My friend, mentor and one of the funniest people that didn’t get paid for it I have ever had the privilege of knowing in my life. He could give life to any sad situation. He entrusted me to teach his daughter in Sunday School at Holiday Hills Baptist Church for which I am grateful. He taught us to be tough and caring and tough at the same time a rare combination of life. Never ever complaining but always positive. Rest my brother and rest well. We will take care of what you love. God Bless This Family. Steve and Rose Thomas. 

The entire staff of Elliott-Hamil Funeral Home & Garden of Memories Cemetery would like to extend our sincere condolences to the family of Mr. Lowry. "We shall only pass this way but once"
