Rowdy Lee Orlando Harvey was born on March 22, 1995 in Canton, South Dakota. He entered into rest on October 3, 2021.

Rowdy attended McCrossen Boys Ranch in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. He graduated in 2014.  He then attended Southeast Technical College in Sioux Falls, South Dakota studying HVAC. Rowdy was employed at Elite Heating and Cooling located in Wahpeton, North Dakota.

Rowdy was blessed with three children whom he adored; Abigail (5), Tuff (4), and Mattie Mae (would be 19 months). His children were the loves of his life.  His girls are his princesses and Tuff is his mini me. Rowdy constantly showered them with hugs and kisses. He was so proud of his children and loved all of the artwork they would bring him from school.

Rowdy had planned to start his own restoration/fabrication business that was to be named in honor of his daughter, Mattie Mae. He was always searching to enhance his knowledge about everything. He was constantly researching to learn new things. Rowdy was well known for his dad jokes and antagonizing his sisters. His goal each day was to make everyone smile. Rowdy will always be remembered as an amazing father, son, grandson, nephew, and cousin. His beautiful smile and dimples will live on forever in the memories of everyone who knew him.
