Robert "Bobby" David Rowe of North Canton, Ohio, passed away peacefully with his wife on July 22, 2025, at the age of 66. Born on September 18, 1958, in Newport News, Virginia, to Joseph Rowe Sr. and Mamie Rowe-Clements. Bobby spent much of his life in Gloucester, Virginia, before making Ohio his home. Bobby will be remembered by his love for fishing, motorcycles, and his skill as a woodworker and contractor. During his prolonged illness, he also found peace and comfort in his Christian faith. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his siblings, Joseph Rowe Jr. and Pauline (Rowe) Kepley. He is survived by his wife, Dena Rowe; his sister, Debora Rowe; his children, Josh Rowe and Stephanie (Rowe) Steen; his stepchildren, Cody, Sean, and Justin Metz; his grandchildren, Libby, Ollie, Lanie, Leslie, Damon, and Lydia; and six step-grandchildren. The family is especially thankful for the staff of the Aultman Compassionate Care Center who cared for Bobby in his final days. A celebration of life will be held by the family at a later date.
