Owens Marine Drum Major, Father, Husband, Brother, Son, and Friend FERRON - SSgt Charles E. Owens, 37, was taken from us in a tragic motorcycle accident May 1, 2008 in Joshua Tree, Calif.. Charley was born Oct 10, 1970 in Price, Utah to David and Sharon Owens of Ferron, Utah. His childhood was spent in Ferron on the Owens ranch. He loved ranch work and what it meant to be a cowboy. His late grandfather, Robert (Bob) Owens, was one of the biggest influences for Charley when it came to being a cowboy; listening to old stories, singing songs, feeding/milking cows, and breaking horses. As he entered High School, his love for music emerged with the marching band and the opportunity to begin his journey as a drum major. He graduated as Bandsman of the Year from Emery High School, Castle Dale, Utah in 1988, he attended Utah Valley State College for a year before “discovering” the Marine Corps. “Once I saw that Marching Band cross the parade deck, I knew THAT’S what I want to do!” said Owens. Staff Sergeant Charles (Chuckeddie) E. Owens enlisted in the Marine Corps in April 1990. In July 1991, he graduated the Basic Course at the Armed Forces School of Music in Norfolk, VA and reported for duty as a French horn instrumentalist with the Second Marine Division Band, Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. In May 1994, he was transferred to Parris Island, SC, for duty with the Parris Island Marine Corps Band. In December of 1998, he was transferred to the Armed Forces School of Music to attend the Ceremonial Conductor/Drum Major Course and graduated the course in June 1999 as the recipient of the Golden Mace award (an award given to the highest scoring Drum Major student), and was asked to remain at the School as an instructor. Staff Sergeant Owens transferred to Marine Corps Band, 29 Palms, Calif. in August 2001 for duty as the Acting Drum Major and in October 2003, reported to the Quantico Marine Band, Quantico, Va. His final transfer brought him back to 29 Palms, Calif., March 2008. Charley is remembered by loving family and friends all over the country.
