JOHN VAN-LOWE Obituary

To the Family and many friends of John - I remember him from the Berkely Institute and his many musical gigs including the Bermuda Regiment. Always a very nice guy. May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

To the family & loved ones,

Sending sincere and heartfelt condolences on the passing of Sgt. Maj. Van-Lowe. As a past member of the Bermuda Regiment band 'Woodwind section', I found him to be a great and witty teacher/mentor.

Praying for comfort and peace during this sad time.

My sincere condolences to the family of John Van-Lowe. He was my section Sgt. in the Band from 1986 to 1992, and he taught me everything! We and other band members went to Gilbralta in '86 and took part in the Changing of the Guard ceremony, played with the Royal Anglin Regiment Band. I had the privilege to play clarinet with James in the 50th Anniversary BRB concert at Victoria Park, and he kept reminding me of that Gibraltar trip. James will be missed, now a piece of the BRB legacy will be gone but not forgotten. Rest in Peace friend. We will see you again on that great getting up morning.

May God strengthen you at this time of sorrow; look to the Lord he will strengthen you all. Condolences.

Albert & Paulette, our deepest condolences to you and the family on the passing of your brother. May all of your memories bring you some comfort and may he Rest in Eternal Peace.

My deepest sympathy to the Van-Lowe Family,

May God bless you during this difficult time.

Rest in peace James.

Condolences Van-Lowe family from Donna Scott and family

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

To Jamesha and Family

We were saddened to learn of your Father and loved one, James, passing and send condolences at this time. Thank you for sharing a true gentle giant with a passion for music and his Country, with us. May the love and prayers of many family and friends whose lives he touched comfort you through your grief.

I'm still shocked. James was a great guy and always made me laugh! Sending sincere condolences from myself and my family!

James this was a shock. I will miss your contribution to The Berkeley Class '77 chat group. May you RIP and you Family be comforted.

My deepest condolences to the family of sgt. Maj James Van Lowe. So shocked to hear this sad news. I met Sgt. Maj when I joined the Regiment 1999. A man hard to read but had a big heart. R.I.P....Gone tooo soon

Goodbye James. I am still having difficulty in the reality that you have left us. You were always the life of any party or social gathering. Everyone, I sincerely hope that my message is not in-appropriate - but I feel compelled to share with all of you, this extremely special gesture that James bestowed on me. Christmas 1998, I answered my telephone (a landline) and I immediately heard: Merry Christmas Marilyn this is Van-Lowe, please do not hang up and I was immediately saranaded with a Christmas song over the telephone by James on his saxaphone. At the end of the saranade, he said "I hope this will start your Christmas celebrations on a good note. He did this 4 Christmases in a row - the following 3 times when I answered the telephone, he did not identify himself first - he just saranaded me on his saxaphone with a different Christmas song at the end he wished me a great and happy Christmas. We had absolutely no romantic connections - we were just friends via the Bermuda Regiment and he always financially donated to my 24-hour Walk for Charity. Gone but will never be forgotten - Sergeant Major Marilyn Steede.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences during this incredibly difficult time.
May you find comfort in the love and support of those around you, and may the cherished memories you hold bring you peace and solace. My thoughts are with you and your family as you navigate through this period of grief.

To Albert Van-Lowe / Ernest & Michael Johnson and all the family. I am shocked to hear of James passing as I would always see him around the neighborhood to say hello and have a chat. It was through his cousin Ernest that I met Al & James back in the early 1970´s on Spice Hill Road. James was always a very kind and respectful person and very Godly in his ways. James may you be at peace with the Lord Jesus now and with all your family and friends. I will never forget you and our neighborhood chats. Rest in Peace my friend.

My condolences to his friends and family. May his soul rests in peace! I can remember asking him to fix my Saxophone for me.

My sincere condolences to James family. I knew James from Banking days. He was a good guy. R.I.P.

To the family of John,

John played at my 60th birthday party celebration along with his fellow brass band. I will always be appreciative as their performance and generosity was the highlight and the perfect surprise for me. Such talent will be missed but made a lot of people's lives richer. May he RIP!!!

My dear friend Jamesha, my heart goes out to you and the boys. I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Your father was clearly a remarkable man, and his love and presence will always be reflected in the wonderful person you are.

Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts during this incredibly difficult time. May you find comfort in the memories you shared and strength in the love that surrounds you.

With heartfelt condolences and sympathy.

To the family and friends of James, you have my sincerest condolences. I don't know how long I have known James; he was younger than I. He was always cheerful and ready to crack a joke or two. Very kind and gentle personally, but with a firmness of character. I pray with all those who mourn, and may he rest In Peace
