Mark Allen Owens, age 64, of Wildflower Lane, Morehead, passed away peacefully on Monday, April 20, 2026, at UK Medical Center in Lexington, following an extended illness.

Born November 18, 1961, in Mansfield, Ohio, he was the son of the late Buddie Owens and Ruth Pearl Peters Owens. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by seven siblings: Rev. Billy Ray Owens, Robert Owens, Margie Owens Burgy, Douglas Owens, Donald Owens, David Owens, and Frankie Wayne Owens.

Mark is survived by his devoted and loving wife of 43 years, Patricia "Trish" Combs Owens; a special daughter, Markie Adkins (Eddie) of Proctorville, Ohio; and a cherished grandson, Myles Adkins, who was the light of his life.

He is also survived by one brother, Buddy Gene Owens of Columbia, South Carolina; four sisters, Vivian Caudill, Patty Jo Owens, Elaine Owens (Phil Cheesebrough), and Sherry Sloan (Joe), all of Morehead; along with several nieces and nephews, extended family members, and many dear friends.

For more than 35 years, Mark served as the manager of Tri-County Liquors and had formerly worked for DAR Construction in Morehead. He was a 1980 graduate of Rowan County High School and a proud member of Morehead Masonic Lodge No. 654. Mark also enjoyed giving back to his community by hosting the Rowan County Christmas Golf Scramble.

He found great joy in playing golf, spending time at the lake, grilling out, and was well known for wearing shorts year-round. A devoted fan, he faithfully followed UK basketball and football. Above all, Mark was a true family man. He loved Christmas and cherished every moment spent with his loved ones, especially his role as "Pappy" to his grandson, Myles.

Mark's legacy of service, dedication, and integrity will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him. He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered.
