It’s hard to believe that ten years have passed since we lost this extraordinary man. Since the day you left, the world has felt a little less steady, a little less safe.

Rowland had an easy, down-to-earth presence that made everyone feel comfortable around him. He was endlessly kind and generous, deeply grounded, and one of the easiest people you could ever talk to. He loved his family, found great joy behind the lens of a camera, and appreciated life in its simplest, most meaningful moments.

He is loved beyond words and missed every single day. Your presence may be gone, but your spirit, your warmth, and the way you made others feel will never fade.

We will never forget you, Rowland. Until we meet again. ❤️
