Rowan Fillpot

(From Parker Mortuary)

Rowan Tekiah Fillpot, beloved son of Scott “Scotty” Fillpot Jr. and Leana High.

He was born August 9th, 2023, and departed this world on October 12th, 2023. Rowan was a beautiful and perfect baby boy who filled his family with joy, purpose, and most of all love. 

Rowan enjoyed the color yellow, he had the biggest smile that lit up our world, and most assuredly he would have run before he could walk! He was loved beyond measure by his parents and all who knew him; Rowan will be eternally cherished and his memory kept safe in our hearts.

We take comfort in knowing that Rowan has been welcomed into Heaven by the loving arms of Jesus and his great grandparents Larry Morgan and John High, 2nd cousin Brantley Mitchell, great-great grandparents Maxine and Russell Morgan, John and Reatha Moser. Fred and Bessie High, Richard and Harriet Hite. Great-great-great grandparents Joseph and Lillie Morgan, Ralph and Maggie Fitzjohn, Herbert and Jewel Moser- Price, George and Fannie Howerton.
