In Loving Memory of Bryce Rowland Gone Too Soon, Forever Remembered
The city of Wichita is mourning the heartbreaking loss of Bryce Rowland, a beloved friend, son, and community member who tragically lost his life in a motorcycle accident on Friday evening in south Wichita. Bryce was just doing what he loved — riding freely beneath the open sky — when his life was cut short far too soon.
Born and raised in Kansas, Bryce was known for his warm heart, easygoing spirit, and unwavering kindness. He had a natural way of bringing people together, whether through his laughter, his stories, or his willingness to lend a helping hand. Those who knew him best describe him as someone who lived life to the fullest, never taking a single day for granted. His love for motorcycles wasn’t just about the ride — it was about the sense of peace and freedom it brought him.
Bryce’s passing has left an unfillable void in the hearts of his family, friends, and everyone who had the privilege of crossing his path. His loss is deeply felt not only by his loved ones but also by Wichita’s close-knit motorcycling community, where he was respected and admired for his passion, his skill, and his generosity of spirit.
On the evening of Friday, October 17, tragedy struck when Bryce’s motorcycle was struck by a sedan in the 4200 block of South Seneca. Despite the best efforts of first responders, Bryce passed away at the scene. Authorities have since confirmed that alcohol was a contributing factor in the crash, serving as a painful reminder of the devastating consequences of impaired driving.
As the investigation continues, those who loved Bryce are choosing to focus not on the tragedy that took him, but on the beautiful life he lived. He will be remembered for his bright smile, his adventurous heart, and the way he made everyone feel seen and valued.
His friends recall countless rides along Kansas backroads, where Bryce would often say that life was “too short to stay still.” He believed in living with purpose, in finding joy in small things, and in cherishing the people who mattered most.
Though he is gone from this world, Bryce’s spirit lives on in every memory shared, every road traveled, and every life he touched. His legacy will forever remind us to hold our loved ones close, to ride safely, and to live with gratitude and compassion.
Family and friends are encouraged to honor Bryce’s memory by cherishing life’s moments, spreading kindness, and never taking a single day for granted.
Rest peacefully, Bryce Rowland.
Your journey on Earth has ended, but your ride continues in the heavens above.
You will be deeply missed and forever loved. 🕊️💔
