Dennis Craig Owens, Sr. was born to our beloved parents Reginald Dennis Owens, Sr. and Janice Faye Garfield Owens on February 3, 1969, he was the youngest of 10 children. He passed away suddenly on December 4, 2019 of natural causes at his beloved wife’s home Phoebe McKay Owens who preceded him in death several years ago, as did his step son Daniel McKay.
Denny was a natural mechanic at fixing cars, washers, dryers, TV’s, anything he could do for anyone who needed his help. He was a firefighter for the Fort Peck Agency for many years. He made a lot of friends throughout his life, as he was always so kind hearted and always had an open door to many people whom he invited to stay at his home. Denny worked as an EMT for NEMHS alongside his brother Maynard and his niece Amber. He had been working on his GED and was a client of Spotted Bull Treatment Center. He belonged to the LDS Church. Denny’s favorite things were cruising around with his best friend Danny Renz, working on cars, and helping people. He was very proud of all of his nephews and nieces and their children.
Denny is preceded in death by our parents; his parents Phoebe; step son Daniel; sisters Daisy Fisher and April Owens; brother Reggie “Adam” Jr. He is survived by his son Denny Owens, Jr.; brothers Richard of Sweet Home, OR, Maynard (Avis), Alan (Sue) of Billings, Troy (Elissa); sisters Paula of Poplar and Christie of Yakima, WA.
Please forgive us if we forgot to mention anyone, it was not intentional.
He is no longer in pain but rather rejoicing in our Heavenly Father’s Kingdom now. Rest in peace baby brother, we love you and we’ll always miss your smile, laughter and jokes about “Got any change?” and “Got any mustard?”
