Joe F. Rowland Jr.

My younger brother has been a special part of my life for so long,I can't imagine a day without his jokes and teasing.Few people knew what an intelligent person he was, what a great mind he had because he tried to interact with everyone in a way they could understand. My love and prayers go to his precious family whom he adored. I'm so blessed that I had him as a friend, a brother,and a confidant.Thank you for a ceremony that truly reflected his life, his wit, and his friendship to all.

Joe was my big brother by 8 years. As big brothers always do, he never thought I grew up and still enjoyed terrorizing me at every opportunity. He loved a good joke, that is for sure. It is so nice to see how he was able to touch so many people. I only hope I am able to do as well as he in brightening other peoples lives.
My prayer goes out to Debbie. I cannot imagine a life without my spouse and I'm certain that there will be a great void in hers. We are here for you Deb. We love you...

I was lucky enough to have Joey as my uncle. He was always quick with a hug and a smile, and always there for me when he suspected I needed him. Joey was brave, as well. He volunteered to teach me to drive, and didn't give up even when I nearly got us both creamed! I will always remember how he was a regular encyclopedia of both vital and trivial information, and once he learned something he NEVER forgot it! He was such a gentle and caring person, and he always showed that he loved me, and...

I worked for Joe at the Walmart in White Settlement when the store first opened. I enjoyed stories about little Christopher (3 at the time)...Joe was a wonderful boss and friend. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Joe became my pharmacist at White Settlement Walmart many years ago. We found a mutual love for fishing, big band music and Canada. Whenever possible we had lunch and talked of these and family.I will think of you fondly, big fella. God bless the family.

Dr. Art Rutledge and Jule Rutledge Jennings were neighbors of Joe and his family. Our thoughts are with them at this time. We have many wonderful memories of time spent with the Rowland family.

I too was one of Joe's childhood friends. In addition to the neighborhood games, Joe's father was the coach of our Little League baseball team. May Joe's family be comforted by many wonderful memories. They will be in our prayers.

I remember Joe from the neighborhood when we were kids. Joe was a big part of the baseball games at Rix Quinn's house and building Christmas tree forts in the ravine behind his parent's home. Joe was a lot of fun to be around and there was always something going on.

We were lucky to be able to be kids when we were young. I know that Joe passed on the ability to have a good time and enjoy life to his family. I hope that your memories of good times with Joe sustain you in the...

I was one of Joe's childhood friends and neighbors. We shared many wonderful hours playing sports, especially baseball.

Not long ago Joe and I met for lunch, and renewed old friendships. He was a wonderful person with a terrific personality.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Mrs. Rowland, Cindy, and other members of the Rowland family.
