Family Announcement
Tragic news. I am sure many of you have already heard. Owen has passed away. He got disoriented walking to the bus stop and was found in the fields near by. What no parent ever wants to hear. Our lives are forever changed. The outpouring of love and support from our family, friends, colleagues, strangers and the community as a whole has been astounding.
The Middletown Police Department worked day and night to find him. We just wish the outcome was different. We will announce plans for a service when they are solidified. Thank you all for your love and support.
