Owen graduated from Eastern Christian High School and Calvin College now Calvin University. He was a member of Sussex Christian Reformed Church and served as a deacon until he made the move to Pennsylvania to be closer to his grandchildren. He most recently attended Redeemer Orthodox Presbyterian Church in Danville, PA.
Owen was an avid reader of Scripture who would readily engage in theological discussions or sharing his faith. One of his favorite activities was sharing his faith and experiences at local drug and alcohol rehab centers as he celebrated 46 years of sobriety himself. He volunteered much of his time serving within his church communities and sharing his gifts of singing and preaching as a choir member and lay leader. When he was not serving the Lord, you could most often find him at a coffee shop enjoying a few cups of coffee and chatting with the staff and regulars at many local establishments.
A private burial will take place at Frankford Plains Cemetery in Augusta, NJ. A memorial service will be held at Sussex Christian Reformed Church, Sussex, NJ at 11:00 am on Saturday, February 25, 2023.
