Bryan Richard Lowe was born in Sarasota, Florida on June 30, 1988. He was the oldest child of three; with a brother, Joshua, and a sister, Kira. He was a very loving and affectionate person who was very dedicated to his family and friends. He will forever be remembered as a great big teddy bear!
From a very young age, Bryan exhibited his independence, a great example of this was his choosing his own movies (Rated R movies were his favorite long before he was old enough to view them - and any old Rated R movie was just fine!)
Bryan was everyone's friend, it did not matter whether the person was young or old, popular or outcast, wealthy or poor. And everyone knew Bryan. The pastor at the church who presided over his funeral commented that he had never seen so many teenagers in his congregation before (they were everywhere with standing room only!) and no matter who you spoke to, they all knew him personally! This serves as a testament to who Bryan was, a great friend! He had several best friends; his brother Joshua, his friends Kevin and Anton and his ex-girlfriend Kailea.
Bryan had a love of Boxing, and was a member of a local gym where he was training for boxing. From this love of boxing came his love of Sylvester Stallone's Rocky movies. He owned the entire set! And one of his most treasured mementos that everyone wanted to have were his boxing gloves (so many people that the sets had to be broken to provide everyone a glove!)
Hopefully, these notes will give those of you who did not have the pleasure to know Bryan a glimpse into the life of a what this wonderful Son, Grandson, Nephew, Brother, Cousin and Friend was like. And to those of us who had the benefit of having Bryan in our loves, the hope is to remind us all of how loved and loving Bryan truly was!
Bryan - you will live on forever in our hearts and memories and please keep sending us all your wonderful signs - we are always watching for them!
