The loss of Scott Owens, the adored husband of WRDW reporter Liz Owens and a committed father whose death has permanently and profoundly affected his family and all who knew him, is still mourned by Augusta, Georgia.
For his family, Scott's death—four months ago—was a life-changing event that broke the familiar rhythm of daily life and ushered in a time of intense grief, meditation, and resilience.
First and foremost, Scott Owens was a family man. To Liz, he was the partner she selected thirteen years ago—her steady support, confidant, and source of strength.
To their daughter, he was nothing short of a hero: a caring, consistent presence whose direction and attention molded her life. Friends and family say that Scott led with love, understated strength, and unending dedication to those he loved most. Central, grounding, and much treasured was his position in his family.
In a moving and honest meditation Liz Owens shared, she said how life "came to a screeching halt" with Scott's passing. Along with great grief, the loss raised several questions on how to go ahead, how to strike a balance between mourning and responsibility, and how to negotiate life as a single mother while honoring the life and passion they once shared.
Many found her words appealing since they presented a raw and honest perspective of the weight of grief and the bravery it takes to face every fresh day. Coming back to the WRDW newsroom after months gone was a really difficult one.
What had once felt familiar now bore the emotional weight of loss and transformation. Still, Liz chose to go back not only for her own sake but also for her daughter's. She hoped by this to show an eternal lesson Scott had instilled in their family: that even when the world seems shattered, strength and tenacity may yet emerge.
Resilience, courage, and optimism were her message. I am braver than I realize. I am stronger than I know. Words she wrote reflect both her own resolve and the legacy Scott left behind: I am still here. They are evidence of the love that goes beyond loss and the power derived from it.
Aside from his family's role, Scott Owens is also remembered for the values he stood for: love, commitment, and silent bravery. Though he is sorely missed, his legacy lives on via his wife and daughter, who keep honoring his memory by strength, intent, and love.
