Carroll Dean Owen was born on December 17, 1935, in Meade, Kansas, to Charles Orville Owen and Vera Lucille Neville Owen. Carroll had five siblings: Keith, Marvin, Dorothy, Lorraine, and Shirley.

He married Patricia Jean Fenton on July 13, 1958. Carroll’s family always came first and was always his highest priority. He was involved with coaching baseball, was a Scout leader, and sponsored church youth groups. Carroll was loyal and loved to spend time with his friends. He had a quick wit and great sense of humor. He loved to laugh! Carroll was extremely competitive and loved to play just about any game. He enjoyed world travel, camping, woodworking, gardening, hunting, fishing (a highlight was halibut fishing in Alaska), and singing Barbershop - especially with a quartet. He was a devout Broncos and Rockies fan. It did not matter what you put in front of him, Carroll could fix anything.
