Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Owen,

I met a fellow co-worker who was in your academy. He had nothing but good things to say about you. We talked about our journey through the "Bluedog" academy. Rest easy brother, we will take it from here. -Bluedogs 68th

Hi Sweetheart

I just wanted to say I love you and miss you. You know how we're all doing. We're still finding evidence of your sense of humor showing up in strange and unusual places. Amazing how you can still make us laugh - a very good thing!

Keep watching over all of us.

Love you,

Mom

I worked across the street from you, but have never met you. I have never met you, but I cried at your funeral. I have never met you, but I think about you everyday I put on my uniform. I have never met you, but you inspire me. Your sacrifice has reminded all of us why we chose this career. I want you to know that we might wear brown, but that day we bled blue. We all love you owen, and pray for your family everyday.

Peace be with you brother.

Just thinking about you today. I'm hanging in there and know that even though others have tried their best to take away my character, it's people like you, who knew me. It is your kind words and respect for me...(that I was sorry to learn about until it was too late) that keeps my spirits up and makes me feel proud of the job I always did. I know you are still with us, protecting us in a way even more important than before. Thank You for keeping eternal watch over my family and me.

Dear Owen,

I did not have a chance to get to know you as much as I would have liked to. You made the ultimate sacrifice and I think about you everday when I put my uniform on. You are truly a hero and will always be missed by your brothers in blue.

O, you would have been proud of your sister on Sunday (as I'm sure you are). Her wedding was absolutely beautiful and the reception a success. I felt obliged to make a few smart-ass comments to fill in the gap left by you. We all remembered you during the celebration, as we all still celebrate you for even the short time we had you. Katie was beautiful. Everything was there to foretell a good marriage (After all, we only had a wedding this weekend.). I want you to know that you still make us laugh as the source of joy that you are.

'Ever missing your humor and wisdom. 'Ever thankful that I had you for the short twenty-three years I did. We'll all remember you at Katie's wedding, as did Katie and I yesterday as we reminisced. You bring out stories when we talk about you, stories that elicit laughter always, then that emptiness replaced by thankfulness because we dare not be bitter.
Love,
Dad

Peace brother.

I've had such a hard time "reflecting" on this page. For a lot of reasons i guess... but mainly i haven't had time to organize my thoughts none the less write them down. Everything is going so fast, and there are so many things going on at the same time. You know how i get!
Anyway, I miss you. I miss "running things by you", and getting your honest opinion every time. I miss you trying to calm me down when i freak out, and not knowing how it'll work because i was so unstable when i "spazzed" (as you like to call it.) I'm glad we can laugh about that now. (in my mind we're both laughing... and pretending i don't do that anymore) :) Anyway- I decided today I'd sit here til I thought of a message to go along with a "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!" I feel better now. Love you O! I know in my heart that you're somewhere not all that far away, laughing your contagious laugh, and celebrating your birthday with all of us. I love and miss you always,

I miss you so much O. Every single day, I think about the times we had together. There are so many small unimportant details I remember from the times we shared, but those small things are what I cherish most. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers everyday. I know you are looking out for all of us down here.
I'm so lucky to have 2 angels :)
Love you always "kid"!

O,
I did not even know that this page existed..i have been sitting here at school thinking about you because it is november and your b-day is coming up! i still can not believe that you are gone! i only wish that i could have got to know the Owen who was all grown up!! i shave so many wonderful memories of us playing around Mott Park and terrorizing cars with snowballs even stealing a couple hood ornaments when we were young and stupid. the many sleepovers on your balcony and running through all the neighbors yards in our little secret passages in backyards. Brian Hamacher ssid that you were like seconf brother to him, but to me you WERE MY ONLY BROTHER. i came to your house to escape all my sisters. You were such a crucial part of my childhood and you will never be forgotten. I can take hold of the fact that you died doing what you wanted to do and that makes your passing that much easier.

Brother Owen,
I am truly touched by your sacrifice. You were truly a hero and will be remembered.

Your honor and courage will be thought of often and remembered forever.

My young children were with me the day I learned of your passing. Although I did not have a chance to know you on a personal level, you were a brother of mine in blue and we wore the same patch on our arm. I instantly broke to tears when I learned of your passing. My children asked what was wrong and I said a hero in blue had passed away. They still ask me about you and always call you hero. You truly are a hero in my eyes and heart.

Hey there, Just thinking about you. The other day I was looking at a picture of you in uniform and smiled when I thought of how you are forever remebered as a hero. While I believe this, it is all the times when you were just being O that make me miss you most. Your twisted sense of humor, belly laugh, big hugs, sleeping on the couch at mom and dad's--these things are you. I am just so proud that you got to do what it was you had been looking for. Love you.

Hi Sweetie,

Your sister is right. It is a beautiful fall. Dad and I will be raking leaves pretty soon. I know you won't miss that!

I miss you and think of you always, especially as we plan for special days and Katie's big day. You're with us in all we do.

You pennant is hanging on the balcony. I'm sure you and Uncle Ray are cheering for the right team.

Love you, dear.

Hi you--It's so beautiful right now with all of the colors changing outside, and I thought about dad making us go on 'color rides'. Basically we just complained till we got back home again.
The wedding planning is coming along--just wish I was planning your spot on the alter. It's so busy right now, I wanted to take some time out just to be with you and drop you a note. All my love.

Fisher-
I was thinking of you again rolling around on the blue mats when you thought you blew out your knee. I had another bluedog rolling around yesterday as she hurt her shoulder ground fighting.. My thoughts were the same...Get up and keep going..I had to walk away as I was overcome with emotion. I still feel your presence during DT every day. Thankyou for being there with DS Bianco and me.

Growing up in Flint, the Flint Police Officers were the real Hero's. Always wanting to be a police officer myself I took a different route. My prayers are with your family and friends and know your short time as a Flint Police Officer you touched many lives. God Bless!

'Cleaning out your desk today after all this time. I'll even dust it. I'm amazed how much meaning attaches to small things and how they define you:
-a funicular ticket to Capri
-a golf championship medal from fifth grade when you
were not supposed to win
-trophies that I'm throwing out because the ones that
don't have your name on them are meaningless, as I
always told you/ trophies that I'm storing because
they have your name
-your airline ticket to Seattle from your summer in
Alaska
-your candy bucket into which you stuck thumbtacks so
Katie could not steal your candy without being stuck
-your biography.
'Still missing the little bits of meaning you added daily to my life and add yet.

Love,
Dad
