Ronald S. Rowley
Ronald S. Rowley, 43, passed away Saturday, May 5, 2001, in St. Mary's Hospital, Tucson, Ariz., of complications from hepatitis C. Ron put up a long battle, many times baffling medical professionals by beating the odds.
Ron was born Feb. 5, 1958, in Oak Park, Ill. He graduated from high school in Tempe, Ariz., and attended college in Flagstaff, Ariz. Ron spent his life living throughout the western states.
Ron lived by his own rules and broke all others. This made him a remarkable human being and he lived a life many envy. He had a love for family and friends, an adventurous spirit and a charisma none can replicate.
He spent many years as a river guide on the Colorado River, a job he loved and was proud of. An avid outdoorsman, Ron was drawn to areas of great beauty including Lake Powell, Ariz., Jackson Hole, Wyo., and the north shore of Lake Superior.
It is fitting that Ron would have died on Cinco de Mayo. Anyone who had ever tasted his Mexican food knows that he could battle all renowned Southwestern chefs.
Ron was preceded in death by his mother, Elizabeth Mutschler Rowley.
