Wyatt Lee Rowland was born on February 27, 2007, in Watertown, South Dakota, to Justin Rowland and Sarah Rheinbolt. He attended elementary and high school in Highmore at Highmore-Harrold School.
As a young boy, Wyatt was always active and involved in everything he could be. He played AAU football, wrestled for AAU, and worked on the farm with his dad and grandpa as often as possible. As a teen, he continued to play football, but gave up wrestling, choosing to work, instead, on the farm and ranch. It was around this time that he began to really enjoy tinkering with cars and pickups. He enjoyed hunting deer and pheasants, hanging out with friends, and working on projects with Grandpappy. He loved his dog, Jerry, and was not often seen without her in tow.
Wyatt worked one summer with his uncle, learning some construction work. After that, he began working for Matthew, Ken, and Wilbur Jones. He helped with calving and all aspects of farmwork. He loved running any farm equipment, except for Jones’s small grain cart and his dad’s double nine mowers. He recently started helping at Kimball Livestock Exchange on Tuesdays.
Wyatt is survived by his parents: Justin Rowland of Ree Heights and Sarah (Luke) Rheinbolt of Holabird; siblings: Chase Rowland of Sisseton, Ryder and Jackson Rowland of Ree Heights, and Avilee Rheinbolt of Holabird; grandparents; one great-grandfather; and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.
He was preceded in death by his uncle, Greg Nolz; cousins: Aubriella Nolz and Alex Pettit; and his other great grandparents.
Luze Funeral Home of Highmore has been entrusted with Wyatt's arrangements.

There is a song by Willie Nelson that I listen to a lot about losing someone you love. It helps me alot. The words are, "It's not something you get over, but it's something you get through".
Another song comes to mind. "When you walk through a storm, hold your head up high".
Our prayers and thoughts are with everyone, from Great Great Uncle Tom and family.
We are so saddened and broken hearted by the passing of Wyatt. He always was laughing and making jokes when he was around. My heart goes out to you all! Prayers continues for the future as we know how it is to lose a son/step son. May God be with you!

Kids – Trust God as your eternal Father.
Every life is precious. All souls deserve to be sung out of this world with love and tenderness as the sun sets on their presence. Heart-songs of mourning include gratitude for the good they did, the lives they touched, and the connections they shared. We are blessed to have had them in our lives when they are called home..
"What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch. We may not understand why they left this earth so soon, or why they left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that they lived. And that thier life gave us memories not to forget.
"I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die." John 11:25,26
May every sunrise hold more promise, every moon rise hold more peace. They say love beyond the world cannot be separated by it. Death cannot kill what never dies. I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make.
Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love. Wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts.
May you be comforted by the outpouring of love surrounding you.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this very difficult time. ✝️

My heart goes out to you for the loss of your son. I hope your happy memories will help you through this difficult time.
-Psalms 147:3
"He heals the brokenhearted, and binds up their wounds."
-Lamentations 3:32
"Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love."
