Dear Family,


I'm sorry to hear of our loss of Lowell recently. He is missed by all who knew him. Always being a strong and regular supporter of the church softball teams, it was good to have him at Slatterly Park weekly:-)


Keep your memories of the good times shared close to your heart and He will continue to give you Peace.


My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Sorry to read of Lowell's passing.  Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

 


Craig, Leslie, Cody, Ryan & entire extended family & friends -


 


I’m very sorry to learn of Lowell’s recent battle with cancer and lung health issues, and now his passing.  It is of course a fight the family fights together as well.   My sincerest sympathies to you all personally and to your entire family.  


 


Lowell was simply a great guy.   Very personable and enjoyable. Glad he had felt somewhat better recently and was able to be a little more independent as well.  .


 


 


May God's peace and blessings be with you all to comfort you now at this time.  May the many good memories of Lowell’s life and good times shared together strengthen and support you now and in the future.


God's peace and my deepest condolences to you and your family,


 


Steve

Please accept my sincere condolences. Mr. Narveson's family meant the world to him. He was a loving husband, father, friend and neighbor. He will be dearly missed. During this time of sadness may intimate moments shared together and Gods promises found in the Bible provide the strength needed. Isaiah 25:8; Isaiah 41:10, 13. 

I was Lowell and Dene's neighbor for a short time but found him to be a wonderful, friendly, genuine man whom I really enjoyed talking with. My thoughts and prayers to family and friends.

Please know our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time.  There was never a dull moment when Lowell was around.  You have all made wonderful memories and will continue to share these memories with future generations.  As I read the condolence from the next door neighbor, let me tell you that his grandsons, Brett and Tanner, have carried on his knack for taking care of rabbits in their neighbors garden.  You taught them well, Lowell, rest in peace.

We are so sorry for your loss.  Lowell was a good man!  Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time.

My wife and I live next door to Lowell and Dene. Lowell was one of the first people my wife and I talked to when looking at the house we eventually bought. I could always count on Lowell to give me a hard time about the Green Bay Packers and about being a music teacher and he could always count on me needling him back about being a Vikings fan and a public utilities employee himself. Dene would usually smack him and roll her eyes a few times in these conversations too. We could also count on Lowell dropping off a bag of radishes or raspberries, or the occasional freshly caught fish or frozen venison too (he'd also pick off rabbits that would eat our garden produce...). I bet we also went entire winters without getting our front sidewalk too. Additionally, after a long winter inside we were out playing in the garden this last weekend and we introduced our 15 month old to Lowell and Dene. Now, when we point to the green house, he'll say "Owell" and "Eeene."


Lowell was a great neighbor to us and we'll miss him greatly.


Our condolances.

Dawn and family sorry for your loss I think of you and your family when I pass the KFC on belt line. 


Prayers and hugs
