Joshua Paul Owens

Joshua Paul Owens was born May 9, 1983 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma to Don and Valerie Owens. Josh was a fun free spirited boy and man who always made everyone laugh... and that remained throughout his life. He was incredibly intelligent and creative, and his laughter was contagious. He had a love of music and drawing and was gifted in so many ways. He loved his family dearly and was very much loved in return.

He grew up in Spring, TX and Odessa, Texas and Kingman, Arizona. While living in Spring, he made a profession of faith in Jesus Christ and was baptized. Later he would become an entrepreneur who owned a very successful internet business that allowed him to travel extensively. He especially loved Ireland and always talked about going back there. Joshua's life ended suddenly while living in Odessa, Texas on December 29, 2017.

He preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Robert and Nancy Owens, and his maternal grandparents, Linus and Norma Moreau.
