Rowlen White was born on August 21st, 1970, in Los Angeles, CA. He passed after a brief illness on August 4th, 2023, with his immediate family members by his side. He was the first-born son of Katherine and Kevin Reilly. He graduated from Santa Rita High School in Tucson, AZ where he made many lifelong friends. Rowlen lived in Tucson for most of his life prior to moving to Long Beach, CA for the past eight years.
As a young man, Rowlen enjoyed going to Phoenix, AZ with his family and friends to attend the Bugorama show and look for car parts for his Volkswagen Bug. He also loved to go to concerts to see one of his favorite bands, the Red-Hot Chili Peppers. He was an avid Rock music lover and was learning to play guitar and make music. While living in Long Beach, CA he really enjoyed being able to attend the Formula 1 races in person. It was one of his passions.
His life was filled with much love and constantly helping others. He was always there for his friends and was a good person to talk to if you were going through hard times. For the last few years, he worked at Honda USA near Long Beach, CA. His coworkers said that he was always a team player and if anyone needed help, he was always there for them.
Rowlen is survived by his mother Katherine Reilly, Father Kevin Reilly, brother Brandon Reilly, brother Alex Thompson, son Jared Schoolcraft, son Christopher Schoolcraft, and granddaughter Kira Christina Dasha Schoolcraft.
