Ronald “Ron” Lowry went to meet Jesus on December 2, 2021, in Salina,
Kansas. His transition to the other side was peaceful. Ron told many
people, “if I live I will win, if I don’t I will win. When I die I will
win, who could ask for more than a win, win situation."
Ron served rural churches in central and western Kansas as a United
Methodist Ordained Minister. Ron having grown up on a farm north of
Abilene loved the rural community people. He could be heard saying the
ladies of rural Kansas are the best cooks. He also said he had not met a
pie he did not like.
Ron was born January 16, 1944, in Abilene, Kansas, to Delbert L. Lowry
and Tabitha N. Davidson. Ron attended Friends University and Phillips
University where he received his Masters of Divinity.
Ron has many friends and many interests such as ham radio,
electronics, creating lighted Christmas decorations and being a ball
point pen maker. Ron said turning 308 shell cartridges into writing pens
was like turning a sword into plow shares.
Ron is survived by his wife, Sheron and their son Bennett of Wilson,
KS; two step-sons, Shawn (Sheryl) Batt of Wichita, KS and Shane (Rosa)
Batt of Cyprus, KS; one sister, Judy Adee; and many other family members
that include two grandsons, Scott (Kiri) Batt of Wichita, KS, and
Shelby (Leah) Batt of Wichita, KS. Ron has six great-grandchildren and
loved to hear of their interests and to make them laugh.
