Brian loved life. He enjoyed traveling, adventures, fishing, hunting, and trying different food throughout the states. He had a passion for collecting guns, going to gun stores, and attending gun shows. Most of all, he loved his family immensely. Brian worked tirelessly both at his job and at home, always striving to provide everything his family needed and wanted. His love, dedication, humor, and generous spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew him. We take comfort in knowing he is at peace in the presence of the Lord, hearing "Well done, my good and faithful servant."

He leaves behind to cherish his memory his beloved wife, Amanda; children, Corina (Timothy) Shahan and Robby (Rechel) Walker; his granddaughter / daughter, Nahayla Jae, grandchildren, Aierie Kaelix, Connor Ryan, and Robert Legend; parents, Larry Jack and Mary Ann Owens; his brother, Michael (Melissa) Owens; father and mother in law, Edward E. and Patricia D. Stevens; brother in law Anthony Ray Stevens; his sisters in law, Teresa (Mike) Thomas and Misty (Jesse) Rogers; along with a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family, and dear friends.
