These are Nick's maternal grandfather and grandmother. They are very wealthy people. How wealthy? In 2008, they donated $18 million to construct a seven-story building dedicated to heart medicine at a hospital in Tyler, Texas.

Louis Owen passed away in 2016.

It was from his obituary that I learned about his relationship to Nick.

Nick's Mother and Father, Robert and Celeste Rekieta, have continued the family tradition of donating to charity.

Before he died Louis founded the 'Louis and Peaches Owen Family Foundation' which is dedicated to donating to various causes. Like a $110,000 scholarship to UT Tyler in their son's name.

An odd thing I noticed is that the office for the 'Louis and Peaches Owen Family Foundation' is located very close to Ty Beard's law firm BHBH in Tyler, Texas.

So I did some more searching and I found an obituary where Ty Beard and Louis Owen served as pallbearers at another man's funeral.

It seems likely that Ty Beard has been giving estate planning and other legal services to Louis Owens and his foundation for many years now. Nick's mother, Celeste, serves on the board for the 'Louis and Peaches Owen Family Foundation' and providing services to the foundation is probably how Ty first met Nick.

And there we have it. Nothing groundbreaking but it does give some nice background on Nick and how he likely first met Ty.
