Lowell Adams, 86

Lowell Job Adams 

Oct. 3, 1938 — July 13, 2025

Lowell Job Adams, 86, of Hayden, Idaho, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by family who loved him very much.

Lowell was born Oct. 3, 1938, in Park City, Utah, and grew up in Careywood, Idaho. He proudly served in the United States Marine Corps as a jet mechanic before building a 37-year-long dedicated career as a pipefitter at Kaiser Aluminum. He was a hardworking man who lived with quiet integrity and a deep love for his family.

Lowell is survived by his beloved wife of 61 years, Sally Ann Myers Adams and their six children: Kym (Vivian) Howell, Darren (Wendy) Adams, Deanna Adams Watkins, Sherri (Ed) Morrow, Keith Adams and Kimberly (Mike) Steuernagel.

“Papa Lowellster” was a proud grandfather to 14 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren, all of whom brought him immense joy, and he loved making memories with them.

Those who knew Lowell will remember him as mild-mannered, soft-spoken and full of dry wit. He loved spending time outdoors in nature doing activities such as hunting, camping, fishing, snowmobiling and cutting wood, all of which brought him much happiness. He also enjoyed watching his family at sporting events and was an avid Gonzaga Bulldogs fan. He cherished treasured moments with his family and friends. His calm presence and warm sense of humor left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him.

One of his favorite jokes, always delivered with a twinkle in his bright blue eyes, summed up his playful spirit: “Do you know how to make a hankie dance? Put a little boogie in it.”

Lowell will be deeply missed and forever remembered with love.
