ALLEN LOWE Obituary

He was born in California to Otto Jr. and Patricia Lowe.

He graduated from Millburn High School and went on to receive his Bachelor of Science degree from Stanford University and his Masters from Cal Polytechnic State University and Seattle Pacific University.

His career was based on trying to make the world a better place. He worked for the Peace Corps, EPA and a couple alternative energy companies.

Eventually he found his calling as a teacher, working in Mount Vernon and La Conner School Districts.

He also made the world a better place with his kindness and his unique and wonderful sense of humor, making social gatherings, a crazy day and even math more fun.

Allen is survived by his loving wife, Andrea; son Christopher; daughter Odessa; his parents, Otto Jr. and Patricia Lowe; his brothers, Otto (Mary Louise) Lowe and Kevin (Pamela) Lowe; sister Tricia (Todd) Love; nieces, Caroline, Grace, Olivia, Wescott, Carter and Samantha.

Allen was so loved by so many, and touched the lives and hearts of family, friends and students. I remember his ready smile and good humor, I cannot believe he is gone. I send my deepest condolences to all his family, and most of all, to Andrea, Odessa and Christopher. I am thinking of you all today.

Allen was a great brother in law with many fine qualities. It was his sense of humor that first endeared Allen to me and continued to so through out the years. I will greatly miss hearing my sister laugh when they were together. He is so missed by all who knew him and my sympathies are with all who are grieving and missing him.

Allen will always be aces through and through. He was one of my funniest friends. I feel horrible for Andrea, Christopher and Odessa, as well as the rest of his family. Allen and I became quick friends, along with Nick Simon, when we all lived in the same apartment building in Atlanta. We loved discussing every subject under the sun, while laughing, listening to music, laughing and playing music. Allen always combined friendliness, intelligence, humor, ideas and thoughtfulness. I'll miss our phone conversations, visits, emails....Keep rockin' Allen!
