In the quiet town of Spanish Fork, Utah, a life was unexpectedly cut short on February 10, 2014, leaving a void in the hearts of those who knew him. Rowland Lynn Denison, a 50-year-old Caucasian male, passed away in what was determined to be a tragic and unforeseen accident.
Rowland, known to many as a man with a gruff exterior but a deeply loving heart, was a skilled machinist by trade.
His colleagues at Teleflex and later Klune Industries could attest to his unique ability to handle the temperamental machine he nicknamed the "Ma-hoe," a testament to his patience and expertise. Beyond his professional life, he was a man who found solace and joy in the great outdoors. Camping, fishing, and exploring the scenic areas near his home were among his favorite pastimes.
His love for his family was a cornerstone of his life. He is survived by his two children and was a proud grandfather. In the time leading up to his passing, his new baby granddaughter was a particular source of pride and joy, with photos of her frequently shared with anyone who would listen. He also maintained a close friendship with his ex-wife of 28 years.
The circumstances of his death were concluded to be the result of an accidental shooting. As the death was not considered a criminal event, there were no arrests made and no suspects sought by law enforcement. In accordance with his wishes, a formal funeral was not held, but a private viewing allowed close family and friends to say their final goodbyes to a man remembered for his hidden gooey center and his unwavering love for his family.
