I’m saddened to hear of Owens passing. He was such a sweet kid and always provided me with lots of smiles when he was one of my students at School of New Hope many years ago. My sympathy and prayers for comfort go out to all of his family.

I am so sorry to hear about Owen. I went to school with him and have thought about him over the years. I worked in a burn unit in the Army (San Antonio/BAMC). I used to teach my patients about their garments(wearing/purpose) because of Owen. He was an upstanding fellow. Prayers for the family for comfort and peace.

Owen I'll always treasure the last time we got to spend together, rain on the tin roof and sweet tea - the strength you showed and the concern you had for those u would leave behind. Kyle and Callie will keep rooting for the Hogs,we will work on Shelby and Brandon. I Love you and am so glad you were my cousin, I do not think you ever met a stranger maybe u took that after your Uncle Hobo. Give Daddy and Tyler a hug for me. Tell your Mama I miss her chocolate gravy. You never gave up, always in my heart Kelley
