Brandon

Daniel Lee Owens, 30, died Friday, August 15, 2014. Visitation is 10 AM Monday, August 18th at Ott & Lee Funeral Home, 1360 W. Government Street (Hwy 80) in Brandon. Services will be at 11:00AM Monday, August 18th at the funeral home with burial to follow at Crestview Memorial Gardens at 1106 Star Road, Brandon, MS.

Daniel was a Marine that served from 2003-2007 in Iraq and Okinawa, Japan. He grew up attending Crossgates Methodist Church in Brandon and most recently was a member of Restoration Church in Flowood, MS. Daniel enjoyed life to the fullest and had a fearless, free spirit. He was a fun-loving young man that enjoyed music and playing instruments. He was a graduate of Brandon High School where he was a member of the varsity golf team. In addition to golf, he loved all sports but most particularly hunting and fishing in the great outdoors. He was at his happiest spending time with family and his adorable daughter, Addison, who favors both his looks and his spirit.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Ethel Dean Owens and Ronald and Libby Wright. Survivors include his daughter, Addison, age 4, his parents Gary and Ronna Owens, his sister Leslie Owens, his paternal grandfather Emmett H. Owens, Sr. and multiple aunts, uncles and cousins.

Memorials can be made in Daniel's honor to Restoration Church, P.O. Box 320757, Flowood, MS 39232.

Had some damn good times in both rock ridge and LeJeune with you brother. You epitomized our core values of honor, courage, and commitment and were an all around a good fellow. Death comes for us all, and at the most unforeseeable times... I'm just glad to say that we lived it up together and that your memory and life are carried on in us, the lucky few.

My deepest condolences to the family.

It comes too soon, but, I, as well as others in the U.S. greatly appreciate the sacrifice that has been given in our behalf. May the Lord give each of you of his family strength in the days ahead.
