sorry for the loss! I only seen him a few times but he was a Goodman
To the Lowman Family Our condolences to you all
He would be dearly missed!
Jim Lowman was a forthright man. A good sheriff and family man, he kept his yard immaculent.
I served with Jim Lowman as a deacon. We were both ordained in January 2004. He was faithful to the same woman for 38 years and praise God for Bro John Smith and his leadership at FBCC. Its sad that many people are told they can serve in every area of a church except deacon if they dont measure up to what some define as a biblical standard! And under the new pastor there he would have never had that chance…. Praise God for the Blood of Jesus.
Sue, my thoughts and prayers are with you and the girls at this very difficult times of your life. I always thought of Jim as a second dad. I always enjoyed his visits to the Oriental House when he was able to come in for coffee. Jim was a great hearted man for that I know he is walking the streets in heaven. I just can’t believe he’s gone. God only takes the best. May God Bless you and the rest of the family during this time.
Love ya,
Teresa from the Oriental House
Molino Res – - Wonderful sentiment.
To Sue and Family, Our condolences to you all
May God keep his arms around you and keep you close
Sue and Family, I am so sorry for your loss. Jim was a good person, he’s gone way too soon.

I had the honor to be ordained as a deacon at First Baptist Church Cantonment in January 2004. That Sunday night I shared the platform with Bro Jim Lowman who also was ordained that night. I had the privelege of serving with him and by him at FBCC. There was never a time I did not see him he did not smile and great me with a handshake. I can still hear him say Curtis, How are you tonight? at every deacons meeting…..Rest in peace brother!
Sue, I am so sorry to hear about Jim. As you know, he was such a special person. I will never forget all of the good times on the campaign trail and our “celebration” the night he won the election:)
I can just see Richard and Jim sitting around joking about the good old days and all of the fun they had over the years.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and the girls.
“The Final Inspection”
The policeman stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.
“Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My church have you been true?”
The policeman squared his shoulders and said,
“No, Lord, I guess I ain’t,
Because those of us who carry badges
can’t always be a saint.
I’ve had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I’ve been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.
But I never took a penny,
That wasn’t mine to keep….
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I’ve wept unmanly tears.
I know I don’t deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.
If you’ve a place for me here,
Lord, It needn’t be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don’t…..I’ll understand.
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
“Step forward now, policeman,
You’ve borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven’s streets,
You’ve done your time in hell.”
