In loving memory, Orval Junior Rowell left this world peacefully in his sleep in the early morning of January 14th, 2024 at 61 years old.
Junior was born December 31st, 1962, to Orval Gene and Iva Dell Rowell, whom he proceeds in death along with his brother Bobby Rowell and sister Wynona Faye Schwab.
He is survived by his two daughters: Jennifer Rutter and fiancé Aaron Merchant and Rainey Rowell and partner Bradley Sandoval. His grandchildren Blaine Cole, Autumn Marie, and Journey Aaryn. His best friend Kevin, and many nieces and nephews and great-nieces and great-nephews.
Junior loved fishing and working on cars. He was ornery and a big jokester. He loved his girls, his grandchildren, and his family deeply. In his final year Junior got to spend time in Tennessee watching his granddaughter Journey grow, building a better relationship with his daughter Jennifer, and was on a year’s journey of sobriety.
No services will be held, but at a later date there will be a gathering to spread his ashes over his parents’ graves like he requested.
