John Henry Owen

John H. Owen Ill was born August 29, 1950 the son of Martha Moore Owen and John Henry Owen Jr. in South Boston, Va. He built a reputation for mischief and trouble until his late teens where he proudly served his country in The United States Air Force stationed at Udorn Airbase in Thailand during the Vietnam War. This service instilled a strong sense of purpose and discipline that was greatly applied to personal development and family. He earned his bachelor’s degree from Tusculum College. This led him to being able to finish his profession as an Engineer without an engineering degree. In that time, he raised and fathered three sons; Christopher Levoyd Owen, husband of Melissa of Gillette, WY, John Henry Owen IV, husband of Elizabeth of Katy, TX and Trevor Scott Owen of Houston, TX.

John was preceded in death by his above-mentioned mother and father as well as his sister Janet Scott Owen of South Boston, VA.

He is survived by his wife of 40years Frances Clary Owen of Sabinal, TX, his afore mentioned sons and seven grandchildren; Jayden Nicole Owen and Ashley Jardin Owen daughters of Christopher Levoyd Owen, Addison Estelle Owen, Kaiya Rae Owen, Anika Mae Owen, John Henry Owen V, and Korrine Esther Owen, daughters and son of John Henry Owen IV.

Some of his fondest memories were made with family, including but not limited to hosting the Clary/Meyer clan for Thanksgiving, hunting with Marty and the Clary boys, fishing with his sons, and attending iconic live music events with his wife.

He would encourage all that read this to save more money than you spend, to give your time to those you cherish, and not leave any regrets on the table.
