Anthony Lowry (3 Jul 1943 - 19 Aug 2025)

In loving memory of Anthony Lowry who sadly passed away on 19th August 2025.

Jean’s marvellous Husband and my wonderful Dad, sadly passed away on 19 August 2025. The loss we, as a family, feel is heightened by the inadequate treatment and care he received whilst at the QMC which led to his death.

Tony was loving, generous, helpful, supportive, and just an all-round wonderful man. Jean is devastated beyond words at the loss of her husband of 59 years. They had known each other since they were 13 years old, so the chasm that has been left by his passing, is bottomless. She has, however, many beautiful memories that hopefully, in time, will fill the void with love and peace.

I’m so blessed that Tony is my Dad. When I was a child he could be strict but always fair. As I became an adult he was my go-to financial advisor, diy expert, gardening guru, Dad-encyclopaedia, full of knowledge and words of wisdom, always available at the end of the phone and more recently WhatsApp video call. Welcome to the 21st century Dad!

Tony was a keen birdwatcher/twitcher and travelled far and wide in pursuit of adding another sighting to his yearly total. Scotland, Wales, Yorkshire and Dungeness were regularly visited with the occasional trip to far-flung destinations like Costa Rica and India.

Tony was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2018, treatment followed and he went into remission. Sadly, it returned in 2023 but, again, treatment was successfully keeping it at bay. However, the cancer treatment put strain on his heart and he had a heart attack and 2 cardiac arrests in 2018 and he was diagnosed with heart failure.

Instead of flowers Tony’s wishes were for donations to be made to Prostate Cancer UK to help support their vital work. Jean and I have also added British Heart Foundation and RSPB as two of Tony’s other charities that he supported.

Thank you so very much.
