Ivan Lowe

March 28, 1959 — May 13, 2026

Ivan Lowe, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, passed away peacefully in his sleep on May 13, 2026, at the age of 67. Born on March 28, 1959, in Denver, Colorado, Ivan's life was a testament to resilience, love, and the enduring bonds of family. Ivan was the cherished son of the late Alan Gary Lowe and Hattie Pauline Thorpe. His childhood in Denver was shared with his brothers, the late Eric, Heinrick, and Hans, as well as his surviving siblings, Reginald and Byron. Despite the early loss of his parents and brothers, Ivan's spirit remained unbroken, a legacy of strength that he carried throughout his life. In 1989, Ivan married the love of his life, Katharina Lenhardt, in a quaint ceremony in Germany. Together, they built a life brimming with love and laughter, raising three wonderful children: Johanne, Darrian, and Ivy, who, along with her husband Derrick Wilson, brought Ivan immense joy. His granddaughter, Carmen McCalister, was the light of his later years, and he treasured every moment with her. Ivan's family extended beyond those bound by blood. He was a beloved uncle to Lalona, Joshua, and Christopher, and a great-uncle to Mya Hendrix, Devondrick Thompson, Caleb, Colby, and Michael Hendrix. His warmth and kindness touched many lives, and he leaves behind a host of relatives and friends who cherished his company. Ivan's professional journey was marked by dedication and a commitment to excellence, although his true passion lay in the simple pleasures of life—spending time in nature, sharing stories, and savoring moments with family. His battle with multiple cancers was fought with unparalleled courage, inspiring those around him with his resilience and unwavering spirit. A service to celebrate Ivan's life will be held on May 22, 2026, at 2:00 PM at the Angelus Chapel, located at 1104 S. Circle Drive, Colorado Springs, CO 80910. Family and friends are invited to gather to honor a life filled with love, perseverance, and joy. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to the memorial fund established in Ivan's name: Memorial Fund. As we remember Ivan, let us carry forward his legacy of kindness, strength, and love, holding close the memories of a life well-lived and a man deeply loved.
