Pastor Clinton Earl Owens, 77, of Junction City passed away on Friday, May 28, 2021.  Born April 24, 1944, he was the son of the late Hayman Luther and Mary Ethel Miller Owens.

Clinton is survived by his wife of 58 years, Constance Elaine Quick Owens; sons, David (Lisa) Owens of Virginia and Steve (Kim) Owens of Danville; daughter, Vicki (Bruce) Andes of Junction City; brother, Cleveland (Brenda) Owens of GA; 10 grandchildren; and 27 great grandchildren.  He was preceded in death by 12 brothers and sisters.

Clinton answered the call to preach at the age of 18 and pastored three churches.  He recently retired from Victory Baptist Church in Nokesville, VA where he served as senior pastor for 38 years.

He was a master carpenter by trade.  His hobbies included playing musical instruments, especially his guitar.  He also loved bee keeping and gardening, often sharing his "first fruits" with his neighbors and friends.  He was an avid outdoorsman.  He enjoyed riding his motorcycle, riding his grandchildren around on his tractor, and lending a hand to his children anytime they asked. He was a devoted husband, father, and papaw, but most of all, he loved his Lord.
