Newton Lavon Lowery, age 84, passed away Saturday, September 30, 2023 at his home.   

Lavon is home with Jesus right now and that has been his life goal. His life was exciting and varied in so many ways. Lavon was a true entrepreneur all of his life and enjoyed being with people and helping others through encouragement and prayer.  He was very proud to be part of his men’s prayer group for many years. Lavon loved the mountains and enjoyed living in Southwest Virginia. He was a loving husband, dad and grandfather who will be missed by so many, but he is breathing fresh, Heavenly air today and that is a blessing.

He was preceded in death by his parents, David and Fannie Lowery and step-mother, Annie Lowery.
