Mr. Ralph Rowland settled his debt for a long and love filled life on July 6th 2017. From a free spirit starting a family to a grandfather full of knowledge, love and encouragement, his life spanned 8 decades. He was a kind, loving, generous, loyal and trustworthy man. It is safe to say there shall never be another soul quite like his. We should all hope and pray that in our final days, we can look back on our lives and say we loved as much as this man did. We should all hope and pray that our children grow up with such a man to look up to. He's the light in a dark room, the warmth of the evening sun and he shall forever be celebrated. He is survived by his wife of 60 years Claudette Rowland, his children, Nancy Brock, Kim Brock & husband Gary, Tammey Rowland, Jeff Rowland, Zach Rowland, and his grandchildren Josh Brock & wife Olivia, and Jeremy Brock. Friends will be received Tuesdasy, July 11 from 11 AM - 1 PM in the Tufts Schildmeyer Funeral Home, 129 N. Riverside Ave., Loveland, where funeral services will follow at 1 PM.
