Cullen D. Rownd
Cullen Douglas Rownd of Rochester, Minnesota passed away unexpectedly on June 30th, 2024.
Cullen was born on February 23rd, 2004, in Rochester, to the parents of Barbara Cullen-Rownd and Tim Rownd. Cullen was the third born of four children. He admired and deeply loved his big brother, Will. He and Ellen shared their own unique bond as well. And baby sister, Allison….. truth be told, the addition of Allison did take Cullen some getting used to! However, as you can imagine, they became the best of friends and Cullen was always her protector and shoulder to lean on. Cullen was adored by his siblings and was hands-down, the witty one! He would often keep the room lit with laughter by cracking a joke or by his constant antics! He loved to laugh and keep everyone on their toes with his humor.
From a very young age Cullen played hard and was always making his own kind of fun. He had such a creative mind! At the age of 2 he started with big Legos, small cars, and skating. He was mechanically inclined and had no problems “fixing” his own remote-control cars and building intricate Lego creations. He loved anything he could work on and never quit creating. Throughout his life, Cullen would always show off his creations to his parents and siblings. Every time Cullen presented us with something new, you could see his face light up with pride and pure joy! He loved being a goalie. He loved to fish. He loved his airsoft guns. And everything he did he enjoyed even more with his groups of friends! He was ALL boy and loved to be constantly on the move! This led him to his passion in life, real cars and motorcycles.
In more recent years, our family witnessed Cullen growing and revealing more of the love he had in his heart. It was such a beautiful thing to see! He showed kindness in so many ways to all who entered his world. He had such a big heart and cared deeply for the people around him. His friend group was so special to him and drew in close to him. He had an infectious personality and was enjoying his passions in life! He was growing into a great young man!
Cullen was only 20 years old, and his family and friends are devastated by the untimely loss. We take comfort knowing his strong faith in the Lord, has him celebrating in Heaven with his grandpa and cousin!
Cullen is survived by his Mom, Barbara and his Dad, Tim. His 3 siblings, Ellen (fiancé Brandon), Will and Allison and his niece, Emma Woodward. His grandparents, Alice Cullen, Doug and Priscilla Rownd; Aunts and Uncles; Carolyn (Jeff) Dorney, Patrick (Shari) Cullen, Peter Cullen and Michelle (Doug) Kvall. Cousins; Ryan, Lindsay and Megan Dorney, Emma Cullen, Amanada Cullen. He was preceded in death by his grandfather, Patrick Cullen and cousin, Owen Cullen.

My heart sank when I heard the news about Cullen. I can't begin to imagine the grief you must be experiencing.
You were just telling me a few weeks ago how proud you were of both of your boys and of the bright future that lay ahead of them.
Life is so precious and can sometimes be taken away so unfairly.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
May God and your loved ones give you some solace in this very difficult time.
God bless,

So sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine but I know how incredible of a young man he was just by the conversations we have had. Though I did now know him personally, I can tell he was just a bright light.
Sending you and your family all the love. Sincerest condolences.
Cullen was the glue that held our team together.
He always showed up to work with a positive attitude and determination to get the job done. He was very compassionate and had a great sense of humor.
I feel lucky to have had the chance to bring you on board, train + promote and work alongside you these past 2 years. You really had a way of reaching people's hearts just by being yourself.
On behalf of our entire team, we're thinking of Cullen's family and loved ones right now. May he rest in peace❤️

Dear Rownd Family,
I was very saddened to hear of Cullen’s accident. He was a beloved member of our ALC family and once a bullfrog, always a bullfrog!! I will keep Cullen in my prayers and hope he has lots of fun being creative in Heaven.

You are and always will be missed by all of us at work, son.
Maybe I bothered you too much by giving you advice and life lessons, but it was just the father and grandpa in me.
I will celebrate you like the great person you were. A great kid, always cheerful and making jokes.
Jimmy.
