Thomas Rowe Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Dear God, I miss my beautiful brother and best friend. I pray that you remind me that he remains a part of me in everything I do and everything that I am. Continue to show me that he is still a part of my life. I ask that you keep the bond between us strong until the day I shall see him and my family again. I loved the charitable spirit you had, but never wanting to be recognized for it. A gentle soul who never spoke ill or judged anyone. Simple and humble was his way of life. Tom attended West Aurora High School and served his country in the Marine Corp. Battalion Platoon 3112. His voracious interest in books on all topics was his passion. Knowledge was his inspiration. I aways admired all of you, all that you did and all that you were. Thank you, brother, for all the blessings you gave me.
Tom was preceded in death by his father, Oliver Rowe of Ironwood, MI, and his mother, Joanne (nee Albrecht) Rowe of Naperville, IL. He is survived by his sister, Kim, and family pet, Bucky.
I will see you, Mom and Dad again. I love you, Kim.
Tom's celebration of life gathering will be held and announced at a later date.
