Anson Gerrard Lowder's Obituary
Anson Gerrard Lowder passed away on June 3rd 2025 due to complications from 4th stage kidney disease and COPD. He was 48.
He was preceded in death by his son Israel Jacob, loving grandparents Amanda and Thomas Lowder Sr., uncles Edgar and Thomas Lowder Jr, aunt Amanda Lidge and father Judd Brown (Detroit,MI). He is survived by his precious daughter Aniya Michelle Lowder of Toledo, OH and his loyal mother Vanessa Lowder of Jackson,MI, aunts Carolyn Pivato (Sylmar,CA), Brenda (Lansing, MI) Joyce of Jackson, and Lorretta Hall of Kalamazoo, MI.
Although Anson was an only child, he was a little brother to all of his first cousins… and so he is also survived by Stacy Martin (Lee) Davenport,IA, Camille Lidge (Detroit), Tracey Lowder (Shannon), Omar Parker (FL), Amy Hall (Kalamazoo), Tiffany Peete (Terrence)Kalamazoo, Nafeesa Montgomery (George)FL, Nicole Lowder(Jackson),Toye Lidge (Lansing), Cynthia Lowder(Jackson), and a host of other relatives and friends.
Ansons’ greatest passion was his daughter, Aniya. Holidays and summers were always his time to dote on her. He was a very big part of her life and co-parented well with her mother Timika Coleman. Anson attended and received his sous chef certification from culinary school. His other passions were cooking and baking, with his specialties being oxtail stew and the best scratch cheesecake you could ever imagine.
He loved to laugh and made friends easily. Our hearts go out to those he called his best friends, Arthur Davis(Toledo,OH), Nicole Taylor (Ann Arbor,MI), Rebecca Saft and Amy Lammers both of Jackson, who all loved him dearly.
In lieu of flowers, contributions toward his service can be made online through the House of Johnson website.
