More than a year after Aaron Lowe’s death, the man who allegedly killed him has yet to be put on trial — and the delay has made it especially difficult for those closest to Lowe to move forward from his death. “I can’t get closure.'
The family of Aaron Lowe, including his mother Donna Lowe-Stern, Lowe's older brother, Christopher Jackson and Lowe's sister Davetta Jones weep as Lowe is remembered Saturday. For the first time in school history, the University of Utah has officially retired the No. 22 in its football program. The designation happened during the Utes game against UCLA at Rice-Eccles Stadium on Oct. 30, 2021. Retiring No.
Jordan, a former Utah running back, died almost exactly nine months before Lowe from an accidental, self-inflicted gunshot wound. Lowe, who had been teammates with Jordan in high school, was the first recipient of the Ty Jordan Memorial Scholarship. The recipient of this year’s scholarship — now named for both players — is Ja'Quinden Jackson, left, switched from quarterback to running back this season.
“So for me not to be able to do that, I got like a lot of stuff bottled up inside of me. But me being on the field a little bit helps a little.”“Of course it’s going to affect things, but I try not to put it in front of my head because then it will affect me in the long run,” Jackson said. “But it’s definitely still there.”.
“I just want him prosecuted because he didn’t even know my son,” she said. “You know, I might have been able to handle it more better if my son was out there dealing drugs and fighting in the streets and packing guns and all those kind of things. But that wasn’t Aaron. So you took a kid’s life that violence was not in him nowhere.”
