Louis Robert Owen was a great man and the best dad anyone could ask for. I love you daddy and miss you so much
I will never forget Louis coming to my graduation on a beautiful Saturday morning. He sought me out as we were lined up to process in the quad and gave me a congratulatory hug. That meant a lot. He and Robin were in our small group from our church. I don't know if he was able to stay for the ceremony, but he took the time and effort to seek me out and let me know how proud he was that I was gradutating from Belmont at the age of 45. Lois Stone
Louis and I grew up together playing sports, starting in Little League and continuing through high school at Isaac Litton. He was one of the nicest and upstanding people I've ever known. I've never heard anyone say anything negative about him, nor could they.
R.I.P Louis.

Louis and I were friends from the time we met at Litton Jr. High School and on through Litton Sr. High where we played football together. Louis was always very calm. I don't recall an instance when he 'lost his cool'. He was a leader 'not by what he said' but 'by what he did'.
When we were about 14 or so, Louis changed my life one night by what he said to me. I had bragged about something I had done that was wrong. Louis quietly said to me, "Jerry, you know that's not right." Those were the 'right words at the right time' and I took heed. I did a 180 and determined that beginning then I would always attempt to 'do the right thing'. His words got me back on the right track and I attempted to always stay on that track. Much later in life, I learned that The Holy Spirit had given Louis those words to speak to me.
I heaven, "the first shall be last and the last shall be first". I'll be near the last in line but I'll be seeing Louis up near the front.
May God (Father, Son & Spirit) comfort all who knew and loved this humble man.
Shalom, Jerry Morris
Louis was a great person and friend to all. I believe he will finally be able to throw some more passes to Wayne Jackson and is again Qbing for Coaches Harris and Herschel Moore. Hopefully, I will join them when I leave this Earth, too
Louis was one of my favorite people and classmate at Litton. He was such a fine gentleman and friend. He will be sadly missed. Much love goes out to Robyn and their family. Love, Bonnie Ragan Cassetty
