Obituary of Daniel James Rowe

On Wednesday June 3rd, 2020, Daniel James Rowe, a beloved son and brother, passed away at age 24 from a tragic automobile accident in Tampa, Florida.

Danny Rowe was born on March 25, 1996 in Meriden, Connecticut to Jim and Jackie Rowe. Danny graduated from Vinal Technical High School with a degree in manufacturing. He then went on to attend the University of Northwestern Ohio to pursue his passion for cars. Danny eventually moved to St. Petersburg, Florida to live out his aspiration of being free spirited and adventurous. 

Danny had a love for nature and outdoor activities. He relished sunsets, beaches, and always taking the scenic route. He savored attending concerts and festivals to share the warmth of music with others. He had a passion for cars and yearned to master the skill of modifying them. Danny was also exceedingly in-tune with his spirit and soul who he exposed to the world. He was an animal lover, especially for his dog Abbey, but most importantly Danny was a lover of people. He was an empath that had the rare ability of being emotionally intelligent. Danny honed his skills of inter-personal communication and used this to help different communities within the St. Petersburg area. Danny had a transferable way of making people smile and laugh. He taught people how to love themselves, how to love others, and how to navigate emotions in the most aesthetic fashion. His contagious laugh will be especially missed.

Danny is survived by his parents Jim and Jackie, his brother Nick, his grandparents Karen and Paul, his beloved aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends whom will miss him dearly. A private service will be held in memory of Danny. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to your local humane society or Make-A-Wish Foundation.
