A special beloved father and grandpa, Jody John Rowe passed away suddenly Nov. 23, 2022. Jody was at his home in Dalton Gardens, Idaho. Our family had been blessed with an early Thanksgiving celebration together, prior to his passing.

Jody was born at Sacred Heart hospital in Spokane, Wash., and graduated from Shadle Park High School. He continued on to receive his associates of arts from Centennial College, as well as his certificate for clerk typist. In addition; he received a degree in horticulture from Spokane Falls Community College. Jody studied with Dr. “T-Bear” from the Oregon Denturist College as well, whom he was very fond of. He furthered his education yearly and faithfully; attending educational courses to continue giving the most benevolent care in his profession.

Jody was a highly intelligent and talented man. He was a second-generation pioneer of the denturism profession and, after much education and experience, became a denturist and practiced in both Washington and Idaho for 40 years. He founded and operated “Triple ‘R’ Dentures Clinic & Lab” with great skill, love and pride. He served the local communities with his whole heart and passed on great compassion and knowledge to his daughters. Jody has been a founding and active member of the Idaho Denturist Association, the Washington Denturist Association and the National Denturist Associations; respectively.

Jody was a devout Catholic, a faithful servant to the Lord and an honorable man. He always carried himself with great integrity. Jody was gracious and generous and would never shortchange anyone; he joyfully served his community and family daily with no complaints or expectations. He was so care-free, funny and witty! All who interacted with him would learn something new as he was a wealth of interesting information and could answer any question or converse on any subject. Jody was loved so, so deeply and will be woefully missed.

Jody is survived by his daughters, Reva Larae Rowe and Amanda Jodi Rowe Bronson, his grandchildren Jameson Rowe Garnett, Cashlan Larae Michael and Coeura Ray Bronson.
