Roy loved cars, talking to people, watching TV, and most of all, his family. Roy never met a stranger and loved visiting his friends and spending precious time with his family.

He was preceded in death by his parents; siblings, Ruben Lowrey, Wesley Lowrey and David Lowrey; half siblings, Nolan Lowrey, Dean Lowrey, and Juanita Pfiffer.

He is survived by his wife, Peggy; sons, Keith Lowrey (Pam), and Brent Lowrey (Amy); 11 grandchildren, 5 great grandchildren (and one-on-the-way); brothers, Robert Lowrey and Mike Lowrey; and sisters, Linda Cotton and Donna Cotton.

The family would like to acknowledge their sincere gratitude to family members, Ridgecrest Nursing Home, Halcyon Home Hospice, and Lake Shore Funeral Home for the compassionate care and love provided to Roy and family.

In lieu of flowers, please spend time with those you love, take some photos, make the memories and soak up as much love as you can.

  11. My deepest condolences on your loss. Knowing Roy for more than three decades, and having many opportunities over that time to visit with him as we worked on projects, I can easily say that he was a “PRO” in every sense of the word. In my early years of work, he taught me many “tricks of the trade” that I still use today. But more than all that, it’s his kindness, warmth, and sincerity that I will always remember! May your memories bring comfort to you now and in the years to come.

    Sincerely,
    John Schwartz

  12. Peggy, I sent you a message of condolences earlier, but I’m not sure it went through. I wanted you to know how much being friends with you and Roy meant to Jim and me. You were truly a match made in Heaven. I pray that the pain you feel today will lessen as time goes on, but I know it will never truly go away. Please know my family and I love you very much and treasure having had you and Roy in our lives.
    I am living in Oklahoma with Kathie now, so could not attend the service, but my thoughts and love are with you daily……Jan Derrickson and family
