He was preceded in death by his wife of 45 years Linda Corum. He was a member of Masonic Lodge Fortitude #47, and had a strong love for the Lord.
Skip is survived by his son Jerome Travis Owen (Mary) and daughter, Melanie Reynolds; Two granddaughters, Raelynn Marie Reynolds, and Kassandra Marie Parker (Jordan); brother, William Corum (Sandy); nephews, Jason Corum (Carolyn) and Aaron Corum (Nikki).
Skip had an extended family in his lodge brothers, people who cared for him over the years and friends that were like family. He never met a stranger, loved a good cup of coffee with a cigarette, and was a joker to the end. He will be greatly missed.
