Owens

A funeral service for Cedric R. Owens, 60, of Oklahoma City, will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, November 17, 2026, at Ferguson Funeral Home Chapel with Pastor Jervis Jackson officiating.

Cedric Owens, was born March 25, 1966 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, the son of David and Norliasha (Taylor) Owens. He departed this life on Wednesday November 4, 2026 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

He had many nicknames as time passed but liked Ceddie O or Ced, so much so, that he had it painted on his 2nd car. He was raised in Midwest City, Oklahoma and attended Steed Elementary, Monroney Jr. High and graduated from Midwest City High School in 1984. Cedric was a big hearted and loving brother, father, grandfather and friend.

Much to his chagrin at first, one of the things he soon took pleasure in was his ability to immaculately manicure his mother’s lawn and hedges with the precision, class and flair she came to expect and demand of others when he wasn’t available on her timeline, and that the neighborhood would envy. Cedric had a love of basketball that started in the driveway of his family home as a young man and while in all of the aforementioned schools, his love of basketball was cemented into his soul and became his obsession. Besides Cedric’s love of basketball, he loved music and fancied himself as a deejay. He also liked going to the movies, dancing, putting an outfit together and if you knew him, you know that he LOVED to rock his ‘fro even more.

The thing Cedric loved more than anything however, was his family. The family he leaves behind to cherish memories of him are his siblings - Norliasha, Destan and Don; his beloved daughter Courtney; his grandchildren - Laweren, Lei’Lani and Levi; aunts, uncles and loads of cousins.

Now safe in God's arms, the immediate family that have greeted him in heaven with blessings and care are his parents, David Sr. and Norliasha; siblings, David, Kascina and Eric; grandparents; aunts; uncles and the ancestors.

Cedric’s relationship with Christ began at an early age through our beloved mother and at Truevine Baptist Church in Spencer Oklahoma and recommitted and affirmed as an adult on his own terms. The scripture he loved most was Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me".

"God saw that you were getting weary, so He did what He thought was best. He came and stood beside you and whispered ‘Come Rest.’ You wished no one a fond farewell. Or even said goodbye. You were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why. When God called you to come rest, you did not go alone. For part of us went with you the day God took you home.”

Viewing for Cedric will be held at Ferguson Funeral Home on Monday, November 16th from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Interment will be in the Fairlawn Cemetery under the direction of Ferguson Funeral Home.
