Michael Owens Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Lawson Funeral Home & Cremation Services - St. Petersburg on Sep. 23, 2025.

Publish in a newspaper

after a courageous 10 month battle with Qlioblastoma, brain cancer, Michael J. Owens passed away peacefully on September 17, 2025, surrounded by love. Mike is survived by his devoted partner, Terri Dewolfe; her children, Lynn Albee Soucie and Keith David Albee; and their children, his beloved grandchildren, Charlie Soucie, Isabel Soucie, Oakes Albee, Ella Albee; Mike's brother, Kevin Owens and his wife Joyce Owens and niece, Sarah Owens. Mike was a beloved partner friend, adventurer and storyteller. He shared his life in St. Petersburg, Florida with his adoring partner, Terri Wolfe, and their cherished dog Bently. Known for his gruff voice and soft heart. Mike was the life of the party and the kind of man who made friends feel like family. He exuded a free spirit, a zest for life and a warmth that made everyone feel welcome. After living in Malta and African Countries he carried a sense of wonder and wanderlust that shaped his life. These experiences cultivated a love for people and stories, and Mike had plenty of them.
