“Being around you, your goofiness, your laugh, the way you showed up, it was contagious. I could have spent every minute of every day with you, and it still would have never been enough,” she continued.
Ashley added, “You wrote so much poetry and music, pieces of your soul that so many people never got to see. You carried dark battles that would have broken most people, and somehow, still, you chose joy. You found happiness in us. That will never stop astounding me.”
On Instagram, several of those Lowe’s worked with throughout his career also shared tributes to the late bodybuilding star.
“You were more like a friend to me than a bodybuilder,” wrote a user with the name PHL Designs, known for bodybuilding graphics. “I commented [on] every post and watched every YouTube video. You will be always remembered by me and I will do this bodybuilding journey and make you proud.”
