Wayne M. Rowley, a devoted father, brother, and friend, departed this life on March 31, 2025, at the age of 59. Born on September 30, 1965, Wayne lived a life dedicated to his family and always strived to do what was right. He believed in the afterlife and that families could be together forever.
Wayne earned his master's degree in accounting while supporting his wife and four children. Although he and Valerie later divorced, his commitment to providing for his family led him to relocate to Texas for better opportunities. He deeply loved his children and cherished any time spent with them, especially enjoying boating, fishing, and sharing a bag of Oreos.
He faced a significant health challenge with a liver transplant, which altered his life, but he persevered with strength and can be remembered for the life he lived and the legacy he leaves.
Wayne is survived by his four children: Preston (Hope), Corbin, Kennedy, and Sadie; and his four grandchildren: Riley, Payton, Camden, and Ruby. He is also survived by his siblings: Jan, Carleen, Tamra, Marianne, and David. He was preceded in death by his parents, Cal and Marge Rowley.
Wayne was a remarkable soul who consistently put his family first, demonstrating unwavering love and boundless generosity. He found joy in life's simple moments and was a source of endless encouragement to those around him. His legacy lives on in the laughter he shared, the sacrifices he made, and the warmth he left in the hearts of his family. His spirit remains a guiding light, reminding them of the beauty of a life lived with love and kindness.
A memorial will be held on 04/11/2025
