Dear Audrey and family. I was deeply saddened to read of Doug's death. During our "walking days" I came to know your family well. He fought the good fight as did you. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. "May the Lord bless you and keep you; may the Lord shine His face upon you and be gracious to you; may the Lord turn His face upon you and grant you His peace." Many hugs and love .... Pat Schmitz.
Dear Owen Family Members, I'm very sorry for the loss of Mr. Owen!! I loved getting to have him in Driver's Ed and then I think my Year I actually graduated 1986 -1987 was either when he was starting, or when Kim My Wife Graduated 1989 - 1990 he began Being the great Assistant Principal anyway I had a blast and as much as I was bullied from my Seizure Disorder it was great having him as a great fun gossip friend and when I was needing to have a back up person to go and talk to he was always there!! So I give my love and respect to you guys and until we meet again someday Doug love and miss you and Rest in Peace, your student David

My dearest Audrey and family of Doug Owen,
I was so sorry to learn about Doug's passing! He will be missed by all who knew him. My heart is with you.
Also- I absolutely love this picture! It shows his ornery side!
Mr Owen brought me into the educational world! He hired me as a school nurse. respected my input. An avid team player. Blessings........ Tami Leavens
My memory is that Doug was a professional who was fair and even in his judgments and treatments of students. He will be missed by many.

When I came to CHS as an associate principal in 1983, Doug was a driver ed teacher who became a fishing partner up on Smooth Rock Lake in Canada. We caught and ate walleyes until we were tired! When I was selected principal of CHS in 1986, he was my first hire as associate principal. Over the years, we fished, laughed, learned, and helped make CHS “a great place for students to learn and grow.” Together, we started 3.0 Club to honor students for academic achievement. Doug was more than an associate principal; he was a smart, caring, and hardworking friend that I could count on to run the school, hire quality staff members, and take care of school discipline in a fair and caring manner. He was “my rock!” I want to wish Audrey, Matt, Andy, Megan and Ben the very best. He was a good man. He was my friend. I will miss him the rest of my life. Larry and Liz Howe
My deepest sympathies to the Owen family. Doug is such a huge part of my CHS memories! From my years as a student in Driver's Ed... to the years as a new teacher with him as a mentor both as teacher and then later as an administrator. He will always be remembered as the voice of the Royal River King Band and for his annual "ode" at the our teacher meeting. It was always creative, entertaining and most of all made us smile!! Anyone who remembers the "ode" can probably quote at least the final line! Truly honored to have known this amazing man!!
