Mr. Owen was born February 1, 1958, in Union, to the late Richard A. Owen, Sr. and Barbara West Owen. Rick was a very proud old schooler, with real spirit and an endless supply of energy. He spent the majority of his adult life building a career doing what he loved, working with wood, as a cabinetmaker. Rick loved his family and enjoyed his lone hobby, fishing, whenever he could.

"Tripp" Owen, III (Felicia) of Spartanburg, Daniel Andrew "Dru" Owen (Taylor) of the home, and Christopher David Scott (Kelly) of Prosperity; three grandchildren, Richard A.

Also, a special thank you to the staff and nurses of Spartanburg Regional Hospice Care, with genuine and heartfelt thanks to the very special Ms. Cheryl Webb, RN, the primary caregiver who Rick was so grateful for.
