September 5, 1931 — January 31, 2014
Milton (Mick) Rowe, DDS, 82, beloved husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather, passed away Friday, January 31, 2014.
He leaves behind his best friend and loving wife of nearly 62 years, Lois (Jeanne) Rowe and his five children, David (Brock) Rowe, Carolyn Rowe, Christine (Mike) Kelly, Linda (Lee) Decker and Bradley (Jane) Rowe; seven grandchildren, Shannon, Jill, Scott, Diana, Laura, Jack and Megan; and two great grandchildren, Alexis and Mackenzy.
He is preceded in death by his parents, James David and Louise and his brother, James.
Mick was born in Kansas City, Missouri and lived most of his life in the Overland Park area. After marrying Jeanne in 1952, he served as a dentist in the Air Force for two years and then settled into his family dental practice for over 40 years on the Country Club Plaza. Mick retired in 1995 to enjoy life, family and to play golf. He was a competitive tournament golfer and very active in the local golf community, serving as President of the Kansas City Golf Association and a major supporter of amateur golf in the KC area. Mick was the first member of Wolf Creek Golf Club in Olathe and was the team dentist for the Kansas City Scouts hockey franchise.
Everyone who had the privilege of knowing Mick knew fun, laughter and love. He was always quick with a joke and never met a stranger. He was loved and admired throughout his life and will be greatly missed by those left behind.
A gathering of friends and family will be held from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. on Friday, February 7, 2014, at D.W. Newcomer's Sons – Johnson County Chapel, 11200 Metcalf Ave, Overland Park, KS, to share fond memories and celebrate his life.
