JASON MICHAEL OWENS, 53, passed away on the morning of July 25, 2024. He was a man of many talents that emerged during his earliest years. He was sensitive, creative, loving, very artistically gifted and always with a keen eye for design. Throughout his life, he was a kind spirit and always generous. Jason had a great love for the outdoors. Even as a child, he was not afraid to sleep alone out in the woods. Early in his life he learned to immerse himself in nature, a love that carried him through many career journeys that included landscape design, outdoor experiential education and leadership in the design and instruction of a wide range of classes for environmental education in several northeast Ohio camps. His work as an educator and camp counselor imparted that same love of nature to hundreds of Ohio's children and youth.
Jason travelled widely for his adventures in the outdoors, even spending a year in Breckenridge Colorado which was his favorite area for its majestic beauty. He was an avid music fan as well, often accompanied by friends on his many road trips to rock concerts.
Jason was a friend and brother to many men, women and children, a father figure, uncle, and loving relative to his niece, nephews, and special cousins. He was always thinking about sharing his knowledge and his possessions to make their lives better. He will be profoundly missed by all. We love you so much, our son, brother, uncle and friend.
Jason is survived by mother and step-father Patricia Kellogg Owens and Douglas Paul Bliss, father and his husband Robert Evan Owens and Byung Moon, his twin brother, Robert Todd Owens, and his niece and nephews, Cassidy Blythe Poe, Dakota Quinn Owens and Zavier Elias Owens.
A memorial service is planned for 2:00 PM, Saturday, September 14th, 2024 at Camp Nuhop, 1077 Township Road 2916, Perrysville, OH 44864.

I was saddened to hear recently that Jason passed away. I knew him through my brother, John Francisco. Jason was a kind and caring man. I haven't had contact with him in years, but I have fond memories and thoughts of him.
My heart goes out to his family for their loss. Jason will be missed by so many. May he rest in peace.

My first memory of Jason was when Todd convinced me to join him to see a band in Columbus I had never heard of...Blues Traveler. We drove from Bethany in 1991 to be hosted by Jason. We were great friends by the end of the weekend! Just the best most caring person that I will always look up to.

So many memories come to mind when I think about Jason. If I have to pick one, it would be the many times he and his four legged friend Sabel would come and stay with John Francisco and I. His visits were always so special. So much fun and laughter. He was always to easy to talk to, such an incredible listener. I will miss him so much, but have some peace knowing he and Fran are together again.

I have so many memories of Jason, it´s hard to pick one. One of my favorites, though, was a weekend me, Jay, and John Francisco went camping down near OU. Nothing too shocking happened, but the whole weekend was kind of a comedy of errors. There was Jagermeister mixed with Spaghettios (don´t do it), some weird guy who came upon our campsite and freaked us out a bit, an exploding can in our fire, a encounter with bramble bush while looking for fire wood, etc. But we had fun and laughed until our faces hurt. Jay could always make it fun. He was a genuinely good person and he will be missed.
