Our beloved son Wynton Morroy Rose passed away on March 13, 2022, under tragic circumstances in Pasadena California. Wynton, 29 years of age was born on May 18, 1992 to mother Judith C. Morroy and father Frederick A. Rose in Fairfax, Virginia. He was a lifelong resident of Fairfax and Arlington Counties until moving to California in September 2021. He graduated from Herndon High School in 2010 and then studied at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), Richmond, VA and at the University of Rennes in France.

Wynton was an outstanding athlete and sport enthusiast and a talented artist in the fields of music and fine arts. He played soccer from the age of six and at a high level on several youth travel-teams and high school varsity teams until he entered college. He was a very competitive youth swimmer in four different strokes, a naturally gifted tennis player, and an accomplished pianist and trumpet player. Wynton was a lover of several genres of music and even composed a few tracks himself. He was an ardent student of the Bible and would willingly  share his spiritual beliefs and faith with others from all walks of life. He was a gentle and kind soul and true lover of dogs and nature.

Wynton will be dearly missed by his mom and dad, aunts, uncles, cousins, other family and friends in Virginia, out-of-state and overseas.
