He was preceded in death by his parents, Charles and Mary Frances Owenby ; and his precious grandson, Spencer Bateman. Survivors include his loving wife of 52 years, Shirley Owenby ; sons and daughters-in-law: Chris and Tammy Owenby and John David and Amy Owenby ; daughter, Lisa and Chris Bateman; nine grandchildren: Casey and Jake Owenby , Zachary, Anna Grace and Addison Elizabeth Owenby , Charles, Benjamin, Caroline and Harry Bateman; aunts and several cousins.
