Larry M. Owens went to be with the Lord today, April 12, 2015, after a brave two-year battle with lymphoma.
Larry was first a faithful follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. He loved Jesus with all his heart!!
He was an inspiring husband, father, friend, brother, son and life partner to his wife of 40 years, Bev.
Larry loved encouraging everyone he met. He served as a greeter for 10 years at Bay Community Church in Daphne and had a smile for everyone he met.
He was an Auburn graduate in 1968, receiving his BA in accounting. He retired from Mobile Infirmary Health System in 2012 to enjoy his life fully in beautiful Fairhope.
He loved freely and was devoted to God, family and serving others. His kindness and gentleness was felt by those who had the privilege of knowing him.
Even though Larry was at heart a quiet, shy person, he loved people and was always glad to give a helping hand to anyone in need. He will be missed by all of his family, friends, neighbors and his brothers and sisters in Christ at Christ United Methodist Church, Bay Community Church and 3 Circle Church.
Larry leaves behind his wife, Bev; son, Scott; sisters, Jeannette Ferguson and Julia Owens Moore; brothers-in-law, Griffin Moore and James R. Hardy; sister-in-law, Marietta Jane Hardy; and many nieces and nephews, beloved relatives and friends. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
The visitation will be held at 3 Circle Church on April 14, 2015, at 1 p.m., followed by the funeral service at 2 p.m. at 3 Circle Church in Fairhope.
His burial will be at Jubilee Cemetery in Daphne.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made to the American Cancer Society, P.O. Box 22718, Oklahoma City, OK 73123-1718, or at www.cancer.org.
