Gene Owen Obituary, In Loving Memory Of Gene Owen

Gene Owen Obituary, Death – On the occasion of Gene Owen’s passing, we would like to extend our most sincere sympathies to each and every member of the organization. During the early phases of this BCH chapter’s development as well as during its later expansion, Tina Owen and Gene Owen, both, held the position of officer for a significant length of time between the two of them. Our thoughts and prayers are with Tina and the rest of the family as they go through this difficult time; the equestrian community has been dealt a significant setback as a result of this news.

Vining Hill in Eatonton will be the location of the funeral on Friday, and it will take place there. Owen served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War.
