                     Wednesday, September 12, 2018

  Mr. RYAN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to remember the life of 
Michael George Lowry, Jr., age 34, who passed away on September 5th.
  Michael George Lowry, Jr. was born on December 28, 1983 in Ohio, 
Youngstown to Michael and Annie Miller Lowry. He was a lifelong 
resident of the Mahoning Valley and a huge Notre Dame and Pittsburgh 
Steelers fan. After attending both Ursuline and Liberty High Schools, 
he became a Chemical Dependence Counselor Assistant with Breaking Point 
and New Day. He was known as an excellent counselor who continually 
showed love and compassion for those in his care.
  Outside of work, Michael had a passion for the outdoors, and he 
enjoyed building fires in his backyard fire pit. Michael was also 
dedicated to improving his community. He was an advocate for the 
homeless, and a volunteer at local animal shelters.
  His memory will be cherished by his parents, his children; Lillian 
Lowry, Ava Lowry and her mother, Angela Hernandez, and Olivia and 
Jackson Lowry and their mother, Rachel Mangine: sister Laura (Alex 
Chick) Lowry; brother James (Molly) Lowry; nephews James Lowry and 
Breen Dahman; girlfriend Bethany Hawout; and numerous uncles, aunts, 
and cousins. Michael was preceded in death by his grandparents, Dutch, 
Sally, and Nancy Miller and Chuck and Jean Lowry.
  I have known the Lowry family for many years, and I know Michael is 
dearly missed. I extend my deepest and sincerest condolences.
