Obituary
Rowan Nicholas McFaye, beloved son, brother, grandson, nephew, stepson, friend, and animal lover, left us too soon on March 12th, the day after his 27th birthday. He will be missed beyond measure by Erin, Sam, Jack, Sissy, Gigi, Pop, Grandfather, Eleni,, Forrest, David, Will, DeAnna, Welby, Kate, and many, many others in the furry and gaming communities. Ro was an alumni of Vanguard Preparatory in Dallas, TX. Class of 2015. He was very proud of his contributions to the game Rain World: Downpour, and was looking forward to being part of many more creative endeavors in the future. We take comfort knowing his ever youthful spirit will live on and influence others who will include his essence in their creations. He died peacefully in his sleep of natural causes, which most of us can only hope for, but it was far too soon, and the hole in our hearts will never fully heal; and that’s okay, because having him in our lives was such a precious privilege. His intellect, humor, and wisdom will always grace the hearts and guide the minds of those that will always love him.

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"

So very sorry. He was loved and will be terribly missed. Sending prayers of comfort for the family.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen him but I remember his contagious smile and how smart he was! So sorry for your loss. ❤️
I do remember the phone conversation when Rowan was 4 or 5 where he educated me in the field of robotics and the wonderful “thank you” ‘ notes filled with his wittiness. Rowan will always live on in our hearts . We send our love to all of his family and dear friends.
I’m so sorry for the loss of Rowan. He was such a sweet soul. Thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Jennie
So sorry for your immense loss.
Sending love and prayers,
Sharon and Ken
I taught Rowan in middle school and remember him with much love. I enjoyed his contributions to class discussions as well as his sense of humor. I have great memories of him, and his mom. I wish peace to all of his family.
I didn’t know Rowan well but I know his family members and I know how loved he was by all of them. I pray for peace and healing for them in the months and years to come that only God can provide. Love from Sarah, Nathan, Daniel and Aaron
