Oscar Marion Lowery

August 23, 1924 - November 14, 2016

Oscar Marion Lowery, 92, of Charlotte, died Monday, November 14, 2016, at the Five Oaks Care Center in Concord, NC. Oscar, or “The Rabbit Man” as he was also known, was born in Marshville, NC, on August 23, 1924, the son of Marsh and Gertie Lowery. He grew up in the Marshville area, leaving school at a young age to tend to the farm. He met a young lady named Lois Stafford whom he was married to for 42 years. Together they raised four sons. Oscar was known as “The Rabbit Man” because he sold rabbits. Gifted with the use of his hands, he worked as a sheet metal fabricator for Parks-Cramer before retiring. He enjoyed many things in life, including going to auctions and caring for animals. Goats, rabbits, chickens and dogs were all his favorite companions and he loved caring for animals. When outdoors, he enjoyed going fishing and just cruising the countryside in his car. An automobile enthusiast, he loved working on his antique cars, especially Ford Falcons of which he was a club member, and taking his boys to the dirt track races on Friday nights. Most of all, he loved time spent with family and friends. Oscar is survived by his sons: Calvin Lowery of Morganton, NC, Floyd Lowery of Charlotte, Roger Lowery of Charlotte, and Ronny (wife Carolyn) Lowery of Charlotte; grandchildren: Richard Lowery, Danny (wife Misty) Lowery, Stefanie Lowery and Jennifer (husband Jeremy) Ainsworth; and numerous great grandchildren. He is further survived by a brother, Melvin (wife Evelyn) Lowery of Monroe, NC, a sister, Lessie Ragsdale of Lancaster, SC, a sister Virginia Guion and numerous other nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, two brothers and three sisters. A gathering of friends and family will be held at 2 pm on Thursday, November 17, 2016, at the Chapel of All Faiths at Sunset Memory Gardens, 8901 Lawyers Road, Charlotte, NC 28227. At 3 pm all present will proceed to the grave where a short graveside service will be held. Oscar’s family has given the family of Lowe-Neddo Funeral Home the privilege of serving them.
