Christopher Scott Lowe, a beloved coach, teacher and, "big papa", passed away on August 13, 2024, at the age of 58. Chris was born on February 10, 1966, in Gary, IN, to the late Donald Gene and Doris Nell (Mason) Lowe.

Chris found the love of his life in Chelsey J. Moore, and they were united in marriage on June 30, 2018. Together, they began a new chapter, moving to Kimberling City in 2018 from Sikeston, MO.

Chris was a dedicated Mizzou football fan and loved playing for the team from 1984-1988. Chris has a passion for wrestling that was evident throughout his life. A dedicated teacher and head wrestling coach, he influenced countless lives with his leadership, guidance, and unwavering dedication to the sport. His efforts were rewarded by being named Missouri Coach of the Year (Class 3 district 1) in 2016. His career culminated at Reeds Spring High School, where he retired in 2024, leaving behind a legacy that will be remembered for generations.

Chris was preceded in death by his parents, Donald and Nell Lowe, and his sister, Julie Heppe.

He leaves behind his devoted wife, Chelsey, and six loving children: Sara Collins, Rachael (Chris) Tucker, Caroline (Kyle) Brown, Scott Lowe, Griffin Hancock, and Josh Lowe. Chris was also the proud "Big" Papa of five cherished grandchildren: Bentley, Reid, Brody, Beckham, and Rhett. He also leaves behind one sister Michell (Tim) Anglemeyer and several nephews and a niece.

A Celebration of Life will be held in honor of Chris at the Shepherd of the Hills Outdoor Theatre in Branson, Mo on Saturday, August 17, 2024, from 1:00 to 3:00 PM. The family kindly requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Reeds Spring Wrestling, a passion that was close to Chris's heart.
