Rowdy J. Inman Obituary

Rowdy, I will forever remember that big beautiful smile and your extreme all or nothing, no slack attitude. You gave it all brother Paratrooper. May God keep you and protect your Family until we meet again. Sgt. Jack W. Bosley C. Co. 1/505 PIR

Lifting a toast to your memory! AATW H-Minus

Hello,

We wanted you to know that we will be honoring and remembering your loved one this holiday season. We have recently sent Care Packages to our deployed troops in his name. Each package will carry the name, photo, service branch, rank and hometown of Rowdy J. Inman US Army Captain.

We realize that this is a small tribute, but we do this with all respect and sincerity and we want you to know that it is made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals from across the American youth hockey community, our family, friends and many others who support our mission.

We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you safe and strong.

Sincerely,
Charlie Gili & Family
On Behalf of our US Hockey Players Support Our Troops Campaign

It was an honor to have known and served with you.

~Baines

Hey bro, I will never forget when we where young lieutenants in the 3rd ACR. I remember your short break in service and how happy you where to be back in. Never Forgotten Bro. Memorial Day 2022

Was in the SHSU ROTC program with Rowdy. Remember at fraternity sponsored "fight night" (1989) at "Shenanigans" and Inman knocked out his opponent in the first five seconds - one punch! Mom, .... you raised a stud!

Till Valhalla brother

My heart goes out to your family for the loss of your dear soldier. I signed up to do a 5k on Memorial Day in remembrance of a soldier through the Wear Blue Run to Remember organization. They gave me Rowdys name to Honor. When I was looking for his story, I came across this page. I see his loved ones check this page. I wanted you to know, His sacrifice, your sacrifice, is remembered. I will be praying for you tomorrow as I walk in honor of Captain Rowdy Inman.
Sincerely, Regina Harless

Great Patriot , never forgotten. Proud to have been in same unit.God Bless.

Hello Rowdy, I am visiting in support of your mother, Ann, and in remembrance of your service, and your life. We will Not Forget. Rest At Peace, Sir.
Teri, WilCo Blue Star Mothers

This is year 11 since you have been gone. Love you the same as when I first heard the news of your injury and death, still hard to believe that you are gone. the words "just a second" can become a very long time because that is all that it takes for a life to end. Love you. I enjoy all the escapades of Rowdy's while he was in the military becausse he was the same at home. Things just happened to him that would never happen to other people. The more stories the better

Since I last wrote in Rowdy's book I have lost his grandmother and his Uncle Bud. These two have been jsut as hard as loosing Rowdy except instead of just Rowdy gone I now have three gone and me still here which at times does not seem right. But for now have to go on as it is as there is no other way but to work on doing the best while I am here waiting until the right time. For it is not my time but God's time as to the way our lives work. Love you the same today as always.

Brother I am sure you are smiling down with that big grin from Fiddlers Green. You will never be forgotten brother.

My friend, my Brother and my Soldier it's hard thinking back and some memories dim with the passage of time but damn if I don't remember your smile! Remember "borrowing" your KP hat so I could get in line for wolf burgers with the KPs. Damn if that cook didn't look at me twice when I went through the line with the company later that day

I remember Rowdy like it was yesterday. He was one of the first guys I had the pleasure of meeting when I got to Charlie Company 1/505. Not only was he a great solider and person but was a brother Texan! He always had that dang Texas A&M hat on with "Iraq and Back" monogrammed on the back. Rest easy broher.

RIP Rowdy... I was your first roommate when you got to Bragg. You had a rough patch you going thru at that point.... But brother when you over it!!! Lol. You were a good dude. Always will be. Should any of Rowdys family read this and want to hear some good time stories about Rowdy. Please contact me. Dean Rodgers on Facebook

Today as I awoke I thought of you. I still miss you terribly. This is such an awful week. Each day has its own meaning for the next two weeks. You have to have lived it to understand. It has been 7 years now and I still miss you and always will.

This time of year I pause to reflect on family and friends- Rowdy I consider you to be in both categories; this time of year during the holidays I also think of the time I have spent away home while in the great company of men such as yourself. Thank You Rowdy God Bless. H-Minus

I just wanted you to know that I still have Mass said for Ben and Rowdy every December 26. We pray for the repose of their souls, and to honor their sacrifice.

Mother-in-law of Sgt. Benjamin Portell

This morning was a hard morning for me. I remember getting the phone call from mom telling me about you and me like I could make it go away telling her she was wrong. I went to
Shannon's salon today and she did my hair and then had lunch with the kids. I miss you and see you in the kids. Your are loved and missed. We would all give up everything we have to have you back.

Rowdy- you re missed more today than yesterday but less than tomorrow. I do remember and still have our picture at my desk. You know the one right before heading to be aggressors against 10th MNT. We really handed it to them. Take care my brother

I was the pilot of the Medevac that responded to the 9-line for CPT Inman and SGT Portell in Mosul on Dec 26, 2007. My heart still breaks for the family of these two fallen hero's.

In memory and honor of Capt. Rowdy Inman. We remain grateful for his service and sacrifice for our country.

Yesterday was a hard day. Memories of good times and not so good times. Rest easy at Fiddler's Green. Whiskey for my men; beer for the horses.

Miss you brother. Seems like yesterday we were going to church followed by iHop, riding motorcycles (with an unplanned stop at the ER), and talking on the front slope of one of our tanks. I think about you every day and pray for your family. Wish you were here today and that I wouldnt have had to ride in another Rolling Thunder in your honor. Look forward to seeing you again in Fiddler's Green. Brave Rifles!

Your birthady March 14 was a day of remeberance for the family. We got together and had dinner at a mexican resturant for a time to be together and remember you and your service to the nation and the family who loves you so much.

5yrs ago today was the last time that I saw you. The time has not helped I still miss you today as much as I did 5yrs ago. I still feel like you are still in Iraq and will be home any day. It seems to be easier than you will never return home again for me to hold. It is like a bad nightmare to think of me watching Jeff hand Shannon a small blue bag with your worldly belongings. That was all that was coming back that was tangable. I know that you have never really left me in my heart which is a great comfort.
Love Mom

Rowdy- It is hard to believe that it has been five years since I recieved the news of your passing. Thank you for all the memories I have of our time in C Co. 1/505 PIR.
God bless your family as I am sure that this milestone is bitter. I hope and pray that they have peace.

A heart felt Thank You on this Veteran's Day.

Yesterday was a day for remembrance and for me a day that brought back the time I shared with Rowdy and his fellow paratroopers years ago. Thank you Rowdy! Tip one back on Fiddler's Green for me!

Rowdy's Family and Friends,
Every Memorial Day, Veteran's Day, and 4th of July, we thank God for Rowdy and we pray for you all. Please know we love you and think of you often. May God bless you all.
~Philip and Andrea Luu and family

As I have thought about today my son is always on my mind no9 matter where I go or what I do. I think of this as his day, it was a day that he always remembered and wanted to show respect to the fallen soldiers around the world and across generations. The last line of "Flags of our Fathers" says they did not want to be heros, they were fighting for their units as much for the freedom of others.

Never forgotten!

Miss you. Today and everyday.

As I awoke this morning I thought of how I was awoken by my daughter 4 yrs ago with her fast entry into my apt and her crying uncontrolably and telling me to talk to the person on the phone. I told her that I did not want to talk to whoever it was with her reaction to who she was talking to. She then said just listen I took the phone and it was Shannon, Rowdy's wife telling me that he was gone. That he had been shot and killed. I handed the phone back to Stacee and just laid back in bed, telling her to call my brother.
It still seems so unreal but forever burned into my brain. The last 4 yrs have come and gone but he is always in my heart. I feel him with me as if he is still coming home anyday.
Thank you to all the people that have posted notes on this site. The stories that you have of Rowdy has been a great comfort to me.
Rowdy's mom

To the Inman Family: This is Terry Moshier, Ben Portell's mother-in-law. I thought about the two of them all day yesterday; it still hurts. I had Mass said for them. Ben's wife, my daughter, Michelle, came with me, and we prayed for both of them.
Everyone uses the word "hero" very loosley now, to describe anyone who does good in the world. Although I admire those people, I believe that the true heroes are those who risk themselves in service to others. To me, Rowdy and Ben will always be the highest of heroes.
God bless all of you, and give you peace.

Gone but never forgotten..NO SLACK...

To the family and friends of Capt. Rowdy J. Inman:
Please accept my remembrance of Rowdy on the anniversary of his passing and know that he will never be forgotten.

For Rowdy: you are remembered and will always be remembered. From Silverwings to Silver spurs you are one hell of a Soldier. Thank you for you service past and present; for I know that you are someone's Gaurdian Angel! H- Minus

I served with Rowdy in the 3d ACR, and to this day still think of him fondly and with great respect. He will always be missed, and his legacy will carry on with his Soldiers and his friends and family forever.

Brave Rifles!!

It has been almost a full 4 years since the passing of Captain Rowdy J Inman. I still find it hard to beleave that he's not right around the corner poking fun at one of us, his soldiers. I don't think a day has gone by that I haven't thought about him and the guys that I went half way around the world with. Several of my leaders had a profound impact on my life, but none as great as Rowdy. He understood that I was trying to find my place in the cav and he made me apart of his family. It all felt like a family because he cared about all of his soldiers and command alike. We were a team and as Rowdy was the quarterback. I wasn't sure how I would feel going to see his memorial when we got back home. I couldn't help but breaking down. I don't know how many people I've told his story to. I do know there are a lot more to tell. I never forget to say a prayer for him and his wife and kids. This year I will still continue to have a drink for Ironhawk 6. We will meet again one day sir, but not yet.

"Brave Rifles Sir"

I served with Rowdy in 1/505 PIR and remember him always being the wild man of the bunch. Im glad to have had the opportunity to know and work and play with him. He was one of a kind. He will be missed by C 1/505 PIR Alumnis. God bless you and yours. Rowdy, you're my hero, brother!

I remember Rowdy as always having this big grin on his face, like he was getting ready to pull the worlds biggest prank on everyone. He got me good when we jumped into the JRTC at Ft Chaffee in Nov 1991. He was one of CPT Goble's RTOs at the time. I remember the longer we went into the exercise the heavier my rucksack was getting. It was really kicking my butt and I remember thinking that it must just be old age setting in. Towards the end of the exercise we engaged the OPFOR one morning and had a running battle going on down this ridge line where we sustained a few casualties, in fact about the only ones we did sustain thru the whole thing. We were taking the rucksacks of the casulaties down to the road to load up and evac and I couldn't believe that every one of them was much lighter than mine and I couldn't figure out why I was humping so much more weight than anyone else. When the exercise was over with and we got back into the barracks to redeploy I found out why. Dumped everything out of my ruck and onto the bed and there was like a half dozen BA 3030 batteries for the PRC 77 underneath everything else. Rowdy and Sluder got tired of carrying all the extra weight and figured the old 1SG was man enough to handle the load. Every time one of them needed a fresh battery they would wait until I set my ruck down and went off to do something else and they would dive in and swap them out. I had the last laugh though when I volunteered them to stay and help out with the railload of equipment while the rest of us jumped back into Bragg. It tore me up to see his name on the casualty list. Shannon, your husband, the father of your children was an American hero. He will always be missed.

I remember Inman from the old charlie company and he was a good soldier and an even great friend to know. We shall all keep him alive deep inour hearts and minds. Sleep well my friend and stay gold.

To a man I had the honor and privilege of serving with in C co. 1-505 PIR. I was saddened by the news of your passing but know that your sacrifice will never be forgotten. Your memory will live forever in the minds and hearts of those you touched along the way. Airborne All the Way brother and may God bless your soul and bring solace to your family.

It was an honor to serve with Rowdy and even more be his friend. He will always be remembered in mine and my families life. To Rowdys family may God Bless you in all ways and forever. Airborne Brother

Rowdy was one of the first guys I met at C 1/505 when I got assigned there. He was a great person and a great soldier. He will be missed.

C-1/505 P.I.R.

Rest in peace Rowdy. It was a pleasure serving with you. C 1/505 PIR

As this Memorial Day approches you are remembered in my prayers. This was such a special holiday for you and very emotional as we all remember the ones that gave their lives for us.

Rowdy, it seems that time has flown by. Just three short years ago you were showing me the ropes. Now I am a commander and how I wish you were still here to share stories with. I am back here in Mosul. I placed flowers where you fell last Dec. 26. You should be proud to know that we finally got this city quiet. You were more than a commander to me, you were like a dad. You will never be forgotten. No Slack, Sir!

Mrs. Inman, you and all of Rowdy's family are always in my prayers. I have Mass said for Rowdy and Ben on December 26 each year. They are my heroes, along with our nephew, Tim Moshier, who was killed in action 4/1/06. Three brave men, who should never be forgotten, of whom this country should be very proud.

Happy Birthday, son. Monday would have been 42 yrs. and it only seems like yesterday. The last 3 yrs have come and gone without you here. You will always be 38yrs old to me.

Merry Christmas. Miss you.

I consider myself lucky to have served under CPT Inman. He was the best commander, leader and soldier I could have ever imagined. It was an honor to salute him and sound off with "No slack, Sir." He was the best we had to offer and it breaks my heart that he was taken from us. He had such a profound effect on my life, he will never be forgotten.

I wish you had more time...

NO SLACK SIR!

miss and love you everyday

It was with great saddness that I learned of Rowdy's passing. I served with Rowdy in C co. 1-505 PIR during the first Gulf war. I will always remember the smile Rowdy had on his face...May he rest in peace.

Hey I love you and miss you very much. I remember all the good times we had, and my wedding day when you walked in the dressing room and told don't you dare cry and it was to late. All is well here and I do love and miss you. Watch over us very proud of what you have done for our country!!! love you your favorite cousin.

Rest in peace, CPT Inman

I served with Rowdy in C CO 1-505 during Desert Storm and was saddend to of recieved this news. May God rest his soul and give his family peace.

Rowdy,
I am finding it hard for just the right words to write- they all seem to escape me as I remember times past. What hasn't escaped me is your ever present smile. I am sure I will find that same smile on your children.

Rest ye well then with the others at Fiddlers' Green.

You are in my prayers. I had Mass said for you and Sgt. Portell (my son-in-law) this Sunday. The two of you are true heroes.

Ben's Mother-in-law

I miss you sir.
SSG Regan 3PLT, I TRP, 3/3 ACR

You will be missed, but never forgotten.
God Blessu You .

You were important to all of us. Remembering you and your gift at
Christmas time.

On this day and with each day that we enjoy our freedom, I would like to give thanks and let you know that I do not take our troops for granted. May you experience God when you feel your loss.

Sir, you were and are by far the best commander that I could have ever had! CPT Inman was/is a true Soldier amongst Soldiers and he is such an honorable man. No Slack Sir

Rowdy,
It has been eight years since that fateful day that has steered so many to stand up and be counted. I just wished that I could have had a beer with you again. I remeber you with tears in my eyes- Yep your old squad leader from Desert Storm has a soft spot- You and the rest of the squad are my credentials. Thank you for all you have done. Thank you for the KP hat--what a coup that was.....

Mi Hermano para siempre! Loved you Brother and you will be truly missed! To all the good times you,me and Steve had in CC,TX. We are all proud of you and thank you for everything!

Happy Memorial Day! Our thoughts are with the family and thankful for the impact Capt. Rowdy Inman has left on this world and the men and women he took under his wing while serving our country. My husband, Sgt. Tyler Nicholson, spent his tour working with Capt. Inman. His guidance and friendship have never cease to spark up many a story!

I was lead to this guestbook today by my Dad. The waterworks started as I read through the loving thoughts expressed, especially running upon the last post. We too are expecting a boy, and the first decision we made upon finding out about our addition this past December, is that his name will be Rowdy. Names mean a lot, we want to honor his dignity and devotion. Seems Rowdy Inman truly found his calling and touched people greatly along the way. What a hero!

My name is SPC Travis Watson. I was there the day that CPT Inman gave his life for this great country. And not a day goes by where I don't think about the legacy that he left behind. He was a Patriot, Warrior, and a Flawless leader. Me and my wife are going to have a boy and the only name that came to mind to name him is Rowdy. So CPT Inman you will never be forgotten.

I was a junior officer candidate to CPT Rowdy Inman while attending Sam Houston ROTC. He was the first leader I ever had that was critical and candid with me. His mentorship and genuine desire to make me a better man, Soldier, and leader has left a permanent mark on my character. I will be deploying soon as a commander and his mentorship is not lost. His legacy lives on in me and I hope to pass on his spirit to my Soldiers.

CPT Inman, I will never forget your dynamic personality. I am eternally grateful for your service and sacrifice. Thank you for making me the Soldier and leader that I am.

Forever grateful,

No Slack Sir!

I offer my deepest condolences for your loss

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.


The Wind on The Downs

“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”

(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )

Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….

“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”


I did not know Rowdy, but I am remembering
his service and sacrifice. He is my hero. !

The Other Side

i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.

can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.

i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side

the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

On my way into work yesterday, I couldn't stop thinking about where I was last year. And I don't know why, but I feel like I need to write about and share this honor and moving experience I was part of a year ago.

A year ago from tomorrow, on New Year's Day 2008, I welcomed home a Soldier.

I flew to Austin on New Year's Eve to make it to Ft. Hood before he did. The next day and subsequent days I had the honor of bringing home a hero.

The flight that brought him home landed at the West Fort Hood Airfield. The President was spending the holidays on his ranch in Crawford, so there was the usual F-15 protection parked on the tarmac with the plane's crews on hand. As his plane taxied by the hangers where the F-15's were parked, the crews stood tall in formation and saluted this hero as his plane went by.

I stood there on the tarmac on a typical January day in central Texas. Bright sunshine and with a chilly easterly breeze blowing the flags. His wife had asked me to lead him off the airfield. I and the honor guard saluted as his flag draped coffin came out of the hold of the aircraft. We turned and as I led the honor guard, who held this great American with a reverence that only fellow warriors can bestow upon one another, the wind dried the tears on my cheeks.

Captain Rowdy Inman was coming home. Rowdy had been a Lieutenant for me when I was his Squadron Commander for 1st Squadron, 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment on our first tour in Iraq. He had been on yet another tour, this time as a Troop Commander in 3rd Squadron.

As the procession departed West Ft. Hood, we were joined by the Patriot Guard. The Patriot Guard are bikers from all walks of life, veterans, many from Vietnam. Their mantra is "Never Again". There were perhaps 70-80 bikers out there on this very cool morning waiting for us as we left the gates of the airfield. Half of the Guard rode in front of the procession and half behind, clearing our way and guarding our flanks and rear. Rowdy would have been proud to see these Americans escorting him. American and POW/MIA Flags adorned the bikes and the entire sight was moving.

Once on the main road, I was moved again by what I saw. Even along the major four lane highway, US 190, that connects West Ft. Hood to main post and Killeen, people were pulling over out of respect for this hero. Some got out of their cars and put hands across their hearts, many saluted as we passed. Some cars on overpasses even stopped and rendered courtesy. No one passed the procession and no one interrupted Rowdy's final ride home.

Once at the funeral home, there were, what seemed like more than a hundred American Flags all being held by the Patriot Guard. I went over to thank them and they simply replied, "the honor is ours."

I had a chance to see and say farewell to Rowdy and wish him God speed on his trip to Fiddler's Green.

The service was to be a few days later, on the 4th. During the week, I spent time with Rowdy's family and we got wind that there were going to be protesters at the memorial service. Shannon, Rowdy's wife got a call. Once again the Patriot Guard. They assured her she would never see a protester anywhere near the service. We did not.

The church was too small for the amount of friends, family, and comrades who came to pay their respects. I was given the honor of being one of the eulogizers. An honor I felt inadequate to perform for this great Cavalryman. I had shared such a small amount of his life, but a time I will always remember.

Shannon received the Flag. The salute was fired and taps played. Rowdy was finally home.

Rowdy left behind Shannon, daughters Keeley and Casey, and son Gary.

I felt compelled to write this down and send it out to my friends and family. Not that we need reminders that we have brave men and women fighting for our country and freedom every day, but as we ring in another year, I would ask that you drink a toast to Rowdy and the thousands like him.

Rowdy would like that.

Gone but never forgotten or far from our thoughts. He gave our son advice and guideance that he will carry his entire life.

To the family of Capt. Rowdy J. Inman:
Rowdy gave the ultimate sacrifice and will be held in the hearts of Americans forever. I cannot and will not let our fallen heroes be forgotten. My deepest sympathy to you. "Some gave all."

Shannon,

I am so sorry it has taken so long to put anything. I did not know what to say. It has been almost a year and daily I think about you guys and say a prayer for you. I can not imagine how hard this has been and everything you have had to go through to help the kids. You guys were the first I met when we got here and all your help and guidance meant the world to me. Rowdy always made the kids laugh and smile and we miss him greatly. My heart hurts for you and I pray that daily God wraps his arms around you guys and helps carry you.

Rowdy you are greatly missed. You are a true leader. Your love and care for your soldiers showed in everything you did. Thank you for all you did for our family.

NO SLACK SIR !!!

I went to Jumpschool with Rowdy and we all showed up to Ft. Bragg as Privates together. I haven't seen Rowdy since returning from Desert Storm but it was really good to see everything he accomplished. You will be missed, but never forgotten.

RowJ and I served in Crazyhorse Troop in 1/3 ACR. I have many fond and funny memories of Cpt. Inman, that I and everyone that served with him will hold close to thier heart.He will be missed.
My heart goes out to his family. He was very proud of his family and put them on the highest pedistol. Family, and Soldiers were his main priorty, hand took great care of them both.
RowJ, I will see you Fidlers Green, save me a seat,save me a mug, and i'll bring the grog,

Father we entrust our brother Rowdy to your mercy. You loved him greatly in this life: now that he is freed from all its cares, give him happiness and peace forever. Welcome him now into paradise where there will be no more sorrow, no more weeping or pain, but only peace and joy with Jesus your Son, and the Holy Spirit forever and ever.
May God hold Rowdy in the palm of His hand. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. My deepest sympathies.

Rowdy and I served as E-4's in C 1/505 in the Gulf War. "Lumpy," "Top Jimmy," "Goppy," Dale, I, and many others miss him and share your sorrow.

Thank you for the sacrifice made by Capt Inman and the sacrifice made by everyone who loves and misses him! May God bless all of you!!

You are remembered and respected. Thank you Capt Inman!

Shannon,
It has taken me forever to sign this. My heart hurts so much for you and the kids. Rowdy was a man who would have walked through hell for our family and did. He did it without question and was proud to. I would give anything to change things for you. I look at the kids and see so much of him. I know that no matter what you go through he will always be in your heart and watching over you.

I will miss him, but I know we will all get to see him some day.

Love
Sister

It's Memorial Day Weekend. Most people will be having barbecues and parties. Not our family. We will be thinking of Rowdy and our son-in-law Ben who was killed with him, and our nephew, Capt. Timothy Moshier, who was killed on 4/1/06.

All good young men, all with high ideals, all who died for what they believed in.

All who leave large holes in our hearts.

The Inman family will always be in our prayers.

Thank you, Rowdy, for your service.

Hi Sharon,
Our daughters were on the same soccer team, and so was Kenoah and Gary. I see your husband in Gary, the look and everything. What a reminder of strength and determination you have for you. Hope to see you guys again, God Bless your family and the spirit of your late, great husband...

Thank you and God bless to you and your family for a great sacrifice for freedom here and beyond. I have a son named Rowdy and he just got back from Iraq for the second time. Capt. Rowdy Inman has reminded me the great loss we have when a soldier dies.

brave rifles cpt. rowdy inman. i enjoyed every min working with you. im am thankful work personally working with you and thank you for bringing me to your troop. no slack sir.

Our heartfelt sympathy on your loss. My wife and I were fortunate enough to meet the Inman family at a client's wedding we were photographing. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Rowdy is greatly missed. -Ryan

Shannon and Stacee,
From the time I met Rowdy, until his passing my daughter has always considered Rowdy her "big brother." Kelsey was devastated to hear of the tragic loss of losing Rowdy in such a way, and yet, honored to know her "Brother" died fighting for what he believed in. Not a day goes by that Kelsey and I do not think about Rowdy and his family.
I met Rowdy in Corpus Christi, TX in 1994, through my husband at the time, James...Rowdy lived with us and always accepted me as a member of the family. To Rowdy,his family and loved ones, it was a true blessing knowing the man Rowdy was. He will be deeply missed but NEVR forgotten.

Rowdy we love and will miss you for eternity,
Keitha and Kelsey

I first met Rowdy on the parade field at Fort Hood in August 2006 when we restationed from Fort Carson. I was extremely fortunate when he received command because his Troop formed up on the same field behind mine. We would often exchange "hellos" and chat in the morning before PT. Rowdy will be deeply missed, but the part of him that loved being a soldier and a leader that I so admired will live on as an inspiration for me. My deepest condolences to his family as you will always be in my prayers.

Words are never enough when you have a loss, especially when it's someone who was loved by all that knew him.
I am the Aunt of Pfc Joseph R. Berlin, who died only 4 days after Rowdy. I was part of the Nelson family, Gene Nelson was my Uncle in law. When I was looking for our Joey I saw this handsome young man and felt grief it was very strong and I didn't know why. On my knees tonight your Rowdy will be in my prayers with our Joey. I will pray for his children and wife who are missing this special man. My nephew Joey was only 21, and his mother is my twin sister. Even though we have shared most everything in our lives, I can not take this pain away for her or you. But only our Heavenly Father can give you peace. I pray He put loving arms around all our family members that have felt this pain. I pray that the memories are treasured, stories told and retold and in Heaven when we will all be together again I meet your Rowdy and you and your kids meet our Joey. My heart goes out to the entire family, all his friends and the lives he touched. My love to all, Cheri Nelson Lineberger.

Sorry for the loss of such a great man. He was easy going, and always fun to be around. He had a high spirit and always known for smiling and cracking a joke or two. Rowdy and I worked together in Iraq during 04-05 tour. He made that tour easy on the days you were down. To a fellow Infantry brother in Arms, " Gods speed and safe travel".
I truly wish the Inman family my deepest condolance's. I pray that peace be with your family in their time of need.
