Robert Bruce Rowan

February 2, 1959 - January 25, 2022

Robert Bruce Rowan (62) entered into the presence of Jesus on January 25, 2022. Rob was born and raised in Redford Township. He graduated from Thurston High School class of 1978. If you ever spent five minutes with Rob (Robbie) you knew him. He was an open book and a great one at that. You would be taken in by a joke, a story, his latest home project or pictures of his outdoor adventures; and then you became part of the book. Rob loved life. Being outdoors is where he liked to live it with cycling, hiking, cross country skiing, kayaking and camping. It would not be unusual to see him out with a modified dog-friendly apparatus that would allow him to take his beloved dog, Ricky, and most recently, Storm, on all his adventures! Rob spent the last 30+ years working for Detroit Diesel; where surely he entertained his co-workers with his humor and antics to the fullest! Rob is survived by many nieces and nephews and by his sisters, Patti Leonard, Nancy (Mike) Duncan, Mary Mendell, and his brother John (Donna) Rowan. He is preceded in death by his parents, Norman and Vesta Rowan and his brother in-laws, Robert Leonard and David Mendell. Our sweet baby brother and loving Uncle, you will be missed beyond words and our hearts will forever have a void. Until we meet again, see if you can get a campsite near the river and keep the campfire going! Please join family and friends for a Celebration of Life at a later date.
