William Edward "Ted" Rowe, Jr. of Signal Mountain, died suddenly on November 16, 2014 at the age of 52. 

His is the son of Dr. and Mrs. William E. Rowe of Chattanooga, the brother of Ebbie Rowe Cruddas (George) of Jacksonville, N.C. and Chris Rowe (Barbaranelle) of Chattanooga, and the uncle of Austin Royal and Elizabeth and Caroline Rowe.

He is survived by two young sons, William James Rowe and Clayton Andrew Rowe, his father-in-law, Jim Goodridge (Dorothy) and mother-in-law, Nancy Goodridge.

Ted and his boys recently moved back to Chattanooga and were residents of Signal Mountain, where the boys attend school. Their move was very timely as it allowed him to be a full-time caregiver to his mother and father while his mother recovered from an illness. He was happiest at this time.

Ted worked in the restaurant industry across the Southeast for most of his adult life as a chef, manager and owner. He was a caring individual and loved to serve others.

He attended Bright School, McCallie School and graduated from Austin Peay University with a degree in Bio-Chemistry. Ted has been a long time member of First Baptist Church of Chattanooga.

Visitation will be from 5-7 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 20, at North Chapel of the Chattanooga Funeral Home and from 12-1 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 21, at the McEwen Chapel at First Baptist Church.

A celebration of life service will be held in the McEwen Chapel at 1 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 21, with Dr. Thomas Quisenberry officiating. 

In lieu of flowers, please send donations to William Edward Rowe, Jr., scholarship fund for the benefit of Ted’s sons at 1105 Concord Street, Chattanooga, Tn. 37405 or to the ministry of  First Baptist Church of Chattanooga, 401 Gateway Ave., Chattanooga, Tn. 37402. 

Arrangements are by the North Chapel of Chattanooga Funeral Home, Crematory and Florist, 5401 Highway 153, Hixson.
