Durk Reuben Lowe was born April 18, 1953 in Preston, Id to Connel Durrant and Dessie Anona Workman Lowe. He was the third of 5 boys. Durk grew up as an independent young man. He joined the US Air Force in 1971 and was stationed at Grand Forks North Dakota Air Force base.
He married (Hamp) on November 13, 1971 in Soda springs, Id. They have 3 children.
Durk and his wife were sealed for all time and eternity in the Idaho Falls temple in 2005.
Durk went to work for Simplot in Soda Spring, Id in 1976 where his main duty was heavy equipment operator. In 1981 he became an Emergency Medical technician (EMT) where he served the community for 2 years. When Simplot built the Smoky Canyon mine he moved his family to Afton Wyoming in 1983. During this time Durk still worked as an EMT for Lincoln county and was a huge advocate for implementing the Simplot emergency Rescue Volunteers (SERV) for the Smoky Canyon Mine. In 2002-2003 he received the distinguished "EMT of the year" award. Durk was dedicated to serving and helping those around him and was a first
responding angel for many fellow workers and neighbors helping save countless lives.
In 2004 Durk, Jay, Cody, and Randy were reunited with their long lost brother, Robert Clisby.
Robert had been given up for adoption before any of them were born and they had spent time looking for him, knowing he was out there somewhere. This reunion was a miracle and an answer to many of the family's prayers.
In 2005 Durk retired as an EMT after 21 years of selfless service. In January 2011 Durk retired from his mining career from Simplot after 38 years of hard work and dedication.
Durk loved the outdoors,and his favorite hobbies and pastimes include camping, hunting, fishing, 4 wheeling, and being with family. All of his family's greatest memories are spending time with him in the mountains doing all of his favorite things.
He is preceded in death by his parents Connel and Dessie Lowe; Brother Robert Clisby; son William Ray Lowe; grandson Christopher Durk Lowe; and great grandson Christian Kristopher Daniel Bookout.
