  Mr. KENNEDY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life 
of Darrell Rowser, a man whose strength, dedication, and unwavering 
love for his family left a lasting impact on everyone who had the 
privilege of knowing him. Mr. Rowser's commitment to his work, faith, 
and most importantly, his family, defined the essence of his character.
  Born on September 14, 1958, in Buffalo, New York, to his late father 
Bertin Rowser, and his mother, Marlene Rowser, Mr. Rowser was the third 
of five children. He received his formal education through the Buffalo 
Public School system and graduated from Kensington High School in 1976. 
He then went on to receive his Associate's Degree at Medaille College.
  Mr. Rowser was a dedicated athlete, excelling in basketball, track, 
and Taekwondo. He won All-High championships in the 400-meter and 800-
meter races at Kensington High School and later continued playing 
basketball, winning championships with the North Buffalo Community 
Center league. After 30 years of training, he earned a Black Belt 2nd 
Dan in Taekwondo. Mr. Rowser also had a love for music, playing bass 
guitar with his brothers in a band, and filling his home with his 
favorite songs.
  After college, Mr. Rowser began his career at General Motors for 10 
years, later working at Ford Motor Company Stamping Plant where he 
retired in 2024 after 33 years. While at Ford, Mr. Rowser rose to the 
role of Team Leader, earning him a Six Sigma Lean Belt certification 
which represented his commitment to knowledge, efficiency, and 
excellence. Mr. Rowser was known to be fair but firm at work, and with 
his recognizable voice that commanded attention, he was greatly 
respected by his team.
  What truly defined Mr. Rowser was his deep love for his family. His 
greatest joy was spending time with his wife Jacqueline and their 
children Brandon and Brianna. Mr. and Mrs. Rowser shared a 37-year 
marriage built on love, faith, and cherished memories. He is survived 
by his wife and children, his mother Marlene Rowser, mother-in-law 
Violet Lewis, brother-in-law Darryl Prude, and many other loving family 
members and friends.
