In Memory Of
Lowell C Murrell
1945 - 2019
MURRELL, Lowell, age 74, of Merritt Island, Florida passed away on Saturday, December 28th, 2019. He was an Eagle Scout and graduated from Milton High School in Milton, WV in 1963. At the University of Cincinnati, Lowell was the President of his fraternity Theta Chi and he received a Bachelors Degree in Design in 1969. That same year he married his college sweetheart Carole Kirchheiner Murrell. He proudly joined the National Guard and served throughout the 70’s. He then spent many years revitalizing neighborhoods in Cincinnati and he worked his way up in the construction field to owning his own general contracting business. Lowell and Carole were avid sailors and won many sailing races at Brookville Lake in Indiana. They enjoyed camping and playing cards with friends there.
In 1997, they moved to Cocoa Beach, Florida where Lowell owned a graphics business for many years. He was an accomplished artist and loved to paint Florida’s beautiful wildlife. Lowell began going to the Cocoa Beach dog park with his dogs and eventually became “Mayor” of the dog park. He advocated for the upkeep of the dog park and organized several Christmas fundraisers there to benefit local Wounded Warriors.
Lowell was generous and kind and full of laughter. He was a stranger to nobody and loved to tell stories to his friends and family or anyone who happened to be around. Lowell will be greatly missed. He was preceded in death by his parents Clark and Lorraine Murrell and sister-in-law Connie Lubbers. He is survived by his wife Carole; daughter Nicole Matchett; granddaughter Madeline Zeuli; grandson Samuel Matchett; brothers Edward and Terry Murrell; sister Carolyn Weaver; brother-in-law Henry Lubbers and numerous nieces and nephews.
There was a Celebration of Life at the Cocoa Beach dog park on Saturday, January 4th at 10am to honor Lowell.
There will be a second Celebration of Life ceremony on Lowell’s birthday, Feb. 2, 2020 at 1pm at 200 Cadiz Ct. Merritt Island, FL. 32953.
"Dear loved ones as you remember me, may there be no mourning as I am put out to sea."
