Obituary of John Edwin Rowarth
John Edwin Rowarth,
November 5,1924-January 17, 2024
It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of John Edwin Rowarth in his 99th year, peacefully and surrounded by his loving family.
John was a born and raised in Ilfracombe, England, a true Brit through and through. After the war had ended and he had completed his time with the British Navy, he moved to Canada at the coaxing of his sister and brother in law, He soon met and married, Arlene Elizabeth Edwards, the love of his life for more than 50 years.
Together they bought a home in Markham, and raised several foster children and four children of their own. The family grew and all were married, and before they knew it twelve grandchildren followed, and now several great grandchildren.
Arlene passed at the age of 73, and several years later John sold their home and moved to Uxbridge. Always an outgoing person and easy to chat with, he met people and grew a large circle of friends from his swim group, artist group, to his friends in Testa Heights he was never at a loss of things to do or people to see.
His wife Arlene had always encouraged him to get back to his painting, but a busy life and family never seemed to allow him time, once he settled in Uxbridge he joined a group of local painters and took lessons to improve his water colour technique. His love for art and time painting with friends filled many days.
John had a great sense of humour and a heart of gold, he enjoyed life and lived it to its fullest. He will be forever remembered and greatly missed by all who had the privilege to know him.
Family and friends will be received at Dixon Garland Funeral Home, 166 Main St. Markham North, Markham Ont. on Sunday, January 28, 2024, visitation 11-1 p.m. Chapel service to follow at 1p.m. For those who wish a memorial contribution can be made to Oak Valley Health-Uxbridge Hospital.
