Rowley has been shown to have his own diary called Diary of an Awesome Friendly Kid where Rowley is the protagonist and Greg is the main antagonist. In Diary of an Awesome Friendly Kid: Rowley Jefferson's Journal, he has a very different appearance and it is unknown if they are the same person. In this book, Rowley explains that he called his grandfather "Bampy" because he could not say "Grandpa" when he was two. As he got older, he was not allowed to change what he called him, and as his grandfather got older, he only said "Bampy", suggesting he was struggling with insanity and had to be put down. A year later, Rowley described an experience that made him believe he encountered Bampy's ghost while staying at his old log cabin. In the film series, Fregley is portrayed by Grayson Russell in the first three installments, and by Christian Convery in the 2021 animated film.

She seldom appears afterward. Greg's interest in her is seemingly damaged by events such as this and he starts showing an interest in other girls, including Holly's older sister Heather.Cecil is Greg's adopted uncle who is only three or four years old.

Despite his idiotic behavior, Rowley always wishes the best for everyone, and is a very nice, thoughtful and innocent kid.

Rowley, Greg and Susan are screaming one another at the Gramma's Basement when she cames with her laundry. Joseph "Joe" Heffley is Frank's brother and Greg's uncle. Frank has a sibling rivalry with Joe due to his actions. When Manny started potty training, Uncle Joe told him to watch out for the "potty monster", causing him to fear using the bathroom, forcing Frank to change his diapers for a longer period. Joe's children call their uncle "Aunt Fwank", which Frank swears he told them to do on purpose. Susan thinks it is cute, though. In Dog Days, Greg mentions that he tried to make Joe convince Frank to get a dog, but that did not work out. He also mentions that Joe's dog, Killer, ate most of his birthday cake. Rowley is best known for being a good best friend to Greg. Rowley is quite immature and seems a bit naive, but his charming, cheerful and innocent nature made him more popular with other students (particularly the girls) than Greg had.

In Dog Days, he smashes " The Muddy Hand", which is really Gregory's hand. Terrence Heffley is Frank's second cousin and the eldest son of Charlie who is said to have looked like Greg when he was his age. Greg confirms this by looking in Gammie's photo album and strives to save money for plastic surgery.
