Jeffrey Steven Cowart

Jeffrey Steven Cowart passed away on March 20, 2025 at the age of 59. Jeff was an Ocean Springs native. He lived his life with passion, music, and an open heart, leaving behind memories that will echo for years to come.

A lifelong musician, he had a voice that could stop you in your tracks. Whether he was on stage or just singing along to his favorite rock ‘n’ roll songs, music was his greatest joy—and he shared it freely with the world.

Above all, he was a father, a son, a brother, and a friend.

He was preceded in death by his father, Woodrow D. Cowart Jr.; his maternal grandparents, Frank (Elsie) Bertucci; his paternal grandparents, Woodrow (Elizabeth) D. Cowart Sr; his uncle Robert O. Cowart; and his first cousin Robert R. Cowart. He is survived by his daughters, Olivia (Natalie) Geiser, Lindsey Gore, and Kristian Cowart; his mother, Geraldine Cowart Miller; his stepfather, Charles Miller; his brothers, Woodrow (Lisa) Cowart and Christoper (Rene) Cowart; sister, Dana (Greg) Heath; aunts, Maureen (Harold) Bertucci Baronich and Bonnie Cowart; and many others who loved him deeply.

Though he has left this world, his spirit remains—woven into the songs he loved, the memories he created, and the lives he touched.
