Shequille N. Lowe

1994 - 2022

Shequille Navon "Shaq" Lowe, 28, of Arnold, passed away Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 24, 2022. His mother, Shari Hutzell-Young, says, "My son was nothing short of a blessing. He has struggled most of his life with Juvenile (Type 1) Diabetes, but never once would I imagine this day. Ironically this was his favorite holiday. Anyone that knows my son knows he loved to eat, especially on Thanksgiving. He was born on a holiday, St. Patrick's Day, and trust me, he was as feisty as a leprechaun but he was my pot of gold. I will forever be broken and will never let your memories fade away. May you be at peace now, you deserve this time of rest. I LOVE YOU SHEQUILLE LOWE." He was born March 17, 1994, in New Kensington, to Michael Lowe and Shari Lyn Hutzell. He is survived by his siblings, Kayla Warren, Matthew Young, Nathan Hutzell, Hope Young, Francis Young Jr., Kahlil Stevens and Darae' Young; nieces and nephew, Abi, Crystal, Nova, Azariah and Francis III; his stepfather, Frank J.
