Not sure what to say?

Owen was a great person he was almost to kind, I always remember watching him drum with his awesome percussion skills out in the field. This loss just hit everyone like a brick wall it came out of nowhere. Owen you will always be missed your awesome hair too fly high brother.

I loved hanging out with him I miss hearing his voice. He was like a light house, always kind happy and ready to help. He was the person everyone would want to be around even if they didn't know him.It is hard to not see him in a lot of places but I know he is in a better place.

It´s been a while, I think everyone still thinks about you a lot. I miss you and braiding your hair quite a bit. I was so surprised when you got your mullet, but you rocked it. My mom said you looked like you were in a 90s boy band when you first got it lol. Anyway, it´s rough, lots of reminders of you everywhere, but it´s better than forgetting. He was truly an amazing person, with a stomach aching sense of humor. Losing him had a impact on everyone. I know it´s said a lot after someone...

It's been a little while since the accident and it's still been rough without you. It's like a break in my life. I would go to his house at least once a week if not more. It's been very hard without that friendship.

I´ve known Owen Since he was born - I worked with Tiffany at the BAC. Owen was a sometimes difficult baby, he had a very special place in my heart. I loved the challenge of keeping him happy. We enjoyed early mornings at the lake where we referred to Owen and Piper as our precious cargo - hope tub time after we skied was his favorite. There was one time when I went back to kids club and went to hug Owen and I asked him `Owen, when did you get so big?!´ He grabbed my face, looked me in the...

He went to my school, he was such an awesome person. I just wish he could´ve graduated with us.

I never met Owen but my son attends MMS. I went to the band concert this past fall and when I came home I told my husband about this kid with a mullet who was so fascinating to watch because his love of playing music was so evident and he just had this amazing energy. I didn't know it was Owen until I saw the Facebook posts about the accident. I'm so sorry for Owen's family and friends but I hope it's comforting for them to know that even complete strangers were drawn to his light while he...
