Owen had intention in his schoolwork, his time on the honor council, his time in the weight room, and most importantly, as a friend. Owen was smart, funny, very strong, and always a good friend to me.

The name TANK was well deserved every single day of his life.

Owen was the hardest worker I had ever met, and he stayed true to his morals. We all love Owen so much. He was the best of us.

I admire Owen's work ethic...I admire his kindness. He was the nicest young man and always put smiles on people's faces.

Owen was one of the kindest and caring kid no matter who you were. He made you feel as if you were best friends and you had known each other for years when in actuality you just met him.....He had a presence about him that made you comfortable about who you are.

Owen always put others first and made sure everybody felt welcome and like they belonged....Owen led by example.

Owen was a true friend. Consistently kind and never dismissive or patronizing or mean. He is one of the greatest men I've ever met and I am so blessed to have called him my brother and friend for life.

Some kids are kind because their parents tell them to be kind. Owen was kind because he wanted the world to have more kindness. A world of "Owens" would be a dream,
