Dennis Ray Rowland, born May 27, 1958, in Chula Vista, California, passed away peacefully on November 3, 2025, at Golden Rose Assisted Living in Marietta, Georgia. He was 67 years old.

Dennis was preceded in death by his father, Glenn E. Rowland, and his mother, F. Viola Rowland. He is survived by his sister, Donna Rowland-Gough (Ed); his twin brother, David Rowland (Linda); his four children - Kimberly Barnett (Lincoln), Jessica Tripe (Spencer), Stephanie Jury (Mikael), and Eric Rowland (MacKenzie) - and four grandchildren, all of whom were a continual source of pride and joy in his life.

For much of his career, Dennis worked with the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration in College Park, Georgia, where he took great pride in serving as a Payroll Specialist. He was known for his dedication, accuracy, and willingness to help others - qualities that reflected his genuine care for people.

Dennis's journey was one of both light and shadow. He faced personal battles that often distanced him from those he loved most, yet his heart remained tender toward his family and friends. His faith gave him hope, and the friendships he built through work and community offered genuine connection.

Family and friends will gather later to celebrate Dennis's life and share memories.
