Not sure what to say?

My precious Owen, you are in my heart and soul every day and night. I miss you and look forward to being with you again my love.

We just saw this. Owen stood up for us at our wedding on May 5, 1977, in Nashville. He was a great friend, but we lost touch many years ago. May he Rest In Peace and rise in glory.

Gary you are loved and missed, It was always the greatest at holidays to see you at the family gatherings.. knowing you brought your guitar and all us kids begging for a song. You made all of them gatherings fond memories . Love, Scott Robinette

My dear friend, Owen. I didn't know you had left us until tonight. I find it very ironic that you passed away in August and our friend, Mike Robbins, passed away in October. I would like to think that you two have already started writing more songs. You were such a wonderful friend and neighbor and you will be missed so very much. I will always remember you with much love.

We so enjoyed Owen being here in Kansas City for his birthday! He shared many memories and lots of stories! We miss him! Ann Nickell and Staff

I met Owen back in the late 70s when we were both shepherding hordes of tourists all over Nashville as tour guides. As I got to know him, I realized that along with his talent for music,singing and songwriting, he was also a very good hearted person, a kind and gentle soul. I got a "real job", moved away, and we lost touch. I was stunned to see his obituary and can't help but wonder what happened. He was too young to go-the good die young cliche not withstanding. But reading others comments,...

While my dear Gary was in Kansas City, my friends Mona and Meri and I would go to where ever he was playing his guitar and singing. We would buy a bottle of wine and sit eating our crackers and cheese and sing along. We all stayed in touch for all these years and will miss his presence here on Earth so very much.
Love you forever, Gary Owen Davis.

Welcome Home
written by L J Coon

Welcome home my friend, from so much suffering
Welcome home my friend, step out of the pain
It’s ok to cry, we've all seen tears before
Its ok my friend welcome home

Talk of love one’s lost, so many years ago
And how you hurt inside, till no more tears would flow
Let the healing start, you can't...

Owen was loved by his friends so much here in Kansas City. He showed us the "house that built me" on 99th and Blue Ridge Blvd. when he was here to visit. He loved music, people and life. We will miss him so much! Ann and Nellie
