Christopher Lowman Obituary

Christopher Jon Lowman
07/15/1961 - 04/24/2024
Christopher Jon Lowman, a vibrant soul whose zest for life touched everyone around him, passed away from cancer on April 24, 2024, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.
Born with an unmatched level of curiosity and a passion for exploration, Chris embarked on countless adventures that took him to the far corners of the globe. He loved to travel with Sara, his wife and best friend, and daughters, Abby and Kate. Whether hiking up Mount Kilimanjaro, diving into the depths of the ocean in Hawaii, fishing in Canada with his dad, immersing in diverse cultures, or spending time on Lake Conroe, Chris embraced every experience with boundless enthusiasm and a contagious joy for life.
Beyond the thrill of travel, Chris was also deeply passionate about sports, specifically the Iowa State Cyclones and the Houston Astros. There was no place too far he wouldn't travel to tailgate. He also loved coaching his daughters' teams in every sport and season.
Chris's favorite role was being a father. His two daughters were the light of his life, and he loved every minute spent with them. He beamed with pride for all of their accomplishments, and he enjoyed nothing more than sharing a bottle of wine with all his girls at dinner.
Chris had a gift in his ability to connect with others. He built bridges across all age groups and he was the life of the party no matter the age of the crowd. His genuine warmth, kindness, and unwavering support touched the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing him. Chris had a way of making everyone feel valued and cherished, and his absence will be deeply felt by all who were fortunate enough to call him a friend. Chris was an inspiration to get out of your comfort zone and explore new places.
Chris was born in Ames, Iowa on July 15, 1961. He graduated from Marshalltown High School, Iowa State University (BA), The University of Iowa (MBA), and South Texas College of Law (JD). Chris was a trial attorney, focusing on commercial and business disputes. He was a recognized leader in the representation and protection of car, RV and boat manufacturers and dealers. He was proud to be the chair of the Unauthorized Practice of Law Committee for the State Bar of Texas.
He is survived by his wife Sara, daughters Abby and Kate, parents Susan and Jim Willeke and Jon and Jill Lowman, brother Robin Lowman, sisters Staci Romain (Byron) and Heather Burke (Kyle), his beloved pets Cleo (dog) and Lily (cat), sisters-in-law Kelly Labanowski (Larry) and Lisa Meyer (Fred), Eric, Maggie, Jane, Caroline, Paul, Clare, Charlotte, Blair and Cole (nieces and nephews), his mother-in-law Eileen Sudenga and countless close friends.
A celebration of Chris's life will be held in October (exact date and location to be determined).
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Pro-Vision, Inc. or the Gulf Coast Bird Observatory

I knew Chris from or Jr High days in Charles City, IA. Everything I read above rings true for the kid I knew. It sounds like he remained much the same throughout his life which is a very good thing. We laughed a lot and had a lot of fun together.
It was always fun to visit Jim and Susan's house in town and I think Chris enjoyed visiting our farm, as well.
We kept in touch for a while after he moved to Marshalltown, but eventually lost touch. He was a person will with knowing and he is missed.

Chris and I have worked together for approximately 15+years. He was very passionate about his work as well as his family. He would always go out of his way to help you. Not only was he a pleasure to work with, but he was also my friend. I looked at him as being my younger brother. We hit it off very good. I cherished every moment that we worked together trying to resolve a legal matter, and I'm very proud to have known him and call him my friend. Chris will be sadly missed.

The Lowman family moved next door to my Conroe Lake house over a decade ago. From the first day I met Chris I realized I possibly could have just met one of best friends. As it turned out I was correct.........the Lowman family is amazing and as we all know Chris is a one of a kind special person.
Loved by many and taken from us way too soon. When you hear LIFE isn't fair, well this holds true for our Chris. Chris did not deserve one day of sickness. Chris is an example to all of us how to live life the the fullest. The man was rarely in one spot for longer than a nano second. Always soaking life up and making others happy. To know Chris was to love Chris.
I will often hold a glass up and make a toast to Chris........... I believe with all my heart he would want that and will smile down upon us. Cheers Chris.....

I´m so sorry to hear of Mr. Lowman´s passing. He was always smiling when I would see him walking down to his office. May our Lord and Savior provide comfort and healing to the family.
