Dion Owings

Dion Rashad Owings was a young man from Dayton, Ohio, whose life touched those around him. Public memorial listings record Dion as 21 years old at the time of his death on December 19, 2001. While full details about his personal life, work, or family are not publicly available in an authored obituary, civic remembrance records show that his name is included among Montgomery County’s memorialized homicide victims for 2001, and burial references list him at Valley View Memorial Gardens in the Dayton area.

Though formal published tributes are not readily found in digitized local obituaries, the public records that do exist affirm that Dion was a real person whose loss was felt by his community. He is memorialized in county remembrance lists and in cemetery records that preserve his name and dates for family, friends, and future visitors. Those limited public references remind us that behind every entry in an official list there are relationships and ordinary days that mattered to someone.

This page honors Dion by preserving what is verifiable and treating his life with dignity. If you knew Dion and would like to contribute memories, photos, or corrections for a fuller remembrance, please consider contacting local memorial pages or the cemetery listed in the sources. May Dion’s memory be a quiet presence for those who loved him.
