Rest, dear loved one …

Dennis Owens

Dennis was a person of great knowledge, practicing law privately for 20 yrs at Smith Maley & Douglas and 17 yrs at American Family Insurance. He also distinguished himself through teaching Commercial Law at IUPUI.

Through his years as a student at Indiana University School of Law, he was a Research Clerk at the Indiana Judicial Center; a Legal Intern for Chief Judge William E. Steckler of the United States District Court, Southern District of Indiana; and served as a Law Clerk to the Honorable George B. Hoffman, Jr., Indiana Court of Appeals. Dennis graduated Magna Cum Laude.

Beloved husband of 52 yrs to Juanita, father of Heather, Angela, & Kyle (Lindsay); grandfather of Noah, Alec, Levi, Rex, Bradley & Josephine, Dennis enjoyed imparting to them in-depth knowledge for skills of life, mentoring them through scouts, golf, baseball, school, etc. His mind was exceptionally astute for remembering almost every detail of events through life.

The Owens’s greatest joy was their family’s participation in Old Bethel’s Celebration Puppeteers Ministry, spanning 20 yrs.

Raised in Tipton, Indiana, son of Leroy & Ruby, Dennis was brother to Steve (Carol), Billy Joe & Doug, and proud uncle of many nephews & nieces. Dennis was preceded in death by his parents, brother Steve, and grandson Rex.

Dennis’s last few words spoken to Juanita,

We love you, too, Denny.
