John Homer Lowe III

John Homer Lowe III passed away in his home surrounded by his loving family on Tuesday June 23, 2020 from complications due to Cancer. He was 74. Having served two tours of duty in Vietnam, John Lowe was a decorated army veteran who proudly served his country. After the war, John began a career in theatre as an assistant stage manager for the Broadway revival “No No Nanette” which starred his mother, Ruby Keeler. From that, John would go on to serve as production manager, director, stage manager or producer for over 85 productions throughout the world. He worked with Bert Shevelove, Gower Champion, Bob Fosse, and Hal Prince, among others. He spent 3 years as Vice President and General Manager of Production for Radio City Music Hall, and enjoyed 6 separate contracts as Production Manager for Norwegian Cruise Lines. John’s passions spread beyond the theatre, most notably to supporting and cheering for his children at their theater productions and soccer games. He joyfully embraced being “Puppa” and playing with his two grandsons. He also spent his last years supporting and representing his fellow veterans in programs at his local Department of Veteran’s Affairs. John is survived by his two children, Sarah and Sean, Sarah’s sons Keeler and Hillier, his three sisters, Theresa, Christine, Kathleen, Son-in-law Matthew Donnelly, Daughter-in-law, Chanell Hardy Lowe, and companion Adriana Rabida. John Lowe will be laid to rest at Riverside National Cemetery in California with full military honors on Friday July 10, 2020. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to a reputable Veteran’s charity of your choosing.
