David Thomas Lowman III, 62, of Chester passed away suddenly Saturday, October 12, 2019.
Born in West Virginia, Richmond was his home base. Growing up he served in his father’s churches and developed a deep love for all people, especially children. He felt strongly about feeding the hungry. Dave was a standout in baseball and basketball in high school and had a tryout with the Pittsburgh Pirates. He played USSSA softball and developed close friendships there. As a sports agent specializing in marketing, he promoted professional sports players, especially those in the NFL. A longtime member of the Touchdown Club, he believed in recognizing prep athletes for their education and athletic achievements. Dave had an encyclopedic knowledge of baseball, football, and basketball. His sense of humor and ability to connect with people anywhere were valued attributes whether he was in Ireland, Italy, Hawaii, or home. Dave was an attentive son, a cherished partner, treasured brother, beloved father, step-father, and G-Daddy, as well as precious friend.
He is survived by his parents, Tom and Jean Lowman; siblings Sarah Martin, and Phillip and Debbie Lowman; his partner of 20 years, Maureen Leister; his daughter and son-in-law, Erin and Scott Roberts, their children, Greysen and Ella Roberts, as well as her children, Kaylee and James Thomas Farmer; his step-children, Matt and Talia Leister, Alex and grandchildren Lili and EJ Leister, Samantha Leister, Rachel and Will Turanchik; nieces Morgan and Kendal Ellis and Madeline Lowman; and nephew Steven Lowman.

My father was a very kind hearted loving generous man. He had the biggest heart. He loved all his friends and family so much! He is now in a better place in heaven. God takes the best to be will him. He will forever be loved and missed.
Erin, I am so sorry to hear about your dad. My heart goes out to all the family but especially to you. Your dad was a gentle gentle kind soul and family was so important to him. He loved anybody he ever met. You have some VERY strong women to help you get thru this. Lean on them for inner peace. Love you sweetie, Candy
Thank you for your kind words! Love to you and your family as well!
Ms. Roberts: I think that your father and I had a class together at John Tyler Community College in the late 70s. He was really into sports, He was very athletic. I’m so sorry to hear of his passing. May I ask how he passed away? He was really a nice guy! My sincere sympathy to your family.
Daves grandson EJ who is 5 has said “he knows that Papa Dave loves him because he bought a flash t-shirt like his so he can be “old man flash” while I am kid flash and Dad (Alex – step-son) is “regular flash”!
We are deeply sorry for the loss of Dave.
Dave was a good man. I am praying for the family’s peace and comfort.
I am sorry see where Dave passed away. I knew him through John Tyler CC and baseball. He and I spent a lot of time together at the baseball parks before I was married. I met his mother and father many times. Though it has been many years since I had seen and spoken with him I will miss him. He was a good man and I know he had a great family.
