Lee Gueller wrote: "I know that when someone passes away the same clichés get brought up about how nice a person they were and what a kind heart they had but I can’t explain or put in to words what a genuinely good boy Owen was. He was a hard worker even working on weekends while he was still at school, polite, smart, funny, loving and genuine.
"For those that know his family will know that the The Jones’s are one of the nicest families you could ever wish to meet. This is the cruellest lesson anybody could ever have but please people appreciate everything you have and live every day like your last."
