Jessica Lynne Rowan

Jessica “Jessi” Lynne Rowan was a beloved daughter, sister, aunt, niece, cousin and friend. Jessi had a smile that could light up the darkest night like the 4 ^th of July and a laughter that radiated nothing but joy for anyone lucky enough to hear it. To be loved by Jessi was to be loved fiercely, unconditionally and whole heartedly. Jessi was miracle child of God and had the most beautiful precious soul of any child her age you’d ever meet.

Jessica Lynne Rowan, of Arcadia, Florida was born June 26, 2001 and departed this life here on earth, Thursday May 23, 2019 to have eternal life and walk with Jesus, in the kingdom of heaven.

Jessi loved life and lived it to the fullest. She loved kids and animals. Jessi loved being outdoors. Jessi played softball since she was 4 years old, lettered in Varsity for softball and weightlifting in high school. She loved riding horses, working cows, she loved being on or in the water. Her idea of a “perfect date” was not the movies but, rather hunting, riding a buggy or 4-wheeler and being in the mud or woods.

Jessi loved everyone she knew and never met a stranger. She had her father’s work ethic and loved to work. Jessi loved to do for others and tried to make others feel happy and help anyone she could like her mama. Most of all she loved the Lord and knew she was blessed with a beautiful life.

Jessi was a recent graduate of Faith Christian Community Academy and was employed by Eli’s Western Wear both of Arcadia Florida.
