Owen Woodrow Williams

Born on April 20, 1963, Owen was a person whose existence radiated with an unquenchable passion for love and life. His affinity for the simple pleasures was exemplified by his unwavering devotion to coffee, an elixir that remained a steadfast companion through the highs and lows of each passing day. Regardless of circumstances, a cup of coffee was an indispensable part of Owen's routine, a comforting ritual that unfailingly brought solace and energy. Animals held a unique place in Owen's heart, particularly the feline and canine companions that shared his life's journey. Cats and dogs were not merely pets to him, but cherished members of his extended family, offering unwavering companionship and an unconditional bond that warmed his soul. Equally endearing were babies and children, whose innocent smiles and playful spirits never failed to evoke a sense of joy and tenderness in Owen. His interactions with them were a testament to his innate ability to connect, nurture, and spread happiness. Superman, with his symbol of strength and heroism, resonated deeply with Owen. The character's ideals of courage and justice served as a source of inspiration, embodying qualities that Owen admired and aspired to embody in his own life. Beyond fictional heroes, Owen's love was all-encompassing, extending to the realm of food. A connoisseur of flavors, he relished a diverse array of cuisines, each dish telling a story of culture and tradition that he eagerly explored with every bite. Sports brought another dimension of fulfillment to Owen's life, with softball being a passion he pursued whenever opportunity arose. The camaraderie of teammates and the exhilaration of the game fueled his competitive spirit, while also fostering friendships and memories that enriched his journey. A remarkable facet of Owen's character was his proficiency in sign language, a skill that exemplified his willingness to connect with individuals from all walks of life, and communicate in a unique way.

Owen's legacy is one of love, connection, and an unwavering zest for life's myriad experiences. His fondness for the everyday wonders, his compassion for animals and people, his admiration for fictional and culinary delights, his dedication to sports, and his commitment to communication all combine to paint a portrait of a truly remarkable individual who embraced life with an open heart and an unbridled enthusiasm that touched the lives of all fortunate enough to know him.

In addition to his parents Owen was preceded in death by one sister, Martha Anne Williams.

Those left to cherish Owen’s memory include his sister Linda Thomas and her partner Mike Foster; his special caregiver Dee Martin; and many other nieces, nephews, family and friends.
