Robert Earl Lowey was born on January 25th, 1948 in Kankakee, IL. Being the youngest of 7 children did not afford Robert many privileges. One of our favorite stories being how his mother had to fill the bath with well water, warmed up on the stove in large pots, and how Robert always had to bathe last; he’d describe the water as ice cold and absolutely filthy. The grandkids laughed hard at his stories about how he didn’t have running water or a toilet growing up, and instead used an outhouse with a hole in the ground to use the restroom. When Robert was 18, he was drafted into the military where he served our country in the Vietnam war as an Army Ranger, and was a black beret Long Range Reconnaissance Ranger (LRRP). After serving for 2 years, Robert was wounded in-action and brought to the hospital one day before his entire squad was killed. He received a purple heart for his bravery, but never boasted or spoke much about this time in his life to us.

After the army, Robert travelled across the world on his motorcycle, making money doing odd jobs in Europe, Mexico, and South America. We heard countless stories of his adventures (many I can’t share here), that astounded us and made us laugh. He even served as caretaker at Paul McCartney’s ranch in Tucson, and had some wild times with him and his wife, Linda. Along his many travels, he met other famous celebrities, and had some wild stories to share about those encounters (Jimi Hendrix, John Denver, Hunter Thompson, Tom Waits, etc.)! To the core of his being, Robert was a free spirit. He was happiest outdoors, travelling a long, winding road on his motorcycle, with the wind whipping across his pulled back hair. During the last years of his life, he often talked about wanting to do one last trip on his motorcycle up the California coast, but his health just never allowed it. Needless to say, Robert’s life before meeting Sandra, his partner of 40 years, was a wild, chaotic time that most people only see in movie theaters, or read about in fictional books.

You’d think that with a life as full of excitement and adventure as he had, that nothing else Robert did for the rest of his life would compare to that time before Sandra (BS for short). She was the adventure he never saw coming, and, ready-or-not, she changed his life in more ways than he could have ever hoped for. After a whirlwind romance, and three kids later, Robert traded in ‘most’ of the chaotic adventures to become a father to his children, with family becoming his true passion in life. He showed his love by sharing his passions and his time with his children. Danica and Robert enjoyed long, early morning talks and gardening together. Marshall found his love of cooking through his father’s encouragement. Jessica learned the value of a hard-day’s work by spending long hours going up and down ladders alongside her dad at his ‘Alpha Signs and Awnings’ business. Robert, also, coached soccer teams and passed on his love for motorcycles to Danica, Marshall, and his grandson, Landon.

The grandkids were the sunshine in Robert’s life, and one of the things that kept him alive long past when most others would have given in. He did whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted. He spent hours watching K-pop music videos with his granddaughter, Jenna, learning all the members and songs of her favorite bands. When she was old enough, he made sure that she had her Starbuck’s drink, every morning, before she went to school. When Landon and Nathan would visit from Phoenix, he’d have warm Krispy Kreme doughnuts for breakfast, McDonald’s for lunch, and all the soda and chocolate a kid could ever want on the dining table. Landon ALWAYS considered his real home to be in Tucson with Papa and Nana San, despite the fact that he never actually lived there. Robert cared so deeply for his youngest grandson that he decided to get a tattoo on his arm to celebrate Nathan triumphing through 7 open heart surgeries. Robert wanted the kids to have all the joys that life could provide and held nothing back including his most precious gift; his time.

Robert loved Christmas. “Going all out” doesn’t adequately describe the amount of presents he gave each year. On Christmas morning, the floor, chairs, tables, and couches were so full of presents there was barely any room to sit or stand. Present opening started around 9AM and usually ended around 4 or 5 in the afternoon. The presents we cherished the most were the personal ones. Each year he would write a short, personal note on a little piece of paper and slip it to you during the day. A little message from him to you, just to tell you how much he loved you, and why you were uniquely special to him. These were the types of notes you read in private so you didn’t find yourself crying in front of everyone on Christmas morning.

You couldn’t have a holiday or weekend get-together with Robert without an absolute feast. On any given Sunday, with 10 of us over at the house, Robert would have no less than 10 giant T-bone steaks and burgers all cooked to perfection. For Halloween, his famous bean soup was always on the menu, and you couldn’t stop yourself from eating three bowls (cough, cough…Aaron). On Christmas and Thanksgiving, he’d cook enough food for 30 people. Guests to Aaron and Jessica’s wedding, 15 years ago, still talk about how delicious the filet mignon steaks that he cooked were. Thankfully, one year as a Christmas present for his kids, Robert spent months putting together all of his delicious meal recipes into a cookbook, along with a story about the origination of each recipe. This gift will ensure that his love of good food will continue to nourish us long after he’s gone.

Robert was truly selfless, always putting others before himself. He was a man constantly in motion, sleeping little, and waking at the wee hours of the morning. If you got up at 3am at the Lowey house to get some water, more times than not you’d find Robert in the kitchen, having a smoke, ready to have a little chat. He laughed freely and often, chuckling to himself as you discovered money tucked into your bag that you didn’t see him put there. On the flip side, Robert never paid full price for anything. He would sweet talk cashiers into a 10% discount for a poor, old, disabled veteran and then snicker as he walked out the door. Robert didn’t have a lot of close friends, but he had many acquaintances. He’d strike up conversations with random strangers, giving compliments to brighten their day. Those close to Robert knew deeply in their hearts how much he loved them.

Robert was a stubborn old goat and hated being taken care of. He lived with cancer, for which he acquired due to exposure to Agent Orange in Vietnam, for 17 years. While going through multiple rounds of chemo, radiation, and surgeries, he never once asked for help or (God-forbid) pity. He was a proud man who continued to walk, water his garden, run errands, and take care of his family until his final hours. Robert didn’t live a perfect life (none of us do), but especially during the last few decades of his life, he truly made up for any wrong he had done in his life through selfless focus on his family.

Robert went to begin his next big adventure on October 16th, 2021. Robert is survived by his partner of 40 years, Sandra Lowey, three children Jessica (Aaron), Danica (Dustin), and Marshall (April). He also had three grandchildren; Jenna (16), Landon (12), and Nathan (8).

There are only so many people you meet in life that truly want to see you succeed, and then cheer louder than everyone else when you do. Robert was that person. When you had good news, he was the first person you told because you knew how truly happy he would be for you. He gave such deep, heartfelt compliments to those he loved, and told each of us how proud he was of us whenever given a chance. Those rare qualities in a man are truly a profoundly sad thing for this world to lose. In the end, Robert gave us all he had to give. We believe, beyond a

doubt, that he’s watching over us now, cheering us on from heaven. We love you Poppa, and will miss you dearly until we meet again.
