By Spring 2021, he would have completed his PhD from Concordia University Chicago. Owen provided Civil Engineering and
Architecture services, and surveyed development projects in Arizona and Utah. After he was injured in 2007 and could no longer continue work as a civil engineer, Owen decided to help youths with their dreams with positive externalities, as well as hosting and mentoring them. He also created jobs for folks that needed an extra push. Above all, he offered help in every way he could by staying in touch until they met their goals.
Owen was a man that spoke with authority; he was faithful, intelligent, loved to watch sports and followed political news. He enjoyed time with his family, was an avid reader, and enjoyed helping others. He valued and believed in the word of God and he always sleeked the truth. He will be greatly missed, especially his many hours of stories and lessons. He continued to reach out to youths despite medical issues. Owen passed on January 11, 2021 due to COVID-19. We love you Dad and we will miss you. ~Mommy Wynn, Darius, Tiffany, Emma, Leah, Skyler, Tara and Elias.
