Scott Southwick Lowe died surrounded by family on December 24, 2025, after a courageous battle with brain cancer.
Scott was a Certified Public Accountant and President of Seagull Operating Company by trade, but would want to be remembered as so much more.
Scott was born in Shreveport in 1951, and his mother said from the very beginning he was “always a sweet little fella.” Despite his sweetness, Scott occasionally got into trouble. At the age of 14, fed up with field fires and petty theft, his parents informed him that he needed to get a girlfriend. He asked Ginger Hagens to a house party, and the rest was history. They attended LSU and married as college sophomores (and later often reflected-“What were we thinking?!”). They enjoyed 54 years of marriage. Scott and Ginger had two daughters, Katherine Lowe McCrary (Kevin) and Anna Lowe Weber. To his four grandchildren-Sophie and Dylan McCrary, and Lila and Charlie Weber- he was “Coo Coo,” and there were lots of love and laughs shared among them.
Scott was a man of many passions. Besides his family, Scott loved traveling to near and very far places. An avid lover and supporter of the outdoors, Scott loved camping out, hiking, and backpacking, and served as the President of the Shreveport chapter of the Sierra Club. He loved and was loved by many dogs throughout the years. He enjoyed many hunting and fishing trips to Arkansas and South Louisiana, often with his brother, Bruce. To his YMCA volleyball crew, he was known as “the Godfather.” More recently, his passions included the guitar and his jam group. He had lots of friends, who have been so kind during this hard ordeal-special thanks to his jam group, book club, All Souls Unitarian Church friends, and stock syndicate for their support.
Our family would like to thank the doctors at Willis Knighton Cancer Center for their kindness and compassion: Tyler Lash and Jake Wang. Thanks to Dr. Rick Michael and Dr. Jonathan Davis for always being there with answers to Ginger’s nervous questions. To the staff of Bristol Hospice, you were so helpful! And, especially, thanks to William Turman, of Always Best Care Sitters – always there with a smile, advice and a willingness to help in any way. Words can’t express our gratitude to you.
Scott is survived by his brother, Bruce Lowe and his mother, Sheila Southwick Lowe. The family will hold a private service. In lieu of flowers, please send any donations to the James Burton Foundation (714 Elvis Presley Avenue, Shreveport Louisiana, 71101), which supports music education for those in need through guitar donations and music instruction to schools, hospitals, and community organizations.
