Joshua "Josh" Corbin Owens

MANSFIELD: Joshua "Josh" Corbin Owens, 22, of Mansfield, passed away just after midnight, Saturday, February 7, 2015. He is now safe and healed in the arms of his Savior, Jesus Christ. He was born September 5, 1992, in Mansfield, Ohio, and graduated from Mansfield Christian School in 2011. He attended North Central State College and Lee University in Tennessee pursing a degree in music ministry.

Josh was an inspirational young man who was always smiling and could brighten anyone's day. His generosity and leadership were second to none. Josh was a member of the Prayer Team at both NCSC and Lee University and also was actively involved with the Ohio and West Virginia Children's Church Camps through the Church of God of Prophecy. He was an outstanding member of Abundant Grace Fellowship where he was a Bible School Leader and led the Youth Services with his music.

An accomplished musician, playing the piano, trumpet and drums, he was a member of the concert and pep bands at Mansfield Christian School. Although he had the ability to play several instruments, the piano was his passion. Josh leaves an incredible legacy of strength and of maintaining a positive outlook in the face of adversity. His example will be remembered by all who knew him.

He is survived by his mother, Robin Hay Owens of Mansfield; two brothers, Dylan Owens (fiancée, Brittany Duffey) of Mansfield and Ron Owens of Los Angeles, CA; father, Ronnie Owens of Mansfield; grandparents, Pete and Rose Holkenborg and Charles and Joy Hay, all of Mansfield; several aunts, uncles and cousins; and good friends, Coryn Henson of Columbus and Kara Fairchild of Mansfield. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Blake and Mag Owens.

The family will receive friends from 4-8 p.m. Tuesday, February 10, 2015, in the Ontario Home of Wappner Funeral Directors, 100 S. Lexington-Springmill Rd. A funeral service will be held Wednesday at 1:00 p.m. in Abundant Grace Fellowship, 1080 W. Longview Avenue, Mansfield. Rev. Dr. Joseph Bathe and Pastor Fred Robinette will conduct the service. Burial will follow in Mansfield Memorial Park. Memorial contributions may be made in care of the family.

My heart is broken of the news and yet I know Josh is in a better place. Josh would always come to my room at Malabar and help me in any way he could. He was such a cute sweet boy. I really cared for him so much. May God hold you close at this time. Stacey Hubbard

Dear Ron and Family:
It was comforting to read the obituary of Josh and see a young man full of faith and direction in his life. This separation from Josh at this time is just temporary. May you feel the comfort of The Holy Ghost (John 14:26) during this time of grief.
