t is a sad day to announce the passing of Alexander “AD” Owens Jr. Known for his unwavering dedication to his family, and his profession, AD left a legacy of love, mentorship, and an enduring legacy.
AD lived his 82 years of life between Monroeville, AL and Destin FL.

During his working years, AD was a fixture in the Destin community for over three decades prior to his retirement, where he became known as the passionate little league baseball coach. His commitment to the young athletes was unparalleled, instilling not only a love for the game but also life lessons that extended far beyond the baseball diamond. He was more than just a coach; he was a mentor and a role model who helped shape the character of countless young players.
His professional life was equally distinguished. AD was a brilliant mathematician who dedicated 37 years to serving his country through his work with the Department of Defense. His contributions to national security were immeasurable, and his dedication to excellence set a high standard for all who worked alongside him.
AD overcame many challenges in his life, demonstrating remarkable resilience and strength. His journey inspired those around him, showing the power of determination and the capacity to conquer any obstacle.
As a mentor, AD was a consummate example. He was always willing to lend a helping hand, offer guidance, and share his vast knowledge and experience. His influence extended beyond the workplace, as he consistently nurtured the growth and success of those who had the privilege of working with him.
In his later years, AD may have been a little ornery, but those that knew him understood he has no issue standing with you in the face of adversity. Friends and family knew he had a kind heart underneath the tough exterior that was AD. He treated everyone he met like an old friend, making instant connections with his warmth, humor, and genuine interest in their lives.
The world may be a little dimmer without AD’s presence, but the impact he made will shine on in the memories of those who had the privilege of knowing him. His legacy lives on through his daughters, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and the countless lives he touched and the wisdom he shared.
Alexander “AD” Owens will be forever missed but never forgotten. As we remember the laughter and wisdom he brought into our lives, we find solace in the knowledge that his spirit lives on in the hearts of all who knew him. May he rest in peace.
A celebration of AD’s life will be held on Saturday, October 28, 2023, at Petty Funeral Home in Atmore, Alabama. Visitation will begin at 10am. Service will be held at 11am.

Obituary
David Gilbert Jasso graced this world on November 13, 1969, and entered the arms of our Lord surrounded by his loved ones on October 13, 2023.
David, or Dave as most called him, leaves behind a vast family who held him dear. He was the beloved son of Gil and Ann Jasso, the cherished brother of Greg Jasso and Susie Murphy, and brother-in-law to Ross Murphy. His wider family circle, which includes Clyde and Kathy Waller, Tommy and Jodi Waller, Wade and Ashley Hatcher, and many loving nieces and nephews, will forever hold warm memories of him. His legacy lives on through his three sons, who resemble him so much – Chad David, Charles Gregory, and Caden Thomas. By his side was his endlessly supportive and dear wife, Amy Jasso.
Born in Sumpter, SC, Dave’s childhood was filled with travels, thanks to his father’s Air Force duty, which took them around the U.S. and beyond. Though he enjoyed many of these places, he held Texas and New Mexico close to his heart, proudly claiming them as home. He played football and baseball in his youth and in high school. His love for sports only grew stronger in the years after, through coaching and cheering for his boys.
After high school, Dave attended the US Naval Academy. He was commissioned in May of 1992 and was designated a Naval Flight Officer in July 1994. While stationed in Pensacola, he found love, marrying Amy on September 24, 1994.
Dave’s first duty station took him to Whidbey Island, WA, where he became a part of the EA6-B community, earned his legendary call sign “Assman”, and built bonds that felt like family. After a distinguished Naval career, which included support for Operations Northern Watch, Iraqi Freedom, and Enduring Freedom, Dave returned to Naval Station Pensacola for a third time in March 2012, where he served as NASP Executive Officer. Dave reported to Jacksonville University Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps in April 2015, where he served as the unit’s Executive Officer.
Retirement from the Navy led Dave to a new passion. Alongside Amy and with the help of a loyal, supportive staff, he opened Cantonment Ace Hardware in 2018. The store was a mirror to Dave’s own character – honesty, friendliness, and down-home candor.
Dave’s love for family, friends, his nation, and faith were evident in all aspects of his life. He enjoyed coaching his sons in football, baseball, and lacrosse, and later took joy in cheering them on from the stands. Quiet family weekends meant the world to him, especially when they involved watching his favorite teams – the Crimson Tide and the Dallas Cowboys – with his family. Always at the helm of the grill, Dave channeled his passion to serve up barbecue at gatherings with friends and family.
A Funeral Mass will be celebrated 10:30am Monday, October 23, 2023, at the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart, with Fr. James Valenzuela celebrant. Interment will follow at Barrancas National Cemetery, with full Navy honors.
In lieu of flowers, consider donating to the fight against ALK-positive cancer, a cause that is near and dear to our hearts. ALK-positive cancer is a type of cancer with no known cause and no known cure. No one should have to go through the journey Dave did.
Dave’s greatest legacy is the way he lived his life every day – his generosity to others, his quiet humor, and his very unique dance moves. We are all better for having known him. Fair winds and following seas, until we meet again.
