AlistairROWARTHAlistair "Big Al" Rowarth May 24, 1969 - January 4, 2024
Alistair Rowarth, beloved son of the late Brian Rowarth and Maureen Beany, passed away at the age of 54. He was the devoted father of Calum, Cain, and Coco (14); life-partner of Hollie and an important figure in the lives of her children, Evangeline, Hayden, and Fraser.
He was also the brother of Belinda, Nick and Hayley; step-brother to Neil; and uncle to Celine, Elise, Alex and Rocco. Cherished nephew to Brenda, cousin to Dawn, Glenn and Hayley and a dear friend to too many to mention.
Alistair passed away suddenly from a previously undiagnosed condition during a Pegasus flight from Turkey to the UK, leaving his family and friends in deep mourning.
Born on May 24, 1969, in Wollaton, Nottingham, Alistair was very well-liked at school and had a joyful childhood. Known for his practical jokes, he kept his beautiful and always glamorous mother, Maureen and his father, Big Brian, constantly entertained and they couldn't have loved him more.
Big Al was known for his grand stature, larger-than-life personality and kind heart. Alistair's vibrant presence and infectious zest for life left an indelible impression on everyone he met. His kindness, generosity and unwavering loyalty made him a pillar of strength for many. Alistair was proud of his ten years of sobriety, crediting AA and his sponsor Bill and he, in turn, sponsored many others.
A successful businessman, Alistair owned Liberty Gym, Bodycraft, and Raw Motors in Nottingham. He inherited his father Brian's business acumen and sense of humour, even memorializing his dad with a tattoo. Alistair had a passion for motorbikes and adventure and his enthusiasm was boundless.
He was a devoted father, encouraging a strong bond among his wonderful, kind-hearted children, handsome Calum and Cain and the lovely Coco - the apples of his eye; whose resilience is a testament to his legacy.
Alistair found deep love with Hollie, his life partner, who was with him when he passed. Their travels and shared adventures were filled with joy and laughter, epitomized by Alistair's practical jokes.
A memorial service celebrating his life in February was standing room only, a testament to the many lives he touched. Necia and Jodie, the mothers of his children were present; still holding him in high regard - a testament to his kind heart. Alistair's spirit will live on through the countless people he inspired with his warmth, kindness, and joy.
May he rest in peace, knowing he was deeply loved and will be fondly remembered by all who knew him. "Alistair- your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure, you are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure."
