ROCHESTER - Gregory Alan Lowe, 46, of 5249 N. CR 675E, Rochester, passed away at 3:05 a.m. June 18, 2010, in Indiana University Medical Center, Indianapolis.
He was born Aug. 30, 1963, in Noblesville, to Richard and Rosalie Greer Lowe. On Sept. 9, 1989, in Roann, he married Rosemary Reed, who survives.
With great pride he graduated from Tippecanoe Valley High School in 1982. Growing up on the family farm, he was an active Fulton County 4-H member for 10 years. One of his most memorable moments was in 1982, raising the grand champion barrows. As a junior leader, also in 1982, he was appointed Duke of the Fair. After high school he furthered his education by attending Manchester College. As a handyman, he could fix almost anything. His talents were recognized and appreciated by his family. His favorite book was the Bible. Many evenings he would relax in his favorite chair while reading scripture. Kira, his loyal and devoted canine companion, a Beagle, was always at his side. As an artist, he expressed himself through the medium of stained-glass. He enjoyed the challenges of working with lead while creating beautiful custom pieces for family and friends.
Those who loved and adored him are his treasured friends and colleagues at Zimmer, his faithful church family at Solid Rock Church and the many wonderful friends he made along life's journey to cherish his memory.
