In Loving Memory of Will Rowlands

Willard Rowlands, of Phoenixville, passed away peacefully at home on November 3, 2026.

Born to the late Willard and Muriel Rowlands, Will will be remembered for the life he lived, the things he loved, and the memories he shared with those closest to him.

Will enjoyed a successful career in sales, a profession he took tremendous pride in. He had a natural ability to connect with people and built his career through hard work, determination, and a genuine passion for what he did.  Will had a lifelong love for animals, motorcycles, and cars. He enjoyed the freedom and excitement of the open road and had a special place in his heart for animals. A man who could fix just about anything, Will seemed to have every tool imaginable and knew exactly how to use them. Whether it was a simple repair or a seemingly impossible project, he was the person friends and family knew they could call. No matter the time of day or night, Will was always willing to lend a hand, and he was just as willing to share his knowledge and teach others along the way.

Above all, Will was a wonderful father and grandfather. He leaves behind his daughter, Briana Hayes, and her husband, Jonathan, and his two beloved granddaughters, Brooklyn and Maya, who brought so much immeasurable love and joy into his life. 

Though he will be deeply missed, his memory will live on through the family who loved him, the stories they share, and the countless memories they will carry with them.

He will be forever loved and never forgotten. 

A private celebration of Will’s life will be held by the family at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Sebastian's Riding Associates Inc in Collegeville, Pa.
