Disarmed with a Hug
C onTinued from f ronT
planned to harm himself. A sin-
gle bullet was found in the gun
and he never pointed the gun at
anyone but himself.
“Through the course of the
investigation it became clear
to law enforcement and our of-
fice that Mr. Granados-Diaz did
not have the intent to hurt any-
one other than himself while at
Parkrose High School,” Singh
said. In a statement from his
lawyer, the student thanked
Coach Lowe for what he did
that day, and said he wanted to
move forward in his life, in the
best way possible.
Lowe, who had been a stand-
out athlete at Jesuit High School
in southwest Portland, and was
a wide receiver at the Univer-
sity of Oregon from 2011 to
2014, earned the praise of his
former offensive coordinator
and wide receiver coach at Ore-
gon, Matt Lubick.
“He always found ways to
spring a big run, or spring touch-
down runs by running backs,”
Lubick said. “He was unselfish,
did everything he needed to do
to help out team win. Every sin-
gle day, he brought energy.”
Before coming to Parkrose
just a year ago, Lowe spent
time coaching for the NFL,
working first for the Philadel-
phia Eagles and then for the
San Francisco 49ers, but the
death of a close friend, who,
like Granados-Diaz, had men-
tal health and drug abuse prob-
lems, changed Lowe’s life.
Taylor Martinek was just 24
when he died of an accidental
opioid overdose, and led Lowe
to make the decision to come
back home and try to make a
difference in young people’s
lives.
Though he had no head
coaching experience, Lowe
was hired at Parkrose because
he convinced the hiring commit-
tee that he really wanted to give
back to his community.
“It’s a small, forgotten
school,” Lowe told ESPN. “Not
a lot of winning, not a lot of tra-
dition, not a lot of great things
from an athletic standpoint in the
last 30 years. That’s what attract-
ed me to the place.”
Drake Shelton, assistant prin-
cipal at Parkrose who recruited
Lowe for his job, said he’ll nev-
er forget the moment he encoun-
tered Lowe after Granados-Diaz
had been arrested.
“He looked at me, almost like
he was in a football game, and
he said, ‘That’s why you brought
me here!’ And he banged his
hand against his chest. Me and
him both do that to each other. It
was one of those things, like he
scored 10 touchdowns. Because
he’d just been in the fight of his
life.”
Lowe’s mother, Jen Lowe,
said she knows that her son is at
Parkrose for a good reason.
“A lot of times we don’t know
why we are where we are, but
everything happens for a rea-
son,” she said. “It’s amazing all
of it happened and his life lead-
ing up to it prepared him for that
specific moment. He acted. In-
stinctively, he acted.”
Dominique “Domo” Forrest,
who was best friends with Lowe
and Taylor Martinek when they
all played ball at Jesuit, said
Lowe is a model human being.
“He’s an example of what
people should be doing,” For-
rest said. “People should want
to go to the schools and help
where they’re needed the most.
People should want to hug the
kids who need the most love.
Spread love and give love and
save people and provide hope
in environments like that. That’s
Keanon. His life prepared him
for that, and is preparing him to
do more.”
