IN MEMORIAM

Errol Cross McDowell

January 19, 2000 - June 13, 2018

On June 13th, our beloved son Errol Cross McDowell, 18, died in our arms at home in Pebble Beach, California, after a six year fight with brain cancer. Errol waged his battle courageously and with grace, wit and selflessness, just as he lived his short glorious life. We loved him so and shall miss him forever.

Errol was unique, an emblem of all that is good; he sacrificed his own health while enduring one after another clinical trial to cure his cancer. Often he was the first person to submit to a specific therapy, knowing that while he might not survive, he would be advancing science that could lead to a cure for other children. Errol was a creative prodigy, playing Joplin on the piano at ten years old, making his own short films, drawing constantly, and reading voraciously. He appeared in two off Broadway plays and three movies (including the ribald Joe Dirt 2!) and co-wrote one book, Brain Frizzlers. His musical taste spanned the generations from Maroon Five to Dinah Washington and Chet Baker. His favorite books were The Great Gatsby and Noah Dietrich's The Amazing Mr. Hughes. He loved his parents Tori and Rider, twin brothers Mac and Piers, his wonderful friends, his aunts and uncles, cousins, his grandparents Rita and Sam and Bill and Betty, Sam's weekly draw
