The picture is so lovely Dave. Words cannot even begin to bring into comprehension how you must be feeling. I have lost a son quite late in pregnancy, and for a time all there was darkness. I can only think this must be a million times worse. You have the thoughts, and deepest sympathy of my wife and I.
RIP Owen.

Rest well little man , holte ender in the sky and one of us, forever.

My sympathies are endless, my children are my world and cannot imagine the amount of pain and loss.

Sincerest apologies mate, it really upset me reading your post. At 8yrs old the villa was the most important thing in the world to me. I don't expect u to elaborate further but young lads of that age seem indestructible so to loose him suddenly must be impossible to take. Holte Enders in the sky....
-
Brought a tear to my eye this has. Wishing you all the strength you need Dave, so sorry for your loss. Manly hugs mate. RIP Owen.

When a Child is taken from our world, it puts everything into perspective.
To his Parents/Family & school friends...Long Live the Memories.
May The Angels Take Care Of You...Owen, And God Bless.

I am so very sorry for your loss

There can be nothing worse than losing your own child. Especially one so young. You have my deepest sympathies and hope you have good support around you. Remember those great 8 years dave. You'll always have that.
-
I can only begin to imagine what you and your family are going through Dave, there can't be anything worse than to lose a child, so very very sorry.
-
Dave, I'm so sad for you. But if you had eight years of happiness with your lad, that's something to treasure forever.
I have tried to write something several times, I don't have the words and I am not sure anyone has. I wish you and your family all the best my friend. As Damon said treasure the time you had with your boy, I am not sure the pain will ever go away but perhaps when you close your eyes and think of him you will see his smile.
Sleep well little man.
-
I cannot adequatly put my thoughts into words.
Remember to good times.
Heartfelt sympathy and condolences.
-

Best wishes for you and your family.

My heart breaks for you Dave it really does, my kids are easily the best and most important thing in my life. I only hope the pain eases over time and you remember all the good times you had with Owen.
I look at that picture and just think the world is not fair.
RIP Owen.

I'm so sorry for you. I only hope time will heal your heart and then you can think of the good times

RIP Owen. My heart goes out to you and your family. We lost a baby last year late in a pregnancy and that hurt so I really do not know what else to say, but stay strong and hold onto your 8 years of memories forever.
-
Dave, my thoughts and that of my family are with you at this awful time. Sadly I do have some appreciation for how you are feeling and can emphasise with how you and your wife must be feeling. My daughter died 24 years ago and to this day I carry her photo in my pocket nearly every day so that she can watch over me. It gets easier, having my 2 sons has helped tremendously. But part of me was always meant for Rachel and part of me went with her. I and many others will be thinking of you and your wife on 15th June.
RIP Owen, Goodnight and God Bless you.
-
So sorry for your loss. Rip Owen.
-
I am so sorry.
I imagine there is no pain more far-reaching and deeper than losing a child. My heart and prayers go out to you and yours at this most difficult time.
-
RIP Owen my thoughts go out to you and your family.
-
Really sorry to hear that Dave and my condolences are with you and your family.
RIP Owen.
-
Somebodies cutting onions... my thoughts are with you, I am so sorry.
-
What sad news. May he rest in peace.
-
Much love to you and your family. RIP Owen. x
-
My deepest sympathy to you and your family. Children should not go before their parents, as someone who recently lost a Nephew at 21 who also passed suddenly, he had the adult equivalent of cot death, the happy times you have to remember do help at time, but the pain never goes away.
Best wishes to you and all of your family at this sad time.
-
Dave, my deepest sympathies to you and you family, that's so sad.
RIP Owen, you beatiful young Villain.
-
So sorry....RIP Owen, the other Holtenders up there will look after you x
-
RIP Owen, I have 2 great sons who are now 21 and 15 years but I have photo's similar to the one you have posted Dave so I have a lump in my throat.
If I could find the words to bring you some comfort I would but I doubt they exist so all I can say to you and yours is that you are amongst friends on here who genuinely care, God bless.
-
RIP OWEN my thoughts are with your family at this very sad time.
-
Dave, my thoughts are with you at this very sad time.
You have been very brave sharing this information with your fellow Villa fans.
The comments and expressions of sincere condolences passed onto you and your family shows that you have lots of support.
I hope reading these messages will help you cope with the grieving process
I am lucky in the sense that I have faith, and that faith helps me cope in times like this.
I am sure that Owen will be alongside you at every stage of your life, and most importantly you will have him in your heart forever.
Rest in peace Owen - God bless you
-
Rest in peace young Owen.
Enjoy the next life.
-
Dave like so many others on here I cannot find the words to say how sad your post made me so I fail to understand the grief you and your family must feel.
From a father of a boy the same age as yours my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
God bless little man
-
I brought my boy up as a single parent from when he was four. He lost his Mum to cancer. He is now twenty. Great memories and now he is my best friend. We did it all.
The very thought of anything happening to him... I dunno.
I can only hope you get through this. Hope you can know that he shared a great life with you and hope you find some solace in Faith ( I am not religious) or other belief that helps. I am sure he is still sharing and watching.
No words. Sorry Dave. Keep strong mate. Thanks for bravely sharing this, it helps us all I am sure, to put everything into perspective.
-
Sorry to hear that...he's an angel.
RIP Owen
-
My heartfelt condolences to you and yours on the loss of your lovely little boy x
-
My condolences.
-
Sorry to hear this Dave.
May you rest in Peace Owen, look down on your Dad and make sure he's okay.
-
RIP little man
all my thoughts go to you and your family

Just seen this thread,
Oh Dave, what can I say that hasn't already been said? Stay strong and cherish the times you had together. RIP fellow Villan.
-
So so sad, a tear in my eye when I read this.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

RIP Owen, a Villain for ever.
Deepest condolences to you and yours. Be strong and you have my heartfelt admiration for posting such a beautiful tribute.
-
Dave, so sorry for your loss. All the best.
-
Dave I've never met you but this has shaken me.
May Owen Rest in Peace, and may he stay with you in your memories and give you some strength.
-
The biggest fear any parent has; my son is about the same age as Owen. I'm truly sorry for your loss, Dave, and send you and your family my deepest and most sincere condolences.
I hope that in some small way all of the posts left for Owen show you that although feelings run high on here at times, we members of the Villa family are an emotional and loving lot, and that you and Owen are, and will remain, in all of our thoughts.
*****************************
I give you this one thought to keep -
I am with you still - I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awake in the morning's hush
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft starshine at night.
Do not think of me as gone -
I am with you still - in each new dawn.
-
Sorry for being late to notice this thread, that's absolutely heartbreaking to read. I don't really know what else to say that hasn't been said before, but I'm truly sorry for your loss.
-
My wife and I want to send our condolences, we're so so sorry to hear about what happened to your son.
-
as a father of a little man myself - my heartfeltthoughts go out to you and your family at this time. Manly hugs to all.
-
Posted once before and forgot to say that it is not just me over here in lanza who sends all their condolances.
My future wife Jenny and all of the people we have told about your post send their deepest sympathies. May you stay strong as a family. Lanzarote Villa xxxxxx

My son is 7 and runs around in that kit and your loss of Owen is truly heartbreaking , my very deepest sympathy from my claret and blue heart to you and your family .
R.I.P Little Owen
-
Words seem so inadequate in a situation like this... such a tremendous loss. So sorry for your loss, and saying a prayer for Owen and all of your family & friends.
-
Thank you all so much from my wife and from myself for all your comments. You have given us condolence and strength, to feel that there are so many people all around the world who care. I always said Villa fans were the best in the world, and everyone here has proven how true that is. Again, thank you all, Owen would be proud.
-
So sorry to hear about this dave. Hope you and yours can stay strong.
-
Dave, I don't know you from Adam but right now I'm thinking about you and your family and your loss. I hope time will be a healer for you and your family. Very brave of you posting and I hope it's helped in some small way.

R.I.P Owen
Condolances Davej, I cannot understand how you must be feeling
-
I'm so sorry Dave.
You didn't have enough time together, but I've no doubt the time you did have was full of fun and love.
I hope you can take whatever comfort you can here and wherever else it's offered.
-
I have just caught up with this after being away.
Thank you for posting - it is a joyous photo.
It's really difficult for me knowing what to say, but please know that my heartfelt thoughts are with you and your family.
-
Deepest sympathy for your loss, Dave.
RIP young Owen
-
As a Father myself Davd, you take for granted that you will see them grow and flourish. I cannot imagine what you have been through.
At these times we all say Rest in Peace, but lets hope his kicking around with a caser in the beloved Claret and Blue.
-
Just caught up with this thread, so sorry for your loss Dave. Words seem inadequate, but sometimes there all there is. So sad.
-
I never posted on here before today and having read this I really wish I had done. Not just this one but the other ones too. Dave, really, really sorry to hear your news.

We are attempting to raise some money over 2013 in Owens memory to go to Asthma UK towards asthma awareness particularly within schools. One of our first activities is going to be a 10K run and other things will be happening across the year - Russell at Villa has already offered to donate some Villa tickets.
This is just for information. New thread will be posted later.
-
There are no words just a shared sense of loss. Heartfelt condolances from one father to another. I will send him a prayer next home game from the Holte.
-
Prayer sent: Every game, every beat of our collective hearts, every goal through thick and thin, every victory, every glory, Owen you are part of us, now and forever.
