The Owens Homegoing:

Alfonso Delano Owens

March 22, 1919 - December 29, 2017

It's now official.... Alfonso (Alphonse) Delano Owens has now transitioned to be with the Lord.... He was 98 years young. Although we are grieving his loss from this earth, we are also YET rejoicing that the Lord had him to be with us for "His Appointed Time."

There's a saying in Africa that goes: "A Great Tree has fallen," and even this statement is an understatement.... Affectionately known as "Professor Owens" to many, and Mr. Owens to others, he will be SORELY missed.

Please take a look at the Homegoing Activities below, and if you can make it, please come! Please keep the Owens Family in prayer during this time of bereavement, as we will greatly appreciate it....
