Michael Owens Obituary
LaGrange - Michael William Owens, 37, lived life on his own terms, passionately. Above all, he loved and respected Mother Earth. He was a Native Soil Builder, Sustainable Landscape Architect, Farmer, Arborist, Artist, Musician and Beat Producer.
Michael passed away Thursday, August 20th from injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident.
He was born in Anaheim, California and was a resident of LaGrange from the age of two. He attended Holy Trinity, Arlington High School, and graduated from S.U.N.Y. Morrisville with a Bachelors Degree in Horticulture Business Management.
He took pride in his work, however his most cherished role was that of "Uncle" to his niece and nephew. He enjoyed spending time with his family and friends and cherished family traditions especially during the holidays.
He is survived by his parents Michael and Darlene Owens, his sister Kelly Owens, her children Ella and Mateo Javier of LaGrange, his grandmother Maureen Browne of NYC and several aunts, uncles, cousins and close friends from coast to coast. His spirit and the legacy of his life will live on in our hearts.
"Work with our Earth everyday and be reminded, that life itself is a celebration! -Michael W. Owens."
Church Service will be held at Holy Trinity Church on Saturday, August 29th at 10:00 A.M. Main Street, Poughkeepsie, New York. Donations in lieu of flowers can be made to Mohonk-Consultations.org.

Deepest condolences to Michael, Darlene, Kelly and the rest of Michaels family, whom he loved so very much..
I hadn’t spoken with Michael in years, but he has always and will always remain in my heart. My heart is filled with so many wonderful memories of our time together when I lived with Michael in Boulder Creek and Templeton. I had an ongoing joke that Michael was my “trophy boyfriend “ since he won so many awards for his great accomplishments in the plant world.
I loved learning and growing with him and I will always cherish those memories! I love you Owens family! Sending so much love and prayers your way! ❤
