JOHN MACK LOWE, age 71, of Cabot, passed from this life on June 5, 2008, with his children's love surrounding him. He was born on September 23, 1936 in Gilbert, Louisiana. John was a very compassionate man with a sense of humor that always made you laugh. He struggled for the last 3 years after many strokes incapacitated him. The family is comforted knowing that he is in Heaven with our Lord Jesus Christ and his granddaughter Nikki. The family wishes to thank Dr. Mark Smith from North Metro in Jacksonville who treated their father with dignity and kindness. Dr. Smith is truly an angel sent to Earth to assist patients and families who are dealing with unbearable pain and loss. The family would also like to thank Lloyd in the ICU who was exceptionally kind and compassionate.

John is preceded in death by his father and mother, John Edward and Dollie Lowe; two brothers Glen and George, three sisters Jessie, Mercile, and Hazel; and his granddaughter Nikki. John is survived by 4 children; Dolly Upchurch and husband Ray of Texarkana, AR; Barbara Parsons and husband Craig of Cabot, AR; Jodene Langford of Texarkana, AR; John Joseph Lowe and his wife Connie of Vilonia, AR. He is also survived by two sisters: Gertrude Baker of Shreveport, LA and Helen Hanshaw of Odem, TX. John was survived by five grandchildren Johnny, Larry, Curtis, Scott, and Ashley; two great-grandchildren Pepper and Vivian.

Our dad is now at peace in a refuge free from pain and filled with Grace from God.

Services will be held at Apostolic Church in Gilbert, LA on Saturday, June 7, 2008 at 3:30.
