Dear Johnny, Patsy, Wil, Trish, and Jami,
I love each one of you very much. To say this has been a rough time for you is an understatement. I want you to know I have not forgotten and your family is still in my prayers daily. Owen was such an awesome man with a huge appetite for life. He was so loyal to his friends and Russell wants to be just like him! Owen's memory will live on for many years to come. Again, I love all of you and I am praying for you even still!
With all my love,

To: John, Pasty, Wil and Trish,
I am so sorry to hear about Owen. My mom just told me about it last night. I remember little owen playing in church and that smile that was so cute. By the way this is Brenda McDaniel, Robbin and Mike's daughter. Mama had told me about his cancer and both him and all of you were in my thoughts and prayers. To his wife, I haven't met you, but my mom met your dad at the funeral home and she said your dad was talking about how wonderful Owen was. I know this is very tough on you and all of you are in my thoughts and prayers everyday.
Love to all of you,

Jami, Mr and Mrs Lavender, Trish and Will,
My heart goes out to all of you for your loss. Owen was a wonderful man who touched many peoples lives. Trish, I remember spending the night with you in high school and Owen was just a little guy running around. I really got to know him when Billy became friends with him. Owen stepped into my life on two separate occasions when I needed help. The first time was after the tornado had hit our home in Hephzibah. Owen came down there that night and took our dog, a boxer, home with him and kept her for a couple of days. The second time he was there for me was after Billy's death. He called me and stopped by my house on several occasions, to see if there was anything I needed. He offered to cut my grass or help out with any maintenance I might have needed in the future. I really appreciated his willingness to help me out more than he'll ever know. You see he was only one of a handful of people who was truly there for me. And I think that speaks volumes to the kind of person he was. I know he loved his family dearly and my heart goes out to all of you for the pain you are enduring. He will be greatly missed.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love, Amy (Rangel) Wiest

Besides I am sorry, I don't know what to say to you right now. I wish there was something I could do or say, but I know I can't...I guess just remembering how special Owen really is to all everyone is most important right now. Owen will always have a special place in so many people's hearts.
He was my "O-bo". I am not sure when that nickname came around, but after all of these years...he still answered to it! Love you o-bo!!
Wil, Jami, and family, you are in everyone's thoughts and prayers. If there is anything you need, please let me know. I will do anything I can for you. This is a difficult time, but God will take care of you, with the help of friends and family.

Thru the tragedies in our lives I have always relied on Romans 8:28 to sustain me and I hope that at this horrific time in your lives that you will also depend on this word of the Lord to help you endure this. We love you and want you to know that we are here for you. Just call. Janet and Larry Drake

Anyone that kenw Owen has at least one of those memories. HIS SMILE!
Will and Owen spent time with Matt and Patrick Tindell,(my nephews)and Chuck and Winston Walker, (my boys) playing basketball out behind Matt's house. Those boys size had nothing on Owen.

Keep Owen's smile and love with you in whatever you do. That's what has always kept you strong. We love ya'll so much and here for anything you need. We never know why God does what he does, but we have to trust him. God obviously needed some help "holding it down" up there and knew O would bring the party!!! Trust in Him and know that you have something that no one in this world could touch....Owen's heart and promise. The Lavender's and Peters'families are in our prayers. Owen's memories, smile and laughter will never grow old in your hearts.

Mr John, Mrs. Patsy, Trish, and Will... I am so deeply sorry for all that you are emotionally going through right now.What an enormous loss. Owen was a WONDERFUL person. Growing up with him I can remember running through the halls of the the church(hillcrest) even though ya'll told us to stop. Me and Christi Epps playing with him ALL the time he would act like he didn't like it..but would follow us if we didn't run after him.and beg us to play.Those dimples and smiles were so precious!! Me and Erin were blessed enough even after moving on to different churches to grow up with him and become such wonderful friends throughout life.And then to marry Jamie.. such a wonderful person inside and out. And I know that My words cant describe how much he meant to Winston..Will and Owen were like brothers to both him and Chuck..He always felt like he had to look over Owen. He will ALWAYS be cherished. Your family will be kept in our prayers. We love you
