Jerry Lowitz, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, musician, and friend to many, went home to the Lord on his 71st birthday, June 22, 2025.

A lifelong musician, Jerry’s passion for music was a defining part of his life. He was a beloved member of the Calvary Baptist Church worship team and played in multiple bands over the years, including a popular Humboldt County band, the Roadmasters. Jerry also had a career as a dedicated logger, working for PL.

Jerry had a special way with animals and found great joy in the outdoors, spending his time fishing and hunting. He truly loved his dog, Tank, who now lives with his wife, Kathy. Jerry will be deeply missed by his family and friends.

Jerry is survived by his beloved wife, Kathy Lowitz; daughter, Kimberly Lowitz; and stepchildren, Lynette Smith and Jeffrey Hernandez. He is also survived by his grandchildren, Britney, Colton, Ember-Lynn, Navaeh, Travis, and Waelyn, and also great-grandchildren.

A memorial service to celebrate Jerry’s life will be held on August 30th at 4:30 p.m. at Calvary Baptist Church, located at 3400 F Street, Eureka. The family would be deeply touched if those who knew and cared for him would join them in remembering and celebrating his life.

A potluck and fellowship will follow the service. Please text the number of people attending the potluck to 707-499-3783.
