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).
