My wife and I send our deepest sympathy at the terrible tragedy. Derrick was a wonderful, dedicated man who had a marvelous future in public service before him. It was a pleasure to know him as a visiting judge in the Circuit Court for Cecil County during his clerkship with Judge Lidums and then as the Clerk of the Court. We send our prayers for strength to r. Lowe, the children, and the family. May the Blessings of God flow to the family.

God Bless you and your family, Suellen Lappe

God our Father, Your power brings us to birth, Your providence guides our lives, and by Your command we return to dust. Lord, those who die still live in Your presence, their lives change but do not end. I pray in hope for the Lowe family, relatives and friends, and for all the dead known to You alone. In company with Christ, Who died and now lives, may they rejoice in Your kingdom, where all our tears are wiped away. Unite us together again in one family, to sing Your praise forever and ever. Amen.

Gary and I are deeply saddened by Derrick's passing. He was a friend and someone we greatly admired. One day a couple of summers ago, he called us to see if we were going for an afternoon motorcycle ride and wanted to go along. We had a great time that day and we always hoped to go on another ride with him. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Our hearts are heavy for Elizabeth, Webster, and Emma.

Dr. Lowe & Family - May God wrap you and your children, Ms. Francis, and Craig in his loving arms and provide the comfort and peace that only HE can.

To the Lowe Family: I have known Derrick since elementary school- there has never been a kinder, sweeter person. He was on our Hunter basketball team and I cheered. Always had kind things to say and always helpful. I am in shock as I know Ms Frances, Craig, Elizabeth and the kids. I am so glad I got to see him at our 30th class reunion last October. RIP my sweet friend. Sheri Oliver Yontz-Elizabethton, TN

Dr. Lowe and Family, Friends are the pillars on your porch. Sometimes they hold you up, sometimes they lean on you, and sometimes it's just enough to know that they are standing by. If there is anything we can do just let us know.
Gary Holmes left a message on August 6, 2015:
Dear Lowe Family: We were all heart broken to hear of Derrick's passing. It seems so odd not to see him in his office or see his pickup truck going down Oldfield Pt or at his spot. He was just discussing the County Fair with me the day before. He loved to talk about the kids & your trips & Tennessee. We all enjoyed the amazing concert he put on. My heart goes out to Webster & Emma. He loved you both very much!!! He was also such a good son & we all enjoyed when his sweet Mom would stop in to visit. May God bless you & hug you all with the Unexplainable Peace & Love of Jesus & may you all have sweet & happy memories at this sad time. You will be in our prayers, Gary Holmes, Land Records Dept., Clerks Office, Elkton, MD.

Keith Glover left a message on August 6, 2015:
Praying for you all...1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 3But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. 14For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. 15For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. 18Therefore encourage one another with these words.

As a fellow Clerk of the Court, I not only had Derrick as an equal but also as a friend. He was deeply committed to the betterment of the Judiciary and helping the citizens of Cecil County. As I, he enjoyed camping. To his wife and children I extend my deepest sympathy and hope that your faith in God will give you some comfort at this time.
Chadwick Milton left a message on August 6, 2015:

STEVENS REMILLARD left a message on August 6, 2015:
I believe every CLI class thinks of themselves as special. I know we are; yet, our brilliance has dimmed with the loss of Derrick. Always pleasant; soft and humorous. He was frequently a calming and centering influence. His loss is an unfortunate reminder of our frailty of life. It’s one of the reasons I’m grateful for you guys and our CLI experience. He would want us to stay focused - family and friends. His passing is a major loss to our entire community. (Derrick was a classmate in the 2010 Cecil Leadership Institute)
