Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I will like to offer my condolences to your family and department. I did not know you personally, as an Antelope Valley resident I have heard a lot of great things about you Sergeant Steve C. Owens. It is a reminder that as a peace officer you will do the unthinkable and fight till the end. You have been a great loss to our community and will never be forgotten. Thank you for your dedication and service. RIP Sergeant Steve C. Owens.

I never had the privilege of meeting Sgt Owen but I wanted to share how he inspires me. I was working for AMR Ambulance in Santa Clarita the day of the shooting. I remember watching and listening to everything on the radio. After seeing the massive response and outpouring of support I decided to learn about Sgt Owen. Everything I found showed he was a mountain of a man who lead by example in all areas of life. He is the kind of deputy I want to be on and off duty. I am now lucky enough to be in LASD academy class 429. At the end of every day when we march down to the grinder to be dismissed, we turn to face the Memorial Wall and my position lines me up right in front of his plaque. No matter how tired or sore I am I look at it and remember my goal to earn my badge and to be that kind of deputy and leader.

My condolences go out to the family of Sergeant Owen, I was lucky enough to get coached by one of your sons and go to high school with your daughter. I was able to see the impact you and your wife had on your children. I was getting ready to go into the weight room when I heard about the tragic news and I was in shock. The way the community supported your family was amazing and I want to be half the Deputy you were. Your a role model to the community, recruits, and other officers. Thank you for your service Sergeant Owen.

Steve, I cannot believe you're gone now, too. The adventures you, my Steve (Blair) and all of us shared while working in the streets of Lynwood will never be forgotten. Every time a friend/family member is killed in the line of duty it takes another piece of my heart and soul. It seems like just yesterday that we were all working and growing up in the streets together. My heart breaks for your family because I know how they feel..I wish somehow I could ease the pain I know they feel...Your family is in my prayers always...Any support I can offer them is always there...
Please give my Steve a hug for me and tell him I cannot wait to see him again someday as I know you both will be watching over all of us from heaven. If heaven has radio car partners, I am sure you two are riding together once again.

I will never forget the impact you had on my career. From the very beginning you were there, my mentor and friend. I was and still am in awe of you and all you accomplished. This still does not feel real, but I feel so blessed to have called you partner and friend. In times when the department is changing, I refuse to lose sight of what you truly believed in, what I believe in. Thank you so much for everything you did for me, our partners, and the community you served. You truly were a cut above the rest, and have left big shoes for us to fill. I can only pray that we make you proud. God bless you, and may you rest in peace.
