Brent Lowery

Brent Iden Lowery, 68, of Frankfort, passed away Thursday, July 25, 2024, at Adena Regional Medical Center following a brief and courageous battle with pancreatic cancer.

Brent was born Tuesday August 9, 1955, at Ft. Dix, NJ, Army base to Robert A. and Patresea A. (Hall) Lowery, who preceded him in death.

On September 20, 1987, he married the former Mary Sykes, who survives.  Brent is also survived by his three children: Paul (Erin) Lowery and Bridget (Kayson) Lowery, all of Schenectady, NY; and A.J. Lowery, of Frankfort; 7 grandchildren; and his first great-grandchild expected in August.  He is also survived by his 3 sisters: Toni Adams, of Kingston, Jodi (Orval) Gatten, of Frankfort, and Cindi (Carl) Dearth, of Frankfort; a brother-in-law Robert Sykes; and numerous nieces and nephews.  In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his father-in-law James Sykes; and brother-in-law David Adams.

Brent was a 1973 graduate of Adena High School.  After graduation, he joined the US Navy, serving his tour of duty aboard the USS Forrestal, specializing in diesel mechanics.  He wore his Vietnam Veteran hat with the pride it deserved.

Brent's greatest employment accomplishment was receiving his nursing degree at the age of 41.  He spent his entire nursing career at the Floyd Simantel Clinic.  He loved the work, the clients and his co-workers.

In keeping with his wishes, cremation will take place.  There will be no calling hours.  Military graveside honors, conducted by the Ross Co. Veterans Honor Guard, will be held at 11am Friday, Aug 2, 2024 , in Greenlawn Cemetery Soldiers Square.

The family would like to thank Pastor Chuck Elliott, Lloyd Free, his co-workers, and countless others for their visits and care.  Please remember, the cancer did not win… it died with him.  In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made directly to the family to offset expenses.
