Philbert Lowe

Philbert "Phil" Lowe was born on November 12, 1953, in Madera, California. He passed away suddenly, on April 22, 2026, at his home in Kingsburg, California. He was the eldest of four born to Ying Calvin Lowe and Linda Lowe, and is also survived by his siblings, Melissa Lowe Long, Douglas Lowe, and Donna Lowe, along with extended family and many lifelong friends. Phil was the beloved husband of Susan McClaskey Lowe for 40 years. The two were married on January 24, 1985, at the Chapel of the Bells in Lake Tahoe. He was a proud father to Kris Terris and his wife Shanan, Wesley Lowe and his wife Sarah. He was a loving grandfather to Macy Lowe, Eden Lowe, and Calvin Lowe, as well as Klaire Terris, Vaughn Terris, and Evra Terris, all of whom brought him tremendous pride and joy. Phil spent his life rooted in family and community. He was one of the family owners and operators of Town & Country Market, the grocery business founded by his parents. Alongside his brother and sisters, Phil dedicated over 30 years to helping build and run the family markets in Kingsburg and Selma, California. Through his work, he became a familiar face and a trusted presence to generations of customers and community members. Phil was known for his strong will, his unwavering work ethic, and his great sense of humor. He was deeply loved by all who knew him. He had a natural way with people and genuinely enjoyed connecting with others-whether through conversation, business, or simply sharing a meal. He had a deep love for his children and grandchildren and took great pride in supporting them in all their endeavors. He loved teasing his grandchildren on any occasion. His joyful smile and infectious laugh brightened the lives of those around him. Food was one of Phil's greatest passions. He had a renowned love for eating and discovering new restaurants. He seemed to always know the best spot, no matter where you were in California. For him, food wasn't just nourishment; it was something to experience and enjoy with the people he loved. Above all, Phil will be remembered for his dedication to his family, his work ethic, his humor, and the relationships he built throughout his life. His presence, personality, and love for life will be deeply missed, but his legacy lives on through his family and the many people whose lives he touched.
