Seasoned voice performer and humorist George Lowe, renowned for voicing Space Ghost in "Space Ghost Coast to Coast," passed away Sunday, March 2, his representative verified to Deadline. He was 67.
His close companion "Marvelous Marvin" Boone shared a heartfelt message on Facebook: "I'm utterly heartbroken. My Zobanian brother and closest friend for over 40 years, George Lowe, has died after an extended illness. A piece of me died too. He was an incredibly gifted Artist and Voice performer. A genuine warm-hearted Genius. Earth's funniest man too. I've borrowed jokes from him for decades. He borrowed some of mine. He also voiced Space Ghost and much more. Pweeloto."
Born in Dunedin, FL, Lowe secured his first radio position with local station WWJB at age 15. He did periodic voice work for TBWS and Cartoon Network from the late 1980s to mid-1990s before securing his defining role as Space Ghost in 1994 when "Space Ghost Coast to Coast" launched on Cartoon Network.

It returned in 2001, showing on Adult Swim's late-night block until 2004.
Lowe also provided Space Ghost's voice in the spinoff "Cartoon Planet," as well as "Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters." He worked on "The Brak Show," where he was a regular cast member voicing Dad, and appeared in "Robot Chicken," among other shows. His most recent Space Ghost performance was in a February 2024 episode of Max's "Jellystone."
