Rowland was a loving and caring young man, he had an awesome sense of humor and an infectious smile that could light up the night! Rowland always reminded us to relax, smile and enjoy life! He was a lover of music and had what we called an OLD SOUL meaning he loved music, old skool rap, and the real R&B. His favorite foods were seafood, fish, shrimp and Mexican food. We loved Rowland very much, we are proud of everything he accomplished in his short time here, and are comforted now that he is with the lord. We will miss him greatly more than we can ever put into words.

To my Family: I�m Free Don�t grieve for me now I�m free, I�m following the path God laid for me. I took his hand when I heard him call, I turned my head and left it all, I could not stay another day. To laugh, to love, to work, to play, Tasks undone must stay that way, I found that peace at close of day, If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy, A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah yes these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you sunshine of tomorrow, My life�s been full, I savored much, Good friends, good times, A loved ones touch, Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Don�t lengthen it now with undue grief, Lift up your hearts and share with me, God wanted me now. He set me free. Romans 14:8 For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, weather we live or weather die, we are the Lord�s Rest In Peace OCHENTAZ We Love You
