Obituary
Michael (Mikey) Lavelle Lowe affectionately known as “First Born” by all his family members, was born July 10, 1955 to Petra and Lavelle Lowe in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
He gave his life to Christ at an early age, attending Prince of Peace Lutheran Church. Michael was a product of Tulsa Public Schools, attending Bunche and Woods Elementary School, Marion Anderson Junior High and graduating with the almighty class of 1973 from Booker T. Washington High School. He continued his education at the University of Oklahoma, majoring in education.

Michael then decided to become a school teacher to help the young people in Tulsa. He was employed by Tulsa Public Schools at Celia Clinton Elementary School for approximately thirty years, teaching 2nd and 3rd grade math and science. Mike’s classes consistently maintained the highest test scores at the school, earning him a trip to Boston to study improvements that could made in the classrooms. Mike was a dedicated teacher, a stern task maker, and a tutored children after school at the Prince of Peace Lutheran Church until his health started to decline.
Michael gave anyone and everyone his time, money and services. He was very well known and loved by all. Mike also did taxes when he graduated college until his health declined.

Are we not grateful to Jesus that through his shed blood we can have our loved ones restored to us on this earth. He promised a man that he would be with him in paradise. In order to fulfill that promise he would have to come back to life . That gives us a great hope for those we have lost in death. Luke 23:43.

TO THE FAMILY OF MICHAEL LOWE: Matthew 5:4 – Blessed are they that mourn; for they shall be comforted. Michael will definitely be missed. I could always depend on him to give me the updates on just about everyone. We shared the same birth month and year with him being 5 days older. He was also proud to be a Hornet (BTW). Michael was also a cousin to my nephew (Quarter-Pounder). My husband and I send our condolences to the family during this difficult time. You're in our prayers as well. Love, David & Brenda (Shaw) Morris (Shake-A-Pudd'n) Class of '73

Couldn't believe it when I received the news. You and mom worked together at TriCeta forming a bond. You were received by our Heavenly Father on the same day and were celebrated on the same day. How precious is that? May you rest in peace, my friend. You will be missed by the Classes of 1973. Much love to you, my friend. May God strengthen your family.
