A True Original and a Beloved Friend

Lowe was cherished by those who knew him as a true original, always leaving a lasting impression with his unique personality and sense of humor. He had a love for literature, music, and his home state, Alabama. His fondness for Joan Baez's rendition of "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" symbolized his connection to the region's history.
From Aimee Love: "I was saddened to learn of Ross's passing. We worked closely for almost a decade, and although we lost touch after I moved out of state, I still think of him often. He volunteered at every event, had an encyclopedic knowledge of policy and issues, and never failed to make me laugh after a long, hot day of collecting signatures. This photo - taken after a day of tabling at an international food festival on a scorching June day in Alabama - says it all."
