DEREK LOWRY Obituary
Atty. Derek J. Lowry, 49, of Boardman, formerly of North Canton, passed away Thursday morning, February 18, 2021 at his parent's home, surrounded by family. Derek was born November 10, 1971 in Youngstown, the son of Richard and Eudora "Dodie" (Humphrey) Lowry. A 1990 graduate of Boardman High School, Derek earned his Bachelor's Degree in Accounting from Kent State University in 1995 and later graduated from the University of Akron School of Law in 1998. For two years, Derek worked as an attorney for the Canton City Prosecutor's Office. A founding partner of the law firm Crawford, Lowry, and Associates, Derek represented families in need for over 18 years before the onset of his illness. Derek was a member of both the Ohio State Bar Association and Stark County Bar Association as well as the Canton Chapter of the Cleveland Browns Backers Association. He was an avid fan of the Cleveland Browns and the Ohio State Buckeyes. A devoted son, father, brother, and uncle, Derek enjoyed spending time with his family and friends.

Lowry and Sean Martin Lowry, and his former wife and mother of his children, Jennifer Lowry, all from North Canton; brother, Dennis (Robin) Lowry; and sister, Deveni Lowry, both of Boardman; four nephews, Brandon Lowry, Deven Lowry, Drake Lowry, and Ethan Andersen; and three nieces, Sophia Lowry, Gwen Lowry, and Kiley Andersen.

The Lowry Family:
Derek was wonderful to work with, A lot of years he spent with us, and I will never forget all the families he has helped through our court system, Stark County Family Court. Treasure your memories that you made with him, and that will help provide peace in such a time as this. I pray that his children will follow their dreams and know, that he is amongst the great cloud of witnesses. Now may the very peace of God rest rule an abide hence now and forever...Blessings!!!
