IN LOVING MEMORY OF

Obituary

Bro. Burton "Sunny" Rowser, a native of Mobile, Alabama, born January 20, 1951 to the late Ceasar and Elouise Rowser, departed this life on Sunday, January 5, 2025, surrounded by family and friends.

He received his early education in the Trinity Gardens Lutheran School and graduated from the Trinity Gardens High School.  There and beyond high school, he excelled at all sports.  He was united in Holy Matrimony on March 28, 1997 to Brenda Rowser; this union lasted for 27 years, until "death parted them."

"Sunny" was a homebody and a kind, talkative gentleman who loved to fellowship with his family and friends, especially his Rowser Family of the Trinity Gardens Community. He enjoyed watching his huge movie collection with his wife, not to mention, watching his beloved Alabama University "Roll Tide."  "Sunny" was also well known for his long braided hair, which may have come from parts of a Native American lineage, being a sharp dresser, fishing and being the "grill master" of the neighborhood, which was evident on family gatherings, especially the Annual Trinity Gardens Community Mardi Gras Parade.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Ceasar and Elouise Rowser; two brothers: Ceasar Rowser, Jr. and Raymond Rowser and one sister, Mary York.

He leaves to cherish his memories a devoted wife, Brenda Rowser; a loving and devoted son, Brenton Rowser; four sisters: Sharon Mahorn, Yancina Johnson, Carolyn (George) Allen and Catherine (Malcolm) Franklin; four brothers: Levorn (Winonia) Rowser, Barry (Donnie Marie) Rowser, Thomas (Brenda) Baker and Ceasar (Chacaria) Rowser; four brothers-in-law: Gerald (Carolyn) Jones, Vernon (Patricia) Jones, Levet (Margie) Jones and Michael (Gloria) Jones; one sister-in-law, Helen Rowser; two devoted uncles: Earl (Lisa) Brown and Jack Yelder; two devoted aunts: Pearl Brown, Linda (Richard) Lang; one devoted, niece/daughter, Shawann (Jesse) Brackett; one devoted great nephew, Kasey Floyd and a host of grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, family and friends.

The visitation will be held at Reese Funeral Home on Saturday, January 18, 2025 from 9:00 AM until the 10:00 AM funeral hour. Interment will take place at the Browns Cemetery Sunflower Alabama.
