Dr. John T. Lowe
John T. Lowe, D.D.S.
SHREVEPORT, LA - Dr. John T. Lowe, 86, died from complications of Alzheimer's disease on October 15, 2009.

Carl Rhoads. A reception will follow in the church parlor.
John was born in Minden, Louisiana on October 6, 1923 to Erma Fulbright and John T. Lowe, Sr., who passed away in 1929. Erma married Robert L. "Dugan" Brown in 1935. Dugan helped raise John, and Erma and Dugan would later become special grandparents to John's children.

Most of his patients were friends, and he will always be remembered as a gentle and caring dentist.

John is also survived by five grandchildren and their spouses: Elizabeth Davis and husband Jon; David Lowe and wife Tena; Michael Lowe and wife Nicole; Katherine McCrary and husband Kevin; and Anna Weber and husband Ryan.
