Jackie lee Rowe was born on March 17th, 1960 in Tahlequah, OK, the son of Stanley Lee and Wynona (Hair) Rowe. He grew up with four sisters and one brother, Michael Rowe, MaDonna Ritchie, LaDonna Vann, Shirlene Proctor, and LaDonna Brown. There were also three step brothers, Rickey Kirk, Carl Kirk and Tony Kirk. He attended school and then decided to work as a Cherokee Nation Firefighter. He changed careers and began working the pipelines and also in the construction industry as a concrete finisher. When he wasn’t earning a living, he could be found in the great outdoors, fishing and hunting. He loved time spent on the river with his family, swimming and relaxing. He liked to work in the garden, watching his handiwork grow. He possessed a wonderful sense of humor and was a lot of fun to be around. If he couldn’t make you smile, it wasn’t going to happen. When the weather was inclement, he liked to join his friends at the casino, and spend the evening chatting and enjoying each others company. He liked people and enjoyed taking care of those he cared about. He liked the time spent as a firefighter with the Cherokee Nation. He was proud of his son, Jeremy Lee and enjoyed time spent with his family. He loved his family and enjoyed time spent at the dinner table, sharing a meal and a story or two. His health began to fail him, and he battled cancer. He passed from this life on October 29th, 2020 at the age of 60. He will be greatly missed.

He is preceded in death by his grandparents, Lucille and Zeke Hair, Maggie and Dick Rowe, and his Dad.
