Mike and I were childhood friends. We shared many laughs and great times, he called me uncle Earl, even though I'm only a couple years older than he was. I now live in Virginia but whenever I came to Winston to visit my parents I managed to go by and spend some time with my dear friend. My pray's go out to his family. God Bless you all. He is in a better place now. He will be missed by all who new him and loved him.

TO THE ROWE FAMILY,
I HAVE KNOWN MIKE SINCE 5TH GRADE. HE WAS ALWAYS THE CLASS CLOWN. IN OUR ADULT LIVES, HE WAS STILL THE SAME 'FUNNY, JOKING' MIKE, HE DID NOT CHANGE. WE WOULD LAUGH ABOUT OUR TIMES IN SCHOOL AND OUR CLASSMATES. HE WILL SURELY BE MISSED, BUT WE KNOW HE IS IN A BETTER PLACE, WHERE THERE IS NO MORE HURTING, TEARS OR GOODBYES. LIFE EVERLASTING.
