Thomas Elliot Owen

For the past 14 years, Elliot Owen has dedicated himself to serving the people of Central Mississippi as a trusted and compassionate EMS professional. Beginning his career in 2011 as an EMT, he advanced to Paramedic the following year and has since served in multiple leadership roles, including preceptor, field training officer, and, most recently, field supervisor at Magnolia Ambulance. In each position, Elliot has not only cared for countless patients but also mentored and guided fellow EMS providers, helping shape the next generation of caregivers.

Elliot’s commitment to service extends well beyond his shifts. He invests his time coaching Little League, assisting neighbors with projects, and serving children and families in his church community. His dedication to others was powerfully demonstrated during a family vacation, when he and a friend noticed a swimmer face down and unconscious in deep water. Without hesitation, Elliot swam out, pulled the stranger to shore, and initiated life-saving CPR until 911 crews arrived. Thanks to his quick actions, that individual is alive today.

Elliot embodies the courage, compassion, and professionalism that define a Star of Life. His devotion to his patients, colleagues, and community makes him an extraordinary representative of the EMS profession.
