Christian Franklin Rowe

Christian Franklin Rowe, 22, of Topeka, Kansas, passed away on December 7th, 2025.

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Christian Franklin Rowe, age 22, on December 7th, 2025. Christian was a bright light in the lives of all who knew him — a devoted son, loving brother, and generous friend.

Born on March 29th, 2003, in Hanford, California, Christian grew up with an adventurous spirit and a heart full of kindness. He had a passion for fashion, watches, trucks, music, and anything that brought people together to have fun. He had a magnetic personality and a tender heart.

He attended Osage City Elementary and Middle School, and Santa Fe Trail High School. He was an excellent wrestler, beginning at 7 years old. He wrestled for Osage City Kids Club and later at Santa Fe Trail High School, qualifying for State Wrestling three times and placing twice. He earned over 100 wins throughout his high school wrestling career and was on several national teams. After high school, he wrestled at Limestone University for a short period of time.

Outside of his passion for wrestling, he worked for Blue Duck Plumbing in Lawrence, KS, and later worked for Pat’s Plumbing in Topeka, KS. He enjoyed working on cars with his dad, shopping with his sisters, spending time with his friends and family, and eating anything with sugar.

Christian is survived by his parents, Rob and Rika Rowe, his sisters, Caitlin (Ryan) Buckalew and Hanami Rowe, and countless friends who will forever cherish his memory. A celebration of Christian’s life will be held on December 15, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at Fellowship Bible Church, 6800 SW 10th Avenue, Topeka, Kansas.
