Craig Rowlen Obituary

Craig Rowlen, 75, passed into heaven April 15, 2021. He is survived by his wife of 53 years, four children, seven grandchildren, four great-grandchildren and a brother. He was preceded in death by his parents and a brother.
Craig grew up in Belleville, Kansas and met his future wife at Kansas State University, where he earned a BBA. Craig was subsequently stationed with the Air Force in Japan for three years. He later settled in Colorado with the ambition to be a ski bum, but became a real estate agent to fund his ski passion. His wife skied to see him on weekends. Craig was a State Farm Agent for over 30 years. He and his wife adopted four children from the Philippines in 1985, forming a multicultural family which was a source of both joy and angst. He loved his Lord and was active in his church. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him. A celebration of life with reception afterwards will be held Saturday, May 22, 11AM at the Revive Church in Arvada, (8270 W 80th Ave, Arvada). In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Parkinson's Organization of the Rockies or Revive Church.
