Obituary
Ronald Lewis Rowe, 69, passed away peacefully on July 7, 2026, after a long and courageous battle with cancer.
Ronald was a devoted father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and friend whose love for family and passion for life's simple joys left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him.
He is survived by his brothers, Christopher Rowe and Tom Rowe; his sons, Kevin Rowe (Lauren Dollinger) and Ronald Rowe II (Amy Rowe) and his daughter, April; his cherished granddaughters, Ashley Rowe (Donavan Baldwin), Jasmine Ward (Jerry Ward), Emma Rowe, and Jenna Rowe; his beloved great-grandson, Brayden Baldwin; and his dear friend, Johnny Kusch.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Betsy and Lewis Rowe, and his brothers, William Rowe and Tim Rowe.
Ronald had a lifelong passion for bowling. An avid bowler, he proudly spent time competing on the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) Tour, creating memories and friendships through the sport he loved. When he wasn't at the bowling alley, Ronald could almost always be found working on a project. He had a remarkable ability to fix just about anything, enjoyed collecting unique trinkets, and took great pride in giving old treasures new life.
He was also a self-proclaimed professional garage saler, never passing up the chance to hunt for a great bargain. Whether he was tinkering in the garage, searching for hidden gems at yard sales, or sharing stories with family and friends, Ronald found happiness in the everyday moments. His curiosity, determination, sense of humor, and generous heart will be remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Ronald's greatest legacy is the love he shared with his family. He will be deeply missed, forever remembered, and lovingly carried in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
A Celebration of Ronald's Life will be held at Michigan Memorial Funeral Home on Friday, July 10, 2026, from 1:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. A funeral procession will take place on Saturday, July 11, 2026, at 11:00 a.m.
The family extends their heartfelt appreciation for the love, prayers, kindness, and support shown during this difficult time.
