Doyce D. Owens, of Beebe, Arkansas, took Jesus' hand and made his journey home Saturday, May 2, 2015, leaving his pain and suffering from cancer behind. He was born May 6, 1942, to Delpherd and Odean (Blasingame) Owens. Doyce was a born-again Christian and Baptist by faith. He cast out a lot of demons in his last years. His favorite saying was "Do as I say - not as I do". His greatest earthly joy was all his grandchildren. Doyce loved antique tractors and having a garden. He was preceded in death by his parents, and grandson, Kaiden. Doyce is survived by his loving soulmate, Linda (Fowler) Owens; one son, Rick Owens (Pam); daughters, Angie Rowden (Mark) and Cindy McColgan (Andrew); grandchildren, Linda (Henry) Lavoie, Tosha (Coy) Loftis, Matt, Ricky (Karen), Zack, John (Courtney), Jeremiah, and Houston Owens, Justin Rowden and Emily McColgan; great-grandchildren, Destiny and Hayley Lavoie, Dezirae, Ciara, and Jaden Loftis, Lexi Owens, Blaine Owens, Xavior Rowden and Noah Owens; three sisters, Shirley McKinney, Linda Marek (Dan) and Kathy Jackson.
