A 17-year-old who became an honorary Marine<\/a> in November 2023 following a diagnosis of terminal bone cancer died Friday morning at his home in Georgia, according to his father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jack Lowe was born at Naval Hospital Twentynine Palms, California, and was about 5 years old when he decided he would become a Marine, Marine Corps Times previously reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was a disciplined kid, according to his father, Daniel Lowe: a straight-A student and a standout swimmer, who didn\u2019t have to be asked twice to do his chores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In March 2022, when he was a junior in high school, Jack Lowe was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer. He went through extensive radiation treatments and was deemed cancer-free six months later.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
