Obituary for Michael C "Mike" Lowre
Michael C. Lowre passed away on Tuesday, March 23, 2021, after a brief battle with an aggressive form of gastric cancer. He was 47. Prior to his departure to eternal life in heaven, Michael was surrounded by his devoted loving wife and his three beautiful children, mother and siblings.
Michael grew up in Roslindale and lived in Walpole for the last 20 years. Michael was a devoted husband to his high school sweetheart Julie (Downing) Lowre, of West Roxbury. They married in May of 2000, and have been by each other’s side for over 30 years. Michael was not only a loving husband but he was a devoted loving father to his three children Bradyn (16), Ryan (13) and his beautiful daughter Madelyn (7). Michael’s own battle against cancer started just 14 months after his daughter Madelyn was diagnosed with Leukemia. Both Father and Daughter were valiant cancer warriors, but for reasons we will never understand only one would survive.
Michael attended Catholic Memorial High School (class of ’92) where he made life-long friends, and then attended Northeastern University where he studied Business. Michael was a highly successful VP of Sales in the consumer goods industry. He traveled extensively and enjoyed meeting and working with his colleagues and made great friends and contacts all across the country. Mike and Julie’s love of golf and Disney would lead to impromptu trips to Florida several times a year. Michael taught his boys how to golf, fish and to live life to the fullest. They learned how to be respectful, kind, caring and compassionate gentleman. All three children shared the same love for Disney World that their father had and it became their happy place. The most important lessons Michael “taught” to his children was by way of his fine example. Michael was the most mild-mannered humble person with a love for life and although he was a man of few words, when he spoke he could draw in listeners for hours even with his doses of sarcasm! Mike was wise beyond his years and knew what was most important-and it was his family. His legacy of kindness, compassion, and his love of life will live on through his children forever.
In addition to Julie, Bradyn, Ryan and Madelyn, Michael is survived by his mother, Nancy (Fahey) Lowre of Roslindale, as well as his sister Susan Galante and her husband Robert, of Hyde Park, brothers David and Kevin Lowre of Roslindale. Michael was predeceased by his father David Lowre. Michael was also survived by several nieces and nephews. Although Michael was their“ son-in-law” to Jesse and Eileen Downing of West Roxbury they loved and adored him like a son. This loss is beyond devastating for all who knew Michael and there isn’t enough time in the world to heal the deep wounds that will forever be left behind.
The family will be there to welcome friends and relatives to share their memories during visiting hours at the Roberts Mitchell Caruso Funeral Home, 15 Miller Street, Medfield, on Monday March 29, 2021 4-8. Funeral Services will be held at Blessed Sacrament Church, 10 Diamond Street, Walpole on Tuesday, March 30, 2021 at 11:00, interment to follow at St. Francis Cemetery in Walpole.
