Joe David “Thunder” Owens, 71, of Anderson, SC, passed away on Tuesday August 19, 2025, at his home.
Born on January 24, 1954, he was the son of the late Joe and Bobbie Sue Owens. David was in the autobody industry for over 50 years where he reached professional status and had many apprentices under him for those many years. He knew a few things well: cars, animals, people, southern eating, and his Z71 Chevy Truck. David was full of love, and not just for his family, but for the many animals he cared for as well.
Davis is survived by his Fiancé: Robin Gymer; Children: David Travis Owens, Mindy Owens and Jake Owens; Stepson: Samuel Holland; Sisters: Gail Barrett and Patti Shiflett; Grandchildren: Zoie Owens, James Painter, Gavin Hill, Kye Owens, and Nova Owens; as well as many nephews.
In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his Sister: Kelly Owens.
A memorial will be held in his memory on Monday, 09/01/2025 from 3pm – 5pm at the Outpost located at 107 Whit Chamblee Road Starr, S C. 29684. Instead of flowers, please bring a dessert in Dad’s memory!
The Sosebee Mortuary and Crematory is assisting the family with the arrangements.
