Owen bravely fought brain cancer (diffuse midline glioma or DMG) for 2 years and joined his fellow heros in the sky on June 30th, 2023. He never let his physical struggles take away his joy and his laughter was contagious. 

Owen was a funny, charismatic and bright 6 year old that loved to dance, sing, play pranks and make friends with anyone. He loved Buzz Lightyear, Sonic, the color red and cuddling up to his family to watch his favorite movies with some mac and cheese. 💚💜

"It means everything to us to be a part of TCSN as an Ambassador family. Not only were they there for us in the fight to offer resources and support, but they continue to help us remember Owen after his passing which is so important to us. We can’t think of a better way to honor Owen’s legacy than to continue to help fundraise and fight against this monster of a disease towards the ultimate goal of a cure, so that no other child or family has to endure this devastation."
