Jack Efrid Lowder

Jack Efird Lowder, 81 years old, passed away peacefully at the home he built in Elk Park on Friday, June 23, 2023. He was surrounded by his family who loved and supported him.

He was born on September 4, 1941, in Caretta, West Virginia. He was the firstborn of a set of twins to the late Cull and Martha (Taylor) Lowder. Jack grew up in Albemarle, NC along with his twin sister Joyce Ann and younger brother Hal Lowder. As a young man, he enjoyed being with friends and driving anything with wheels.

Jack was always known for working hard. Among his many professions were military police for the U.S. Army, truck driver, house parent for Grandfather Home for Children and Crossnore Communities for Children, registered nurse, and maintenance man for the Mtn. View Baptist Church. However, he ended his working career as a farm manager on his son's farm, a job he relished.

Having loved well throughout his life, he will be greatly missed by his surviving family including his children, Richard Damon (Jana), Hal Justin (Cassi), and Joyce Faith (Steve); his brother, Hal Edward (Pat); twin sister, Joyce Ann; eight grandchildren, Jessica, Jacob, Stephanie, Adelyn, Sylas, Emerson Jack, Aliza, and Annabelle; and his previous wife of over 40 years, Deborah.

The family invites all of Jack's friends to come and celebrate his life with them on Sunday, July 9, 2023, at Elk Park Christian Church starting at 3:00 P.M.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in his name to Elk Park Christian Church.
