Michael Howard Owens

Services for Mr. Michael Howard Owens of Brookhaven are at 2:00 pm, Saturday, April 13, 2024, at Harmony Baptist Church with visitation from 11:00 am until the time of service. Burial will be at Fair River Baptist Church Cemetery.

Mr. Michael Howard Owens, 69, passed away on April 9, 2024, at the University Medical Center. He was born August 18, 1954, to the late Robert Howard Owens and Helen Boots Owens.

When he graduated from high school, he went to work offshore with his dad for the summer to save money for law school, but the summer ended, and he stayed for over 35 years. He loved his job and worked his way to the top. He was a member of Harmony Baptist Church and was proud of his work in the church. He studied late into Saturday nights to prepare for Sundays. It was important to him that his family knew God. He was an avid Harley Davidson fan. After retirement and finishing cancer treatment, he enjoyed riding his bikes. Yet, his greatest passion was his family.

Preceding him in death were his parents; his grandparents, Bert &Edith Dickerson, Raymond & Maude Owens, and son-in-law, John Franklin Branton.

 

Those left to cherish his memory are his wife Lisa Owens; children, Dusty Owens (Heather) Judd Owens (Jennie), Jasmine Branton, Devin Owens (Hayley) Caleb Owens, and Austin Runnels (Andrew); brother, Stanley Owens and sister Susan Davis (Atley), along with 14 grandchildren, Ty Branton, Kennedy Branton, Jackson Owens, Cameron Owens, Cayden Owens, Carter Owens, Myles Owens, Raegan Owens, Ryleigh Owens, Gannon Owens, Maevi Owens, Benson Owens, Saige Owens, Wyatt Runnels and 2 great-grandchildren, Brenna Branton, and Emerson Branton. He will be missed by all who loved him.
