Eric Todd Lowing, age 56, passed away on December 22, 2019 at St. Luke’s Hospital surrounded by his family.
Eric is survived by his long-term partner Nancy Poteet, his three children, Daniel Lowing, Craig Lowing, and James Greer. He also leaves behind his mother Diane Miller, his brothers Kurt Lowing, William Lowing and Crawford Miller, and sister Shawna Miller. He is lovingly known as “Pawpaw Darkness” by his grandchildren and will be forever missed.
Eric was a Veteran of the US Armed forces in both the Air Force and Army serving a total of 6 years and was honored as Airman of the Month. He grew up in Chicago, Illinois and joined the military after graduating high school. After leaving the military, he was dedicated to his job of 31 years at Express Scripts as a Director for multiple areas within IT. Outside of work, he is known for his commitment to the American Legion at Post 397 in Creve Coeur where he was the Commander for 2 years and Elks Lodge 2058 in Manchester where he has served in several positions including ER. He was initially known just as “that really nice guy Eric” until they got to know him better and thought of him as the glue and backbone that kept everyone together. He loved the St. Louis Cardinals and the Chicago Blackhawks and made sure you knew it. Above anything else, he was an amazing partner to Nancy and father to Dan, Craig, and James.
Memorial Visitation will be this Friday, December 27th at 4:00 pm at Collier’s Funeral Home Memorial Service 6:00 PM. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The American Heart Association for research.
