Timothy Owens - U.S. Military

Timothy Owens
Sgt. Timothy Owens, age 37, died on April 2, 2014, while on duty at Fort Hood, Texas.

He was shot by Spc. Ivan Lopez, age 34, who also shot and killed 2 other soldiers and wounded 16 more during an apparent mental meltdown. He was either suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or some other very serious mental disorder. He had exchanged words with several other soldiers, then went and got a gun and started shooting. Ivan Lopez later committed suicide.

Tim dropped out of high school in 1995 but earned his GED diploma after joining the Army in 2004.

Family members said that Tim always wanted to be in the military. He was just into the military mindset. 

Timothy's family are devastated over his sudden and senseless death. He will be 
Light a candle for Tim. Light his
way to Heaven. 
forever mourned.

Timothy is survived by many loving friends and family members including but not limited to his mother, Mary Muntean; 2 surviving siblings; his wife, Billie Owens; and a 12 year old son from a former marriage.

Tim had also recently found out that he had an older sister who had been given up for adoption decades earlier.

Thank you for serving, Tim.

Pray for all who die by misadventure. They are with us one moment and gone the next.

God save us from the Lost Ones who bring death to strangers. They are killing us, Father.

Pray that Timothy is in heaven. Pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen.
