Anthony Stuart Lowenstein was born on January 9, 1971 and died on December 1, 2016, at the age of 45, the innocent victim of a tragic car accident. He was the beloved husband of Diane Ettelson Lowenstein, and devoted father of daughters Kathryn Ann, Julia Claire, and Anna Gail of Tiburon, California. He was a committed family man who relished spending time with his children, whether boating on the San Francisco Bay, swimming in their backyard, or biking the hills of Marin with children in tow. He also was very close to his parents Betty and Aubrey Lowenstein and brother Robert Lowenstein of Toronto, Canada. He is survived by them and mother-in-law Helene Ettelson of San Francisco.
Anthony was a unique and spirited person with a zest for life who always left a lasting impression with his quick wit, big heart and warm smile. Anthony was a great adventurer, and those that know him take comfort in the fact that while he died prematurely, he fit an incredible amount of life into 45 years.
Anthony graduated from the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario, Canada and Osgoode Law School at York University in Toronto, Canada. After admission to the bar in Canada, he moved to San Francisco and became a practicing attorney in the San Francisco Bay area until his untimely death. He was a zealous advocate who worked hard for his clients and achieved many significant trial verdicts.
Anthony was passionate about flying. He started flying small planes as a hobby 15 years ago and at the time of his death had become a Certificated Flight Instructor. Turning his passion into a profession, Anthony was selected to attend training to receive his Airline Transport Pilot Certificate (ATP), the PhD of Aviators. With this distinction, he was poised to start flying in the service of United Airlines Express on Monday, December 5. He was thrilled to be starting this second career.
Anthony also loved CrossFit and was a dedicated member of the community.
May his memory be a blessing.
