Obituary of Michael Franklin Rowley

Born in Tacoma on April 1st 1947 he went to heaven reluctantly on December 8, 2011. His parents Walter and Frances preceded him in death. He is survived by a Brother Pat, Sister Pam, Wife Linda, Son Jason / Darcie , Daughter Rita / John and 2 Grandsons Aiden, and Landon. We will all miss him greatly. He did not want a funeral or a service due to his wishes and in his words “I don’t want everybody crying over me” so that will not be done and we should just think of all the good and bad times in his life that we will never forget and will keep him with us forever. He had told me about a year ago, that when he died he is going to haunt me, and I told him go ahead I won’t be afraid. Because I know he loved me with all his heart and he would never do anything that would ever hurt me or anyone. He was a hunter and a fisherman, but he was one of the most caring and compassionate men and fathers I have ever known, our children and I loved him greatly. Signed His Loving Wife Linda Rowley
