On March 30, 2024, Flem Dennis Rowe, age 84, passed away peacefully while holding the hand of his beloved wife of nearly 66 years. Flem was born September 10, 1939, the son of the late Dewey and Rhoda Ann Rowe of East Lynn, West Virginia. He is survived by his wife, Christine Davidson Rowe; their three children: Dennis Larry Rowe, Robin Rowe Creasy (Greg), and Mark Allen Rowe (Kristen); seven grandchildren: Kristina Zucchino (Paul), Bethany Bickerton (Zack), Jessica Vogt (Jimmy), Edwin Reyes (Ilgin), Ian Rowe, Allen “AJ” Rowe, and Andrew Rowe; nine great-grandchildren: Sakinah, Ellie, Amir, Ethan, Aliyah, Evan, Ali, Otto, and Milo; and a sister Freda Moon (Frank). In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by six siblings: Frank Rowe, Dewey Rowe, Jr., Dorothy Mills, Sylvia Sharp, Donald Rowe, and James Douglas Rowe. Flem Rowe proudly served his country in the United States Air Force for over 22 years. He served stateside as well as abroad in Turkey, Vietnam, and Tiawan. He was honorably discharged with the rank of Senior Master Sargeant in 1979 and returned home to West Virginia with his family. He worked for Alcon Industries, helping to expand services in Australia and Puerto Rico until he retired for the second time. Flem was a quiet, unassuming man who rarely spoke of worldly accomplishments. It was his example that spoke volumes. He lived his faith daily and encouraged his family to do the same. His dedication to his wife and family was unparalleled. As he continues his journey in the arms of his savior, he leaves with us the greatest gifts: unconditional love we will hold in our hearts forever and faith we will cling to until we see him again. Friends and family may call Friday, April 5, 2024, from 9 am until 11 am at Henson and Kitchen Mortuary and Cremation Services in Huntington, West Virginia near Barboursville, with a service immediately following. Interment will be at White Chapel Memorial Gardens in Barboursville, West Virginia. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Lewis Memorial Baptist Church 5385 W. Pea Ridge Road, Huntington, West Virginia 25705. They will donate the funds to Gideons International in Flem’s memory for the distribution of bibles around the world.
