Actor Chad Lowe and his family are mourning a deeply personal loss. For the unversed, on September 29, 2026, it was reported that Fiona Hepler Lowe, Chad and his wife, Kim Painter’s teenage daughter, passed away. She was only 13 years old when she died by suicide. One can only imagine the pain that Chad Lowe is going through, especially since just two years before Fiona’s death, he gushed about being a girl dad.
Now, days after Fiona’s death, actor Rob Lowe’s youngest son, John Owen, who is her cousin, broke his silence on the incident.
John Owen shares a post about hope after his cousin, Fiona’s death
Rob Lowe’s son, John Owen, recently took to social media to share a touching message. The 30-year-old actor shared a snippet of Emily Dickinson’s poem Hope Is the Thing with Feathers in his Instagram Stories. The poem reads:
“HOPE is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul, and sings the tune without the words, and never stops at all. And sweetest in the gale is heard; and sore must be the storm that could abash the little bird that kept so many warm. I’ve heard it in the chillest land, and on the strangest sea; yet, never, in extremity, it asked a crumb of me.”
Previously, it was reported that Rob Lowe, Chad Lowe’s older brother, had “dropped everything” and rushed to the latter’s side when Fiona passed away. A source close to the actor told Naughty But Nice:
“Chad is his little brother, and the second he heard, Hollywood stopped mattering. There was nowhere else Rob was going to be except by Chad’s side.”
The source added that Rob Lowe knew there were no words to fix the tragedy that had already happened. He also knew that he couldn’t take away his little brother’s grief. This is why all Rob could do was be present for Chad and make certain that he never had to face this alone.
According to reports, Rob, along with close friends, had rallied around Chad and his wife during this difficult time. Another source said that everyone was heartbroken, and right now their focus was on being there for the couple in any way they can.
