Sanita Jean Rouse

On October 19, 2024, we lost a ray of sunshine in our lives, Sanita Jean Rouse. A passionate lover of the great outdoors and a marketing guru, Sanita lived her 28 years to the fullest in Coon Lake Beach, Minnesota. Born to Gregory and Jennifer Rouse on September 30, 1996, she was a proud graduate of Forest Lake High School, Class of 2015 and later earned her bachelor's degree in marketing and communications from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls in 2019. Following graduation, she began her career at Fleet Farm as a marketing manager and most recently at Dennis Kirk.

You wouldn't find Sanita inside on a sunny day. She loved to travel. Her favorite place always and forever will be the ocean. She thrived on the thrill of motorcycles, snowmobiles, and UTVs. An avid hunter and fisher, she always stood out as the one to beat during hunting season. Her infectious love for life made her a beloved figure within the local motorcycle community, where she made lasting friendships and connections. Many of those friendships began while she was working at St. Paul Harley Davidson and as a member of the Goon Squad family. She later became the business manager of Lady Goon Squad Social Club, becoming a huge part of the MC community.

Sanita's boundless energy and love for the Minnesota Vikings were contagious. Her appreciation for the finer things in life and her "ray of sunshine" personality illuminated every room she entered.

She is preceded in death by her great grandparents, Mary McKenzie, Joseph Kubiszewski; grandfathers, Steven McKenzie and Gregory Rouse Sr.; uncles, Steven Kubiszewski, Arthur Kubiszewski, Otahl Saunders; aunt, Maria McLay; cousins, Holly Greeley and Brittany Kekedakis.
