Derek Lowry Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jul. 18, 2025.
Derek Ross Lowry, 53, of Lovettsville, Virginia left his earthly home peacefully on June 17, 2025, with his family by his side. He is now with his Lord Jesus Christ whom he loved with all his heart and soul.

Derek was born July 22, 1971, in Leesburg, Virginia. The beloved son of William Luther Lowry and Marcia Lowe Lowry, Derek was preceded in death by his father, William. He will be forever lovingly remembered and deeply missed by his mother, Marcia; brother, William Brett Lowry (Nancy); sisters Amy Lowry Griffin (Bill Cahill) and Erin Lowry Brosius (Michael). He also will be remembered by his much-loved niece, three nephews, one great nephew, numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and a number of dear friends.

P.S. Indelible in my heart is the sight of my funny little boy with the brightest blue eyes, freckled nose and husky voice, mischievous grin, infectious laugh, easy laid-back way and ability to always make us laugh. You are, and forever will be, a bright spirit impossible to dim.

My love always, Mom

A private burial will be held at Lovettsville Union Cemetery. Arrangements by Hall Funeral Home , Purcellville , Virginia.
