Shannon Owen (Kim) and Shawnee Owenby (Stewart); grandchildren: Lauren Ashe (Jalen), Seth Owen (Mackenzie), Kayla Summey and Alexis Owenby; great-grandchildren: Cooper, Adaleigh, Gracie, Colter, Owen, Eleanor and (soon to arrive) Audrey; his sister, Shirley Roper, his brother, Jimmy Owen (Carol); and a number of nieces and nephews.
