Cecil Frank Rouwalk
Cecil Frank Rouwalk, 65 years, of Las Vegas, Nevada, has passed away at his home in Nevada. He was born and raised in Hominy, Oklahoma.
Cecil was born in Hominy, Oklahoma on February 14, 1951 to Cecil and Gladys Belle (Shunkamolah) Rouwalk. He attended Hominy Public Schools and Oklahoma Military Academy (OMA), ultimately graduating from Hominy High School.

Cecil was a tribal member of the Pawnee Nation (Chaui Band) and the Osage Nation (Eagle Clan). Cecil participated in the "In-Lon-Sch-Ka" dances in the Hominy District beginning at a very young age. He had the honor of being selected as a tail dancer for the late Drum Keeper, Amos Shadlow, Jr.
Cecil played saxophone and clarinet and was in the band at Hominy High School and Oklahoma Military Academy. He was well known to make band trips very enjoyable with always laughing and smiling and all his jokes. Cecil also loved to dance, all kinds, from disco to jitterbug. He won dance contests and he appeared on "The Dance Party" show on KOTV-Tulsa, but what he really wanted was to appear on "American Bandstand."
