In loving memory of

Leighton Allen Owings
February 23, 2018 - December 15, 2020

Leighton Allen Owings, 2, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, December 15, 2020. He was born on February 23, 2018, to David Owings and Caci Seals. Leighton enjoyed driving around his Jeep Power Wheel, carrying the mail, blowing bubbles, and running through the hose. He loved to snack and grocery shop, often opening things while in line to check out because he just couldn't wait any longer! He couldn't quite get the word spoon right, so instead, he just called it "moose". Leighton was a free spirit who loved to take his clothes off and do handstands. Buzz and Woody were his favorite characters. Leighton loved his siblings and had so much fun jumping on the trampoline with them. He loved to hold his baby sister.
Leighton is survived by his father, David, Marion; mother, Caci (Noah Collins) Seals, Fairmount; brother, Bentley Owings, Marion; sisters, Zoey Owings, Marion, and Raelynn Collins, Fairmount; grandparents, Jennifer Rangel, Tess Miller, Jason Howard, Brad Seals, and Carrie and Mike Collins; great-grandparents, Shirley Haynes, Cindy Seals, Karen Owings, Tommy Rose, and Denton and Gloria Howard; Aunt Carli and Uncle Preston Jones; Uncles Garrett (Katie Elkins) and Jake Seals; Aunts Karina Howard and Summer Howard; and numerous cousins.
He was preceded in death by his great-grandfathers, Larry Seals, Gary Haynes, and Terry Powell, and his sibling, Baby S, who passed in 2017.
Arrangements for Leighton have been entrusted to the Fairmount Chapel of Armes-Hunt Funeral Home and Cremation Services, 415 South Main Street, Fairmount, Indiana, where a visitation will be held on Monday, December 21, from 3:00 - 5:00 p.m. A funeral service will follow at 5:00 p.m., with Pastor Denton Howard officiating.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the funeral home to help with expenses. Online memories and condolences may be shared at www.armeshuntfuneralhome.com.

"Caci, I remember the day you were born. We had an immediate bond. I will always love you. I remember you telling me that you were pregnant with Leighton. I remember you being all excited and I was so excited for you. Then there was this beautiful little dark haired dark eyed baby boy. Who knew he would be a blond blue eyed baby boy. I love you and you are continually in my prayers. "
