Owen Quay Eshbaugh

Owen Quay Eshbaugh, 90, of Port Clinton, OH, passed away Wednesday, August 12, 2026, at Riverview Healthcare Campus, Oak Harbor, OH.

He grew up on a small farm in Canfield, Ohio with his parents Edwin, Margaret and younger sister Judy. After attending College and working odd jobs Owen enlisted in the US Army during the Korean conflict and early Vietnam era and continued to serve his country after discharge in the US Army reserves while building homes in the Youngstown area.

Owen's career span from building material sales, small business owner to private detective. He was a true person who was easy to talk to and made others feel comfortable and valued. Owen had a gift for bringing out the best in people and was never afraid of hard work.

Fishing and boating brought Owen to Port Clinton, and he has called this town home for the past 46 years. Owen was active in the local community and served as an officer of the Port Clinton Moose Club. He was also a member of several other local fraternal organizations, including the Port Clinton Elks, Masonic Lodge, and V.F.W.

Owen is survived by his son, Jerry (Jackie) Eshbaugh; granddaughters, Katie (David) Long and Sarah Eshbaugh; great-granddaughter, Adeline Long; nephew David Jones and his partner in life, Joan Wolf and her family. He was preceded in death by his parents and sister, Judy Jones.
