Mr. Owens was a native of Talladega where he spent most of his life. Kenneth proudly served in the Army National Guard for five years. He was a member of Immanuel Baptist Church where he served as an Elder and oversaw the grounds and maintenance. A mechanic by trade, he retired from Sunny King Toyota after over 40 years of service. True to his profession, Kenneth enjoyed remodeling old cars and had a deep love for his truck. His other hobbies included hunting, fishing, being outdoors, singing, and doing karaoke. He was an avid University of Alabama football fan, and he loved his pets, Harley, Lucy, and Haley. Mr. Owens would do anything for anyone and could always be counted on to do things the right way. He was a family man who loved spending time with his children and grandchildren. He made sure that they each felt special, especially on their birthdays which he never forgot. Kenneth was a devoted husband, father, and "Paw-Paw" who will be missed deeply.
