Wallace R. Rowland
Wallace R. Rowland, 73, of Chattanooga, Tennessee, went home to be with his Savior on Thursday, August 26, 2021.
He was a lifetime resident of Chattanooga and attended Kirkman High School. He was a Vietnam veteran. He was a member of Highland Park Baptist Church, and loved his Savior.
He followed in the steps of his father to become an ironworker. He worked on the construction of Hamilton Place Mall. His desire for the open road led him to buy a semi-truck, a job he enjoyed tremendously.
He was preceded in death by father, Oris C. Rowland.
He is survived by his loving wife of 35 years, Connie Rowland (known to him as his bride); sons, Matt (Kaitlin) Rowland of Fort Oglethorpe, GA, Tim Rowland of Chattanooga, TN; grandsons, Cameron Rowland, Corbin Rowland, Eli Rowland; mother, Nora Zulee McBryar; brothers, Eddie (Bobbie) Rowland, Sam (Trish) Rowland; sister, Janis Rowland; several nieces and nephews; and great nieces and great nephews.
Ray’s last testimonial to all: believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and accept Him as your Lord and Savior.
The family would like to thank Terry and Teresa Kelley, Joe and Barb Harper, and Danny, Cathy, and Caleb Harper for their continuing support.
