Thomas Andrew Lowe

Thomas Andrew Lowe, 30, of Berkshire, passed away suddenly on January 29, 2025, leaving a legacy of joy, perseverance, and a loving spirit that touched everyone he knew. Despite the challenges brought on by cerebral palsy, Thomas faced life with a smile and infectious personality, that inspired all who were fortunate enough to cross his path.

Thomas leaves behind a loving family, including his mother and step-father Kari and Dickie Weston, his father and step-mother Richard and Martina Lowe, and a loving ‘bonus dad’ Isaac Hartman, who held a special place in Thomas’s heart. He also leaves behind his siblings Kaitlyn Alexander (Dylan), Laura Cranmer (Anthony), Chloe Cranmer, Harper Weston, his step-siblings Maddy, Milee, and Aiden Craft, and niece Abigail Hewett.

He was blessed with a large, supportive family. He was the treasured grandson of John and Terrie Breese, Willie Grannis, Donna and Jerry Weston, and shared an unbreakable bond with his grandmother Debbie Breese. His aunts and uncles, George and Peggy Barber, Sharon and Bob Waterman, Flora and Gene Coolbaugh, Penny and Bob Zimmer, Scott and Betsy Breese, Stacie Breese (Garrett), Wendy and Brett Kobylarz, Hilde and Ed Abruzzo, Julie and Bob Cary, Tina and Rich Gourley, and his cousins Shea, Fiora, Gwen Breese, Colton and Caiden Phillips, Averie Bowen, and Emily (Zach) Tyson, along with Haley Short (Mike Post), all held a special place in his heart.

Thomas was reunited with his grandfather Thomas Grannis, who he was named after.

From a young age, Thomas demonstrated an extraordinary drive to see beyond his struggles, focusing instead on the love he had for his family, friends, and the simple pleasures of life. His ability to remain genuinely happy, even in the face of adversity, was a testament to his strength and character. Thomas was a beacon of light to those who had the pleasure of knowing him.

Known affectionately as a jokester, Thomas had a unique talent for picking on people in the most endearing way, bringing laughter and a sense of lightness to any room he entered. His humor was one of the many ways he expressed his love and connected with others, making every interaction with him a memorable and joyful experience.

Thomas's passion for television game shows, particularly "Deal or No Deal," was more than just a pastime; it was a reflection of his larger-than-life personality. He could often be found sharing his room with his family as they watched all types of game shows together, creating lasting memories.

A very social person, Thomas loved being surrounded by others. His kind and loving nature was evident in every interaction, and his kindness extended far beyond his immediate circle.
