David Joe (Dave) Lowe Sr. passed peacefully in his home in Ash Fork,
Arizona, on January 25, 2018.

Born in Terre Haute, Indiana, on October 13, 1944, he showed everyone
at a young age he was a hard worker. At four years old, he drove a
tractor for a neighbor farmer that paid him a dollar a week. A story
Dave was very proud of. His family moved to California when he was
nine. He later graduated from South Gate High School, where he met the
love of his life, Gayle.

The Lowe’s spent many family vacations at the river in Parker with
their friends from the “Aristocrats” Car Club. In September of ’72,
Dave and Gayle moved their family to Windmill Resort and made Parker
their home. In 2003, they retired to Northern Arizona.

Dave was very active in the Parker community and wore many hats. He
coached little league, Captain of the mounted Sheriff Posse twice,
hunter, camper, and of course the Coors Man and owner of State Line
Tire. He was a member of the Elks Lodge, Chamber of Commerce and
Rotary Club. He started the first vocational scholarship of Parker. He
was also known to get political; he helped La Paz County break away
from Northern Yuma County (making Arizona history) and he was involved
in several election campaigns.

Dave was a loving husband, father and grandfather. He was a cherished
and respected friend to so many. He definitely made an impression and
will be greatly missed. Dave was preceded in death by his son David
Jr. He is survived by wife of over 52 years, Gayle; his son Darrin
(Donna) Lowe of Tempe, Arizona; his daughter Dennette Lowe of Atwood,
Oklahoma and his three grandchildren. His Celebration of Life will be
held in Parker at the Elks Lodge on Saturday, March 31, 2018.
