John D. Owens, age 90, passed from this life to be with his Savior, Sunday, July 1, 2018, at his home. He was born in Crystal Lake, FL, on January 23, 1928 to John W. and Cora Dee Atwell Owens. John D. lived his life as a public servant, working as a service member of the United States Navy where he retired at the rank of E7, and worked as an employee of the United States Post Office in Chipley, where he also retired.
As a member of the Wausau Assembly of God Church, John D. enjoyed singing in the choir. Because of his expert cooking skills, his dishes were popular at all the fellowship dinners – especially his chicken and dumplings, perfectly baked hams, and crispy fried fish and hushpuppies. He was a Sunday School teacher and a board member of the church for many years. At home he enjoyed outdoor activities such as fishing in his pond, gardening, mowing his grass, and tending to the flower beds.

His gracious spirit, which was demonstrated through his sincere concern for others, will be remembered by all who knew him.
