Dear Owen,

It pains me to find out the devastating news just now. I just cannot make myself believe it. You were such a beautifual, delightful and thoughful person with whom I never felt bored.

In my memories, you were always happy and cheerful, with that childish smile on your face. We laughed together, we drunk together and we had fun together. That has always been one of the most enjoyable and memorable interludes in my life.

You have gone too soon and too suddenly. I never expected our conversation would end with your last text message"...Nice to see the sun out today."

I wish I could tell you, gallant Owen, you were the sunshine in our lives. You had put smiles on our faces, and you had brought so much joy to us.

You will always be remembered xx

Oh he was a beautiful soul who played a big part in my life at a time when everything was changing for me. He gave me confidence and support and taught me to acknowledge the beauty within and love and make the most of the external attributes. The beautiful photo sessions we had and the fun times. So devastated....and can only imagine the loss to his family. My thoughts are with you. RIP my friend.

Dear Owen
You were one in a million! Sorry I can't be there to celebrate your amazing life today. A boy from the sticks to a man who had his master pieces published in magazines worldwide. You have achieved a lot in the very short time that you have been with us. Owen, I thank you for getting me into the make-up scene many many years ago.Rest easy my friend, there will be a huge gap in this life that no one will ever fill with you gone. My condolences to your love ones.

Owen my old friend. I am in shock that you have been taken so soon. It's been a decent few years since we last caught up and that makes me sad. You were hugely influential to me in my Wellington days. You taught me so much. I never forget the fun times, the photo shoots, the make up lessons, the beauty tips, the fashion tips, the amazing wedding photos you did for me, the deep and meaningfuls about life and the laughs. You are one of life's beautiful never forget people. Grateful for the impression you made on me. Love to Owens dear parents Mavis and Bill and all of those who loved Owen. Fly free Owen! The world won't be the same without you. I am sorry I can't be there to pay my respects as you deserve.

So very sad to hear. I was lucky enough to work with Owen on many shoots in Christchurch and his kindness, patience and care for models and clients to get the best out of people in such a generous manner and bring out the best result was incredible, all with such a wicked sense of humour. He made the jobs a joy to be on. Much love to his parents and family and friends. He was a wonderful person. Nicky Blue
