Charles "Chuck" Lowe, Jr., 53, passed away on
Friday, July 25, 2008, after a tragic accident. He was born on March
2, 1955, in Leominster. He and his wife Vickie relocated to Oxnard
in 1979. Chuck was a longtime resident of Nyeland Acres. He always
had a smile on his face and was friendly to everyone. We all knew
Chuck was around when we heard his big white mechanic truck coming
down the street. He was a master mechanic and never hesitated to
help with good advice, lending a tool or helping by fixing it
himself. Chuck was also very instrumental in the relocation and
rebuilding of Garden Acres Mutual Water Company. He was a strong
advocate for improving conditions in Nyeland Acres, from street
lights to street sweeping. Chuck was always there for his community.
When the big Santa Claus from Santa Barbara
needed a new home, Chuck thought it was a great idea to move him to
Nyeland Acres on the water company property. Chuck helped with the
design and building of our little "Santa Park." Every year the
community has a toy giveaway to the children of Nyeland Acres at
Santa Park. Chuck was always there with his Santa hat handling out
toys to the kids. Nyeland Acres is a better place because of Chuck
and he will be sorely missed by all the residents.
He is survived by his wife, Vickie, daughter,
Ashlie, and son, Charles III, all of Oxnard. He is also survived by
his parents, Charles and Alice Lowe; brother, Mark Lowe; sisters,
Cathy Russell, Deanne Filerman and Alison Smith; mother-in-law,
Virginia Prest ; along with several nieces, nephews, great-nieces
and great-nephews; and many other family members and treasured
friends. |
