It is with heavy heart and tehars flowing that I must tell you that my twin brother, best friend and hunting partner was called to the Lord sometime Thursday. I have sketchy details as I have been unable to talk to his wife Kimber. I talked to my sis when I got up this evening and it looks like he was on his way to the airport in Midland to fly home after working for two weeks. I will post more when I know.
UPDATE:
There will be a memorial service for Donald at his church in Mckinny, Texas on Saturday 10/20/2012. I do not have the time right now will post it later.
Terry and Rob, sorry for posting this on Pow Wow but wanted all to see it and figured more would see it here than on the prayer forum. Just trying to honor my brother and let all of his friends he loved and cherished know this sad news.

I don't know either of you, but my eyes are welled up with tears, and they are running down my face. I too have a twin brother that is the same to me as yours was to you. And losing the life partner the Lord provided you with is almost unbearable. I cannot fatham the thought of where you both are now standing, best friend, hunting buddy, brother, husband, gone. Take comfort in his loss by knowing he is truly home now with the Lord. Keep the faith and put it all on him. God Bless you all and the Peace only Jesus can provide be with the whole family.

I am at a loss for words and do not know how I am still able to function. I went to bed this morning at 09:30 and knew something was wrong, I just had a heaviness in my heart I could not shake. I woke up at 16:00 and it was still there, then noticed I had two messages on the answering machine, one from his daughter Christy and one from our sister. I dreaded making the call because I knew it was bad news. I am still in shock. The loss of any loved one is hard but trust me when it is your twin it is even worse. If feels like I will only be half alive for the rest of my life.
-
I am so very sorry for your loss, my prayers are with you Danny, Kimber and your entire family.

I'm fairly new to the forum and don't know either of you, however losing some one you care about is never easy. My condolences to you and your family. Danny I just read your last post, maybe something to think about...but if you look at it the other way, your twin brother is still half alive! He will always live within you, even through death the bond cannot be broken. May you find peace in the fond memories. God Bless

Very sorry to hear this Danny. Prayers sent for the Rowan Family.
I am a twin and like you and Donald, we do everything together. Couldn't imagine the world without him.
I never knew Donald, yet he GAVE my son a bow built by Charlie Lamb because he said how fortunate he had been in his life and wanted to give the gift of trad hunting to a young person just getting started. My son cherishes his bow and it will be put to good use.

It appears that Don may have had a heart attack and gone off the road, he was driving from his worksite to the airport in Midland on his way home after working his two week shift. I thank the Lord that I talked to him on the phone two days ago. My wife and I are working on getting a flight out of Guam to Dallas and hope to be able to fly out on Monday or Tuesday.
We are not sure when or where the services will be at this moment. As soon as I do know I will post here. If anyone wishes to send a sympathy card I am sure Kimber will be appreciative.
The service will probably be at their church in McKinny, Texas. The State of Texas is requiring an autopsy due to the accident so we have to wait on that before anything else can be done. Anyone wishing to send a card:
Kimber Rowan
131 Chrissa Drive
Pottsboro, TX 75076
Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes, you will never know how much they are appreciated.

Danny, Kimber & Family,
I pray God bless you with the peace that only He can give. I lost a brother, my best friend. On his passing I was given these words which did not make sense at that time but give me comfort now, "Time doesn't heal all wounds but time makes them better. Time is your friend."
I trust in time you will be able to grieve and yet smile, mourn and yet feel joy, and endure the pain of loss for the richness of Donald's memory.
For now your tears are not unnoticed and your pain is felt across many miles and many hearts. God bless you in this exceedingly sad time.

Man, this is tough to read. I have had the priviledge of sharing a couple of camps with Donald and Danny, two fine men right there that loved & respected each other. Donny and I sat in the back of a airpalne one time heading into caribou camp laughing and having a good time.
Danny and Kimber my prayers are with you both as you deal with your loss. Donald was a man of faith and it was strong. He wouldn't mind sharing that with you either. Rest assured we'll see him again and have a swell time around that camp.
God Bless both of you. Danny hang in there brother.
-
Stunned. Very sorry. Prayers sent.....

I just saw this about Donald. That makes me sick. What a huge loss to this world and a great new addition to heaven. Gosh, I get emails from Danny everyday and didn't realize I had not gotten them for a day or so because I left Thursday to go hunting with Andy Ivy. I wish Donald were here with us enjoying this hunt.
Kimber and Danny, I am praying for you and with you. I know it's especially hard to lose a twin, and no one is a more devoted wife and friend than Kimber has been to Donald, through thick and thin. Love to both you two with your tragic loss of a great man, husband and brother.

Have been trying to think of something that I could say here that might help ease the pain of this terrible loss, but I can't. I do offer up prayers for peace and understanding for the family and friends.......especially Danny and Kimber. I will continue to pray for all in the days ahead. God Bless-Mike
-
Kimber and Danny, our prayers, thoughts and condolences go out to both of you.
-
So sorry for your loss. I would like to say that Don set an example of what honorable and true men are all about from the instant i'd joined. I had just signed up and was trying to learn as much as I could and figure out what equipment would work for me when Don posted that he was giving away some free broadheads to whomever needed them. Just starting out, I PM'ed him, he sent them, and of course wouldnt accept a penny.
This left a large impression on me... I'd found a place where members shared my desire to shepherd my fellow man. This is a tiny example of Don's character but its's how I'll remember him.
Thank you,
Nathan

Kimber, God bless you and wrap you up in his arms of love and comfort at this time. Danny, May God strengthen and comfort and encourage you. God bless you both and all of your family.

I offered my mass and communion up for Donald this weekend. I never met him, and didn't really even know him except for tradgang. I guess it shows you what I/we thought of the man!

I will pray for you and your family. This is a tragic reminder of how fragile life really is.
God Bless,
Nathan

I have had the pleasure of a bow transaction with Donald . During that time I was blessed to get to talk with him and Kimber. Although I did not know him personally he was a very well respected man by me for the way he treated me just on the phone. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. May our Lord richly bless you.

Danny,
So sorry to hear of this, I pray of the Lord's comforting hand upon you, Kimber and the entire family. Lean on him to help you through this very difficult time. When my Dad passed, a good friend told me to grieve hard and to not hold it, because it is a living testimony to the love I had for that fine man that I was so lucky to have for my Dad. Hope it helps you at least in a small way. Hold the memories close !!

Thank you all so very much, my husband Donald was truly a kind, caring and generous man. I feel like the other half of me is gone. he loved all of you and he loved being here and many of you were as close if not closer to him then some of his family. Your prayers mean so much and your support means more then you will know. Thank you all so much.

Danny and kimber I am so sorry for your loss. I have been off the site for the past three weeks and didn't hear of Donald's passing until I received a call from Kimber tonight. Please know that my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. I recently made a trade with Donald for his Big jim Buffalo bow. I feel honored to have it. Donald was a special guy who will be missed by all of us on this site.

I want to thank each and everyone of you for you thoughts and prayers. They mean more that you will ever know. Don loved archery and this site, I am sure he is smiling down from heaven knowing all of his friends are praying for him. He will be with me always in my heart and soul.

Im very sorry for your loss, God bless your brother and take care of him

I sat for hours last night with tears streaming down my face as read all of your post and prayers about my daddy!!! What an amazing group of people you all are! You have made me realize that my Daddy is not gone he is alive in everyone of you! Bless each of you that carry a piece of him with you because you keep his memory alive! Me and my Entire family thank you all!
Uncle Danny, I like Kimber have not been able find that place where I can be at peace with this but after reading your last post I think maybe I know now where to find that connection. I have had my feeders out for awhile but have been unable to go hunting because that is one of the first things I can remember my Daddy teaching me and every year as I sit In my stand I remember all of it and until now couldn't bring myself to go there but I believe that that is where I need to go to get to that place. I thank your for that insight. I think illI find a good tree and spend the day there. T hat is where he put for an entire day the first time he took me hunting because I would not be quite lol. And remember I love you and keep you in my prayers also.
Again I thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for loving the special man that's was my Daddy!
As I am new to this site I hope I have put this post in a good place for everyone to see it if not I will leave it to the rest of you to pass it on.
-
Christy,
Your right to get back out and hunt. I had a very hard time when my dad passed away and only was able to come to grips with it while sitting on a hillside hunting mule deer like we had for 30 years. That day a feeling of peace came over me as the sun set and I knew he wanted me to go on.
I hope you can find the same peace.
Mike
-
I am glad Christy,that you still love what your Dad taught you,this will be an eternal bond with him,he will always be near you in those moments,particularly.
The Caribow longbow that Kimber sold is now on good hands by a trusty member here,I saw the bow and I am glad that now it is owned by someone that knew Dad and has great consideration of him.Everytime I'll see my buddy with that bow I remember of Nakohe.God Bless you and you family.

Best wishes to you and your family. Sorry for your loss.
Still missing my dad..just over a year now..
Peace.
-
Condolences :(
-
My condolences to you and your family from mine so very sorry
-
Christy, I think it is so cool that you would go back out and hunt in the places your Dad introduced you to and spent special times together.
Will it be difficult? Most certainly. Your emotions will no doubt run high, and your Dad will be foremost in your thoughts. But that is good, because it means that you will be that much closer to him. Trust me, he will be right there with you! The feelings and memories will be just as poignant as if he were sitting physically at your side.
May God bless you and the entire family :pray:
-
My condolences also it hurts to lose a brother of the bow May God Keep him and as he looks down upon everyone.He is walking the trails of gold with a smile listening to the angels singing praises to our Lord and Creator God Bless You All..
-
Christy,
I find great joy in doing things my Dad and I used to do together. Whenever I stalk squirrels I remember walking in his footsteps and him tolerating the sticks that broke under my 9-year old feet (a long time ago).
No way I can look at a bobber floating on a pond without seeing Dad's face looking back at me.
If I see a pile of fresh green leaves on a trail, I'm careful to step over or around -- Dad about busted a gut the day I was following behind him about 30 minutes and learned that one!
Whenever one of those really fast flying grasshoppers gets up in front of me I remember Dad asking me to catch him a few for bait, so he could get a bit of a break from my incessant questioning.
I'm sure it is hard for you now. Those places and activities that were so important to you and your Dad will become precious connections, in time. Embrace them as he would you.

We lost another great TradGanger in 2012.
Mr Donald 'NAKOHE' Rowan....Brother to Danny Rowan.
Danny had been to Solana before and Donald was on the list a couple of time but things came up and even though he always wanted to go, he never made the hunt.
So, Danny sent one of Donald's bows to the ranch, and I requested a broadhead of Donald's.
We gathered around one of the most scenic places on the ranch for a Memorial for Donald, and its the same place we had the Memorial for Chris Surtees after his passing.
I picked a dark hole to send the broadhead into the ground with Donald's bow along side Chris' Ceremonial marking where some of his ashes were spread by his Dad Larry.
Here are a few clips, and a video. Sorry if I didn't come across clear, as these type of things don't come easy for me.
A Solana Tribute to Donald Rowan......
