Randall Kenneth "Randy" Owens

Randall Kenneth “Randy” Owens October 1, 1955 – February 2, 2025 Randell Kenneth "Randy" Owens, a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, passed away peacefully on February 2, 2025, at the age of 69. A lifelong resident of the Rossville area of Northwest Georgia, Randy was affectionately known as "Pawpaw" to many, a nickname that reflected the deep love and connection he shared with his family. Randy's life was marked by strength, resilience, and unwavering devotion. He faced life's challenges with remarkable grit and grace, inspiring those around him with his calm demeanor and determination. He found joy in simple pleasures, from the taste of a perfectly ripe tomato to the enjoyment of a well-told joke, but especially treasured time spent with his loved ones. For 40 years, Randy shared an enduring love with his wife, Judy Owens, who was his constant support and partner. Their relationship was a beacon of commitment and a testament to the power of lasting love. He was incredibly proud of his daughter, Melissa Owens, and his son-in-law, Tommy Edwards, whom he considered a son. And his stepdaughter, Tonya Hale. He cherished his role as Pawpaw to his grandchildren: Austin Edwards, Sara Edwards, Destiny Taylor, Aaron Taylor, Megan Edwards, Emily Edwards, Grace Edwards, Brandon Campbell, and Timothy Campbell. His joy was multiplied by his great-grandchildren: Jackson Edwards, Braydon Taylor, Isabella Edwards, Justin Taylor, Noah Taylor, and Serenity Campbell. Randy now joins his loved ones in heaven and will be dearly missed by his surviving sister and brothers, Tim Owens, Teresa Flynn, and Damon Flynn. He was preceded in death by his mother, Iris B. Flynn; his father, Kenneth Owens; his sister, Priscilla Morgan; his brothers, Darryl Flynn and Danny Owens; and his grandchildren, Wesley Campbell, Justin Edwards, and James Edwards. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him. Randy retired from Shaw Industries after many years of dedicated service. The kitchen was truly Pawpaw's happy place. For over 30 years, his kitchen table served as the heart of family gatherings, overflowing with food and love – a testament to his generous spirit. He had a gift for lifting spirits, offering unwavering support, and finding the silver lining in every situation. He instilled in his family the importance of resilience, positivity, and unwavering self-belief. He was the anchor that held the family together.
