Ronald Wayne "Ron" Lowe
January 14, 1948 - August 13, 2009

Ron Lowe passed away on August 13, 2009, at Baylor Grapevine Hospital. He was 61 years old. He was a 1966 graduate of Richardson High School, and he received a bachelor's degree from the University of Arkansas in 1971. He resided in Grapevine, Texas, on his much-loved sailboat named Resurrected.

His memorial service will be held at 7 pm on Sunday, August 16 at Big Daddy's Cafe at the Scott's Landing marina on Lake Grapevine (directions here). Dress will be very casual. We'll be having a potluck dinner (Ron loved them!)--so bring a favorite dish or two to share. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Ron's memory to
