Early this year, Rowden and Leizl decided to get married on July 8, 2014, Rowden's 30th birthday. Then a twist of fate, Rowden got diagnosed with stage IV liver cancer in late May. His last request was to marry his one true love. At the age of 29-years-old, passed away on June 11, 2014. Less than 10 hours after he said his vows.
