Carroll Dean Owens Sr. Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Carroll Dean Owens Sr. was born October 19, 1944 to the late Lowell Dean and Hazel Pauline Owens and passed peacefully from this life on August 3rd, 2022 surrounded by his loved ones. He is survived by his daughter, Elizabeth Rogers of Mammoth Spring; sons, Michael Owens of Searcy and Carroll Owens, JR (Amanda) of Cabot; sisters, Janice Estes of Brockwell and Betty Guthrie of Franklin; brother, Jerry Owens of Melbourne; 7 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents and a son, Sheldon Carroll Owens. He graduated from Oxford High School in 1961; four years later he married Linda Hall and began a family. They moved to Little Rock, AR, where he was employed as a parts manager for a Ford dealership and then later located to Moxee, WA to work in the hops field. After moving back to Arkansas, he dabbled in raising beef cattle, which he developed into a dairy farm in Brockwell. In addition, he hauled milk when it was still carried and delivered in metal cans. His CB handle was "Milkman.” Years later, the family moved to Mammoth Spring, AR, where he worked for Tindle Feed; then he drove a truck for Silica Sand out of Guion. With his new truck driving experience, he accepted a job opportunity to drive for Walmart out of Searcy, AR, which he retired from many years later. From Searcy he moved to Hector, AR and started a horse breeding business. He was a long-time breeder to the American Quarter Horse Association and the American Paint Horse Association. After many years of success, he decided to bring four of his beloved horses (Oreo, Rascal, Scout, and Katie) back to Searcy to finally enjoy a full retirement. Carroll has always been a hard working man. Even after his body was riddled with disease, he would still buy tractors, fix trucks, and sell horses, if only to occupy his mind while residing at the Crossing in Searcy. On the day of his passing the Lord blessed him with a new body and mind. He is now at rest. Arrangements entrusted to Powell Funeral Home of Searcy. www.powellfuneralhome.net
