Robert W. Lowman

Robert W. Lowman of South Pasadena, FL, passed away on April 7, 2026.  He is survived by his daughters Mary Beth Lowman of New City, NY and Sarah Lowman (Nick Brandt) of Port Charlotte, FL, his son Brian Lowman (daughter-in-law Kristy) of Charlotte, NC, his grandchildren Alexis, Derek, Jacob, Katherine and Eddie, great-granddaughter Mila, sisters Penny D’Arinzo (Mark) and Karyn (Walt); brothers Clifford (Jo-Ann), and Kevin (Denise), brother-in-law Ronald Lugiano, and sisters-in-law Claralyn, Johanna, and Joanne; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, and cousins.

He was predeceased by his wife, Marguerite Poccia Lowman, parents Rosalie (Darling) and Horace, sister Deborah Lugiano, and brothers Douglas, Charles, George, John, James, David, Richard and Danny.

Robert served in the United States Marine Core.  A proud veteran, he carried the values of service and dedication with him always.  When he returned home after his honorable discharge, he met the love of his life, Marguerite, and they were married in 1971.

Robert and Marguerite eventually moved from Connecticut and made their home for more than 40 years with their children in New City, NY.

After retiring from a career in Defense Materials Planning and Procurement, Robert and Marguerite moved to South Pasadena, FL, which quickly became their second home. 

His grandchildren were his pride and joy, and as Pop-Pop, he was fortunate to have had special relationships with each of them. 

Robert will be remembered for many things.  He had a natural ability to light up a room with his humor and kindness. He cherished time spent visiting with family and friends.  Whether through a joke or a simple conversation, he made everyone feel welcome, special and at home in his presence. 

His legacy will live on through his children and grandchildren.

Visitation will be held Wednesday, April 15, from 4pm to 7pm at Sorensen Funeral Home, 3180 30th Ave N, St. Petersburg, FL. A Mass of Christian Burial is planned for Thursday, April 16, 1pm, Cathedral of St. Jude The Apostle Chapel, 5815 5th Ave N, St. Petersburg, FL 33710 with interment to follow at Calvary Catholic Cemetery in Clearwater, FL.
