He married the love of this life in 1966 and shortly after became a long-distance truck driver. He drove trucks for more than 38 years.

Owens, who is serving with the United States Air Force overseas in Qatar. Heyward's grandson Gary Wayne Owens Jr. began fundraising to help his grandfather fulfill his life's bucket list. He will be remembered as a loving husband, father, grandfather and friend. Mr. Poole was a member of Wise Drive Baptist Church of the Nazarene. Surviving in addition to his wife Linda are four children, Robert Poole and his wife, Christy, of Rock Hill, Cathy Baird and her husband, Tad, of Sumter, Debbie Kelso and her husband, Rick, of Dalzell, and William Poole and his wife, Emily, of Sumter; and 10 grandchildren.
