He left all of his family and friends February 26, 2019, in Robeline, LA. Hunter was a fun, witty soul that loved adventure. He is a true country boy at heart.
He dwelled in the outdoors and spent hours on end doing what he loved. From his livestock to endless fishing stories, Hunter got tickled and swayed that country boy voice often. As an only child, Hunter was his mom and dad’s pride and joy…although many heads butted, Hunter, instilled his dad’s values of work, family, and friends.
Becky instilled a big heart and how to be a kind soul. Hunter, like all boys, is a momma’s boy, and she cherished every muddy boot, footprint, and dirty britches washed. Hunter was also very active and creative.
He loved using his hands, whether building, playing with transformers, video games, fishing, showing cows, or hunting. Hunter was excited and pushed through every obstacle that he was faced with. Hunter loved and cherished each and every friend.
Hunter loved Jesus Christ, he loved his sayings and scriptures and was not afraid to show his faith and love of God. As Hunter quoted in 8th grade, “Life is too short to take things for granted; cherish every day like it is your last,”-Hunter Owens. Hunter trusted God’s plan.
