Alvin Eugene Lowe Jr., 72, of Pittsburg, KS, passed away on February 12, 2026, at Mercy Hospital in Pittsburg.

On June 12, 1978, Alvin was united in marriage to Nancy Cauthon in Miami, OK.

He was a proud grandfather and a faithful member of the Pittsburg Baptist Temple.

He is survived by his loving wife, Nancy, of the home; a daughter, Casey Stewart and her husband Cameron of Oswego, KS; a son, Nathan Lowe and his wife Danielle; and two brothers, Arthur and Marc Lowe; and two sisters, Marilyn VanKirk and Dianne Neal.
