Wilbur Dean Rowe was born in rural Nodaway County, Missouri on April 8, 1932, the son of Oakley Rowe and Anna (Barber) Rowe. He grew up attending rural schools in the area and then attended high school in Sheridan, Missouri where he met and married Patsy (Brown) Rowe. Together they were blessed with five children, three girls and two boys.
The couple moved to their current farm in 1958, where Wilbur resided until his passing. Wilbur loved the farm. He enjoyed caring for and raising livestock. Wilbur enjoyed welding and fabrication work. There wasn’t much Wilbur couldn’t make or fix! Wilbur was also a great horseman. He enjoyed being in the Bedford Saddle Club and hunting coyotes when time allowed. He loved being around all his family, especially his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Left to cherish Wilbur’s life are his children Vickie Backhus and Bud Patterson of Centennial, Colorado; son, Dean Rowe and wife Susan of Bedford, Iowa; daughter, Donna Bane and husband Ron of Lorimor, Iowa; and son, Jim Rowe and wife Julie of Bedford, Iowa; thirteen grandchildren; twenty five great-grandchildren and 1 great-great-grandchild; son-in-law, Roger Poore; along with many other relatives and friends.
Preceding Wilbur in death were his wife of 62 years Patsy; his parents, Oakley and Anna Rowe; daughter, Debbie Poore; son-in-law, Steve Pfander; step-grandson, Chance Bane and step-granddaughter, Heather Bane.
Although Wilbur will be greatly missed, his love, grit and inspiration will live on through his family.
