH…” GENESIS 2:24 In July of 2011, Enoch met his soulmate, best friend, and the love of his life, LaShonda Simonton. They were united in holy matrimony on June 30th, 2019, in Austin, TX by Minster Richard Able. Together the two enjoyed traveling the world, challenging each other to try new things, and creating beautiful lifelong memories just being inseparable daily. Their love was unconditional, their commitment to one another was real and their bond was solid in their love for family and community. Enoch was deeply devoted to his wife, children, and grandchildren. “I HAVE FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT; I HAVE FINISHED MY COURSE…” II Timothy 4:7 On Wednesday afternoon, January 24, 2024, a golden heart stopped beating and hard-working hands were put to rest, as Enoch Enis Fowler crossed into eternity.
