LOWE, Michael "Jay" - age 59 of Torbrook, Annapolis Co., passed away suddenly on Saturday, April 18, 2015, in the Valley Regional Hospital, Kentville. Born on November 30, 1955, in Halifax, he was a son of the late Michael J.and Alvona W. (Wagner) Lowe. Jay had a zest for life and would lend a hand to anyone in need or otherwise. He left a piece of himself to everyone he met. Jay loved his grandchildren and his dogs more than life itself; they meant the world to him. He was fond of his work family almost as much as his real family and truly enjoyed his job. Jay leaves behind his wife of 40 years, Priscilla Crocker; daughters, Monica (Paul) Williams, Torbrook; Maggie Crocker, Kingston; he also leaves behind five grandchildren who loved him deeply. There were also a few other "children" in his life. Jay will be missed by his siblings very much, Kirk, Colin, Rosemary, John, Melinda and Lyndon. Michelle was more like a daughter than a baby sister and her children, Kayla and Cassidy. He had numerous special friends who will surely miss him as well, Harry, Mackie, Pete, Joanne and Bill. We will miss the endless jokes, the "uglies: and the moving to Sissiboo and "you don't loves me's" and throwing Mickenna in the garbage. Visitation will take place from 7-9 p.m., Tuesday, in the Middleton Funeral Home, 398 Main St., (902) 825-3448. A celebration of Jay's life will take place at 4 p.m., Friday, April 24, at St. Mark's Chapel, 14 Wing Greenwood, Lt. The Rev. Kent Greer officiating. Donations in his memory may be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation or to the Canadian Cancer Society. On-line guest book may be signed by visiting: www.middletonfuneralhome.com
