Terry Lynn Rowe, 62, of New Carlisle, IN passed away in the early hours of October 22, 2023, after a tough battle with lung cancer. He was born March 3, 1961 to Glenn and Leota (Osborn) Rowe, the 8th of 10 children. He married the love of his life and high school sweetheart, Sandra Kay Scott, in South Bend, on February 2, 1985. Terry and Sandy shared 48 wonderful years together, almost 39 married, and raised three beautiful daughters.
Terry loved his family more than anything. He shared a special bond with his wife, that began when they started their life journey together at the young ages of 14 and 13. He enjoyed visiting with his daughters, talking about anything and everything. He also loved spending time with his pets, as they were his babies. Terry was passionate about playing the guitar, singing, gaming, keeping up with current events, and watching his favorite movies and shows.
Surviving and heartbroken are his wife, Sandy; his daughters Kally, Emily (Evan Moore), and Abby (Schyler Hay); his two incredible grandchildren Alayna and Christopher Rowe; and his good boys (his kitties) Simon and Tweek. Other survivors include his siblings: Wanda (Jerry) Culvahouse, Ronald (Janie) Rowe, Brian (Theresa) Rowe, Gene Rowe, Glenda (Elmer) Miller, Margaret Breitzke, Brenda Rowe, Donna (John) Rowe-Croghan; his best friend Mike Horner; and a large family of in-laws, cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and friends.
Preceding him in death are his parents Glenn and Leota Rowe; his sister Maxine Rowe; and his dogs: Change Lee and Phoebe.
Per his wishes, traditional formal services will not be held, and cremation will take place. The family plans to have a celebration of life in his honor at a later, undetermined date.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the family directly to aid in end-of-life expenses, or to a charity of your choice.
