<p>Lancelot Owens, or his birth name Lancelot Owens, Sr., was married to Rita Bray. They had together a son and a daughter. The first dead Lancelot Owens, Jr. Lancelot Jr, was killed in 1992 in a motorcycle accident. The motorcycle he was driving at the time just so happened to be the one that his <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Latifah">sister</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Latifah">Queen</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Latifah">Latifah</a>, had previously purchased for him.

Soon after their separation, the married couple filed for divorce. Even though Lancelot and Rita were divorced, they stayed friends and worked through their problems. They would go on to raise two wonderful and successful children. That right there is a significant accomplishment in of itself.</p>
