Owen Patrick Stewart

Kevin, I so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine how awful it is. Call me any time.

We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all! If there is anything we can do for you please reach out to us. God bless you all. Love, The Welborn´s

One of my favorite (and most terrifying) memories of Owen was back when I lived in Fort Hood and had all the kids over for a birthday party. We were playing hide and seek, and Owen was so little at the time I honestly didn´t think he´d even join in. Well... not only did he join - he committed. When the game ended and all the kids were accounted for except Owen, concern turned to full-on panic. We searched everywhere. My soldier buddies fanned out across the neighborhood, Robyn was on the phone with the MPs, and I was already rehearsing the impossible conversation I´d have to have with Kevin and Noelle about how I somehow lost their child. Just as I was about to start driving around, I opened my car door - and there he was, curled up silently on the floorboard of the driver´s side, proud as ever. Owen didn´t just play hide and seek - he won. That moment says everything about him: bold, clever, and absolutely fearless. He scared the hell out of me that day... and I loved him for it.

I'm so sorry for the Stewart's loss. No words can ever ease the pain but know we are all together in spirit and forever in our hearts.
