Chris Lowe
February 17, 1982 ~ August 25, 2016
Christopher Robert Lowe blessed this world with his presence on February 17, 1982. He transferred way before his time to Heaven on August 25, 2016 at the age of 34. Chris was preceded in death by his grandparents and by an uncle. He is survived by his mother and step-father, Leesa and Ricky Burgess; sisters, Jessicca and Jaime Ryan; one step-sister, Jordan Burgess; his aunt Nene and uncle Gary; a niece, nephews, cousins and an infinite number of friends. Chris had recently graduated from welding school and had previously worked as a welder in the construction industry. Chris loved bowling, fishing and anything outdoors. Chris' all-time favorite was disc golf. Chris was a friend to all, as he didn't know a stranger. He will be horribly missed. Memorial services are scheduled for 3:00 PM on Sunday, September 4, 2016 at Everyday Christian Fellowship, 950 N. Main St., Cibolo, TX 78108.

Dear Leesa, Ricky & family, I am so sorry to hear about Chris. I remember him as a sweet young boy-full of life from a long time ago when we all went to Tree of Life. He knew our precious Lauren whom we lost in 2010. Just know that you and your family will be in our thoughts & prayers in the months to come. I will be seeing you at CR so if you want to talk-I’ll be there for you!
So sorry for your loss…the loss of a brother or a son is unbearable. I will miss him dearly.
May God’sGrace comfort you at this incredible time in your life. Please find comfort in one another and may Chris’ passing make us all stop and be more Mindful and kind to one another. Such a tragic loss.
I wanted to express heartfelt condolences to Chris’s family. There’s such a sense of helplessness when a loved one dies. I’d like to share some scriptural thoughts that helps me. Prayer is so valuable at this time, but it’s not that prayer simply makes us feel better. 2 Cor. 4:7 says that God can give us, “…power beyond what is normal”, to go from one day to the next. This does not mean that we no longer cry or that we forget, but it means we recover. the reason we recover is because of our hope. Jesus Christ talked about our hope in John 5:28, “…all those in the memorial tomb will hear his voice and come out”. Jesus was referring to the resurrection; this is our hope that helps us recover and gives us power to go on. Meditating on this promise can deeply affect our emotions and give us peace. 2 Cor. 1:3 describes our Creator as, “…the God of all comfort”. One way that God comforts us is by moving people who care about us to give us words of encouragement that we need to hear. May God (Ps. 83:18) grant you peace and comfort now during this time of sorrow.
Dear Leesa, Ricky, Jessica, and Jaime, my heart grieves with you. I’m thankful for the fond memories of Chris as our kids grew up together; he was kind-hearted, goofy, and protective of those he loved. On behalf of Josiah, Julias, Miles, Maya, and myself we want you to know we love you and are praying for you. The thief came to steal, kill and destroy by viciously taking Chris’ life, but don’t let him destroy you.
Leesa and family.I’m truly sorry to hear about Chris.It’s hard to understand why he left this earth before you were able to say goodby. I’m praying that you will remember not just that he’s gone but that he lived.He lived and gave you memories to treasure forever.You and your family are in my prayers. May our mighty God wrap his loving arms around you in this time of need.
Jaime and Family – We are so, so sorry for your loss. One can never be prepared for something like this and our hearts are breaking for you all. May God bless you all and give you comfort. Love, Susie, Hannah, and Debbie Barnes

My deepest condolences to Chris’s family. Rest in peace sweetheart, help your family get through this pain after this tragedy. So many people loved you- so many people will miss you.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family and hundreds of friends at this time. His body may be at rest but his soul lives on forever thru you all. May the coming days be filled with those precious memories of your loved one and celebrate the life he lived. May God hold each of you close in his embrace when needed most.
Chris…. what a guy he was. He will be missed by so many family and friends…. and our prayers are with the family and all of the friends that Chris reached in his time here on earth. My family and I will forever remember him in our memories.

My condolences to Leesa, Ricky, Jessicca, Jamie and Jordan. Chris is/was and will always be a great son, brother, uncle, cousin and friend. You will be deeply missed by all who met you. Our hearts will never be the same. Still cant grasp that Chris is no longer with us physically, but i know that Chris is looking down from Heaven as he plays disc golf and watches everyone come together in his behalf to keep his memory alive. Miss you guy. I will forever hold you in my heart. May the Lord Jesus Christ hold his parents and siblings close in his hands and protect them. Lord hear our prayers In Jesus Name AMEN
I moved to New Braunfels at the age of 21 in 1997. Knowing I was eventually going to move to Comal County to eventually attend college at Southwest Texas State University, I started looking for churches as I vacationed in the area. Chris was the first person I met at Tree of Life Church and in New Braunfels. He showed himself friendly to me and was the one who introduced me to the Carpenter family who were and are my best friends in New Braunfels. It was hit and miss when it came to our fellowship with each other, but regardless of that fact, his outgoing personality made a huge impact in my life and shaped the friendships I currently have. My heart is heavy and is available if you need anything.
Leesa, Ricky, Jessicca, Jamie, and Jordan, and the rest of y’alls family. I can’t even imagine how bad y’all hurt, but please know, not a minute goes by that I don’t think of you guys and Chris. It hurts so bad. I’ve lost quite a few friends and truly have to say have never hurt like this. We all loved and adored Chris. May he rest in pits. May the Lord be with you all. God bless
I didn’t know Chris that well, only met him a few times at different metal shows and local metal shows, but my husband Billy was best friends with him in 3rd grade. He was always nice! A kool dude! Been seeing my Facebook newsfeed all week with videos and articles about his death, and it makes me sad and upset 🙁 it makes me feel better when I see all the pictures that people have been posting, that he was loved by them all! I’m sorry for y’alls loss and hope things get better.! We moved from new braunfels about a month ago, 4 hours away, but my husband is gonna try to go to the funeral on Sunday. I wish me and my daughter could go, but I gotta watch our 3 dogs 🙁 may you RIP Chris Lowe
I didn’t know Chris or your family, but want to extend my deepest sympathies to you all on his tragic & untimely death. May God comfort you during your time of sadness. My prayers are with you all. May he forever rest in peace in the arms of God.
Just want to send my deepest condolences to Jessica and the rest of the family. Even though we hadn’t seen eachother in years, whenever we did see eachother it was right where we left off. Chris was a really good friend of mine and I am going to miss him dearly. RIP Chris. \m/ Rock on with the Angels.
My deepest condolences to the family. May he rest in peace
Chris was a special person who we were blessed to know. He will be greatly missed. He left a beautiful footprint in our hearts. Thank you for raising such a beautiful young man ❤️
My condolences to Leesa, Jessica, Jaime and the rest of the family. I have been praying for you all. God Bless.
Leesa, Jessica, Jamie, and the rest of the family… my heart is so heavy and aching for all of you. Losing someone to senseless violence is the hardest cross to bear, especially when it happens to someone like Chris. I can honestly say he was a one of a kind guy- I’m honored to call him my friend and I am lucky to have known him and have him in my life, if only for the short time he was here. The pain will never go away, but will get a little easier with time. Just know Chris is always with us in spirit, watching over us and protecting us, the same way he did when he was here on earth. May God watch over all of you, and help to mend the broken pieces this tragedy has left behind.
…I’m sorry Chris. You were a good friend to me. You were the one person I thought about on a daily basis. You were a true friend and had the best heart. I will NEVER forget you bro!! NEVER! My mother passed away on the 6th of last month…and now you are gone. I’m sorry I wasn’t at your memorial…which was on my birthday. Best time I remember of you..was at the battle of the bands behind the skate shop. You came up to me after our set and asked me to sign your broken skateboard…lol..so cool bro. You were a one of a kind guy..and earth lost one of the best…but you are with Cleveland now! I love you Chris. Rest well!
Chris, your one of the best friends I could have ever known. You finally taught me disc golf! You were always there to hear and listen to whatever seemed to ail me. I know you helped however you could and I’ll take those memories. You’re deeply missed and will never forget you as you’ll be in my prayers always. Rest in peace my friend… Nice to know I’ll have an angel hanging around ever so often! LOL Here’s to remembering the best of times and memories!! — Your Buddy, Brian
My son, I will miss you more than words can describe and more than you will ever know. You were truly so special too me and all who truly knew you; and I still can’t believe that you have been taken from me. I so miss your laugh, your smile and most of all your hugs and our long talks. I will see you again one day but until that day comes, there will be a void in my life where you were meant to be. I love you so much.
I don’t have a lot to say that hasn’t been said already. But you were my friend. And the love of one of my best friends. You were a wonderful soul, and this shouldn’t have happened. I’m proud to have rocked out to life with you and until my resting place is found.. I will forever swing my hair for you. ♡ \m/
Chris, I love you so much and absolutely cannot believe your gone! Not a day has gone by that i have not cried, I miss you so much! Zayde loves you so much! He really does. Worshipped the ground you walk on! Moxyn looks at your pictures because they are everywhere and points. Brad loves you so much. Ive never seen him cry over someone and its so hard on us. Thank you for being the best brother and uncle to my kids. You truly were my best friend. I could actually by myself and you accepted me and at the same time would tell me when i was out of line. We never ever went without speaking. I love you so much brother! I know your waiting for me. Until that day comes ill carry your love in my heart. Love Always, your baby sister!!!
Chris, you always knew what to say during tough times… could really use you now… You could make me laugh when I didn’t feel like laughing, and I could make u roll your eyes and chuckle. I can’t remember when we became friends, seems like I have just known you forever. Through those years we had some really great times together with our group of people. Many late nights that turned into early mornings. Even just us going to the movies to see a scary movie and you thinking it would be funny to grab my waist to make me scream at the most random time and have everyone turn to look at me, I couldn’t sink low enough in the chair and you had a hard time catching your breath from laughing so hard, lol! You always made me feel safe and I knew you would be there if I ever needed you. I am so Blessed that I ran into not that long ago. That way I will always remember my last “Bear Hug” from you, you lifting me up and kissed me on my cheek. I am going to miss you so much, but I will carry every memory of you with me in my heart. Until we run into each other again! Love ya!
Not enough words to express the memory you will have here…a person that has inspired and shared great memories with friends and family will be missed till the end of time…i wish i couldve been apart of some of those memories…keep the party rockin’ brother
Chris as you watch over us from above.. Please watch over us who love you and miss you like crazy… Im gonna miss your hugs that smile of yours.. I remember the last time I saw you at heb if I knew then that was gonna be the last time I would have hanged on longer… Your in my heart always.
Your were always a friend to everyone. The world shines a little less without your smile and laughter.
I loved Chris since I first met him when we worked at Subway almost 20 years ago. I can see that smile in my mind as if it were yesterday. I will carry him with me always, I truly will. Love to all the family.
Chris, I am so honored that I got the opportunity to have called you my friend, as you had so many. I will always cherish and remember all the great times we had when we were younger. You will be forever missed. This world will never be the same without you bringing smiles to our faces.
Chris lit up so many lives. His energy was contagious. This world lost a good man. He will NEVER be forgotten. He is up there watching over us all.
You have brought light to so much darkness. I’m so happy that I was able to have time with you no matter how short. You are so deeply missed.
I’m gonna miss you Chris you were an amazing person and i will never forget you. #SUPERMAN #CHRISLOWE #THAT’S WHAT’S UP!
My big brother, my first best friend. I am still at a loss of words, I’m still so numb and hurt you were stolen from us. My heart will always ache for you and I can’t wait to hear that laugh and embrace your hugs again. I am going to miss you so much more then words can explain. We’ll forever love and remember you, Michael,James,Maria, Nico,colt
Chris my amazing cousin I love you and miss you so much I’m still sad but moving forward but there are still days I wake up feeling lost and empty cos you will never be here to make us laugh and you will never be there when me and cam argue to stop that argument and make everything okay you always made me laugh and smile even when I was feeling down… you understood me and the music I listened to and the clothes I wear but the thing I will always miss the most is the way you would constantly go after a jar of pickles every time you saw one…I love you Chris and we will see each other again when the time is right….until then I you will constantly be remembered, loved and missed… goodbye for now my amazing cousin.
Love you Chris. I’m my heart and on my mind always. The sun definitely shines less without you, your love and your laugh. I just keep thinking about the old days and how much fun we all used to have. We’all never get times like that again. You brought so many people together and the memories we all share will be treasured forever. Until Valhalla

My heart aches for Chris’ friends and family. I knew Chris almost 20 years ago and still remember his sweet soul and kind heart. I stumbled across this aweful news and just wanted to say something, anything about him. While I didn’t know him as well as most of you I just felt compelled to share how much he touched my life in the short time I knew him. Leesa, you had an amazingly beautiful, compassionate, caring son. It’s clear from all of the memories people have shared how much he blessed this world. I’m so incredibly sorry this happened to him and to you all.
Corey, lived with that girl. Why did he not get questioned?
