James William Rowland

February 19, 1961 - August 24, 2026

CENTRAL CITY – James William Rowland, 65, passed away on Monday, August 24, 2026. James was a lifelong resident of the Greenville area and a graduate of Greenville High School. He was a talented and highly skilled welder who took great pride in his work and the things he could create with his hands.

From an early age, James was raised in the family’s greenhouses and on the family farm, where he helped grow beautiful flowers, garden vegetables, and crops and helped raise cattle. The farm was more than simply a place to work – it was a part of who James was and a cherished part of his upbringing.

He is survived by his daughter, Lacy Elizabeth Rowland; and his sister, Bettye Faye Rowland Albin.

James was preceded in death by his parents, Algernon Wesley (A.W.) Rowland and Elizabeth Anderson Rowland; and his brother, Lee Rowland.

He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by his only daughter and all who knew him.

Jimmy was a first cousin (our dads were brothers). Growing up, I remember many fun times visiting at his house in Greenville. And, then it was always great to be together as cousins at our grandparents' house in Yelvington, KY for Christmas and Sunday afternoons in the summer. He will always have a special place in my heart.

We were neighbors on York Street. I have so many fond memories of the Rowland family from my childhood. Jim was always so nice to me and our family. Prayers to everyone in the family during this difficult time.

I grieve with you in Jimmy’s passing. I knew him in the very early 1970s when, as a high-schooler, I worked in the spring at Rowland greenhouses. So he was a similar age to my youngest grandson. The entire Roland family held and deserved the highest respect of the community. Though I moved away and lost contact, I’m certain Jimmy upheld that honor. May God’s spirit comfort you in these days and bless your days ahead.
