Willard L. Lowery Jr., age 83, passed away on March 26, 2025, in Corpus Christi, Texas. Born on January 19, 1942, in Miami, Florida, Willard lived a full and honorable life, marked by dedication to his family, his country, and his profession.

Willard's journey began in the sun-kissed city of Miami. His early life in Florida laid the foundation for a man who would approach the world with a warm heart and a generous spirit. In September of 1966, Willard entered the United States Navy, serving his country with pride and distinction until his honorable discharge in 1978. His time in the service was a testament to his enduring patriotism and his commitment to the values he held dear. After his military career, Willard transitioned into civilian life with ambition. He embarked on a fulfilling career as an x-ray service engineer, a role that allowed him to combine his technical expertise with a desire to contribute to the healthcare industry.

Willard's personal life was as rich and rewarding as his professional endeavors. He found love and companionship in his wife of 31 years, Rosemary Lowery. Together, they navigated the waters of life with unwavering support and love for one another. Willard also embraced the role of a family man with the adoption of his grandson, Stephen Lowery, raising him with the same values of love, respect, and responsibility that he himself had cherished.

Willard's family circle expanded to include his stepson, Brian Barrera, and stepdaughter, Celina Jackson, along with her husband, Jason Jackson. Willard's role as a grandfather was one of his greatest joys. He delighted in the company of his grandsons, Joseph and Jordan Roberts, and was blessed with the arrival of his great-granddaughter, Jordyn Roberts.

Willard's legacy is one of selfless service, unwavering love, and a life well-lived. Those who knew him will remember the strength of his character, and the depth of his compassion. Willard L. Lowery Jr. was not just a man who lived; he was a man who enriched the lives of all who crossed his path.

As we bid farewell to Willard, we celebrate the immeasurable impact he made on his family, friends, and country. Willard's journey on earth has concluded, but the values he embodied and the love he shared will forever be remembered.

In honor of a life that was truly well-lived, we say goodbye to Willard L. Lowery Jr., a man of honor with a cherished soul who will be deeply missed.
