Gregg Howard Owen, 56, of Charlotte, passed away December 8, 2023.
A native of Buncombe County, he was a son of June Myers Owen and the late Robert Harrison Owen, Jr. He was also preceded in death by one brother, Robert H. "Tripp" Owen, III.
In addition to his mother, Gregg is survived by his daughter, Camryn Marie Owen, to whom he was a loving and dedicated father, and one brother, Scott Owen.
Gregg was a 1985 graduate of TC Roberson High School and went on to earn his undergraduate degree and MBA from UNC-Charlotte.
Gregg had many hobbies and passions. He loved photography and owned Professional Photography Services, where he specialized in photography and videography for weddings and special events. He also enjoyed skiing and ski racing, boating, golf, tennis, camping and listening to live music and concerts. He loved his dog, McKenzie and spending time with family and friends. Gregg was very social, never met a stranger and had a goofy sense of humor. He enjoyed doing business and was a kind landlord over several rental properties. Gregg had a special love for both Asheville and Charlotte and he traveled between the two frequently.
A Memorial Service to celebrate Gregg's life will be held starting at 2:00 PM on Sunday, December 17 in the Chapel of Groce Funeral Home at Lake Julian. His family will greet friends in the main hall of the funeral home immediately following the service.
In lieu of flowers, the family graciously asks that memorial donations be made to either The ALS Association (www.als.org) or to a charity of one's own choice.

Gregg was our neighbor for more than 20 years, and we are so saddened at his passing. I enjoyed our mailbox chats which usually included updates on the wildlife we had seen recently in our yards. I remember his sweet dog McKenzie who sometimes got out and came over for a visit. Gregg had a gentle spirit and was a good neighbor. We will miss him.
