“I was dead long before you were born, Conan, and I’ll be dead long before you’re dead.”
George Lowe, best known for voicing Space Ghost on Space Ghost Coast to Coast and Cartoon Planet has died at the age of 67.
While a statement from his family is forthcoming. While no cause of death has been given, according to friend and radio host “Marvelous Marvin” Boone, he had passed after “a long illness.”
I’m beyond devastated. My Zobanian brother and best friend for over 40 years, George Lowe, has passed away after a long illness. A part of me had also died. He was a supremely talented Artist and Voice actor. A true warm hearted Genius. Funniest man on Earth too. I’ve stolen jokes from him for decades. He stole some of mine. He was also the voice of Space Ghost and so much more. Pweeloto.

And it’s no surprise to find he’s not alone. Several people who have worked with him took a moment to remember him fondly today.
My heart is broken. George Lowe was one of the funniest people I’ve ever known and one of the nicest people to ever exist. You will be missed more than you know my friend. RIP.

Incredibly heartbroken to learn that long time broadcasting buddy George Lowe (Official) has passed away. One of the most creative and funniest people I’ve ever known. We worked together at Power 99 in Atlanta before he became the voice of #spaceghostcoasttocoast on the Cartoon Network. … I visited with him just recently at his home in Lakeland, Florida. So glad I got to see him one last time. If there is a heaven, he’s got ’em in [stitches].

Lowe would often cameo both as Space Ghost and as himself across numerous Adult Swim and Cartoon Network shows. Which makes sense, as there was no Adult Swim without Space Ghost, and there was no Space Ghost Coast to Coast without him.
Most recently, Lowe had reprised his most famous role for a 2024 episode of JellyStone!
