Lowell was born July 3, 1933 in Blue, Oklahoma to parents who were migrant farm workers during the dust bowl and thus he traveled throughout the country working in the fields.

Throughout his service he was a mechanic, a trade he later used in civilian life. After his discharge he attended mechanic school on the GI Bill in Amarillo, TX and lived in numerous places throughout the country. He spent many years in Southern California and in 1972 settled in Bakersfield where he owned his own shop for many years. In 2008 he moved to Idaho, later moving to Missouri in 2010 and came back to Sagle with his son and daughter-in-law in May of 2015. Lowell was a lifetime member of both the VFW and the DAV, and was currently attending Sandpoint First Baptist Church.

He was preceded in death by his parents and one son, David Lee Moore and 2 brothers, Billy Joe Moore and James Charles Moore. Lowell was loved by many and will be missed by all who knew him.
