Following the news of Fiona’s death, a source told PEOPLE on Sept. 30 that the teen’s school and community were coming together to honor her memory.
“The school and community are very inclusive, artistic, a warm place. Parents are friends and most are involved with the school. This is a devastating time for the community,” the insider told PEOPLE. “The Lowe family is very involved and are at many school functions.”
“Fiona was sweet, quiet and kind. Dance was her biggest passion. She had a very artistic soul,” the source added. “She was always kind to other students. Many of her friends are out today grieving.”
Another source told PEOPLE that Chad’s older brother, 62-year-old actor Rob Lowe, and the rest of the Lowe family are rallying around the Bones alum and his wife.
“Rob and Chad are very close. Their family and friends have rallied around Chad and Kim,” the insider said. “Everyone’s heartbroken.”
“They already went through so much with losing their home last year [in the Los Angeles wildfires],” the source continued. “Right now, the focus is on being there for them in any way they can.”
