Owen was a sophomore at South Central High School and showed great pride in supporting all things SC.

More recently he began to have a passion for breeding and raising pups with his brother Nash, this passion lead Owen all over the state with good friends in search for Bernese Mountain Dogs. Owen also enjoyed deer hunting, riding horses with his Paw and friends, and road trips to livestock shows and activities involving family and friends.

Feichtner family and friends, it broke my heart to hear about Owen, I have known in since we were 5 years old we went to the same school/used to in the same grade. But when I heard about what happened to him I felt so sad, heartbroken and I just thought I'd say that Owen was one of a kind he always brought joy into my life even though we didn't get along we were still best friends I loved him like a brother he always knew how to make everyone smile no matter if it's jokes, his laugh, his smile, or whatever he was one of a kind and there's no one that could ever replace him. We love you Owen, and you will be missed. Just because you are not here anymore doesn't mean you will ever be forgotten. Praying for the Feichtner family and friends

Words can not express how sorry we are to hear of Owen's accident. I remember him, from Grace Christian Preschool, when he went there with Molly. He always had a smile and was liked by all his classmates. I am sure, while growing up, he was much the same. May knowing that others are here praying for you be of some comfort. Praying and thinking of ALL of you. 🫂

So sorry. I know that there is nothing I can say that will make any of this easier. My family thought Owen was a fine young man with a huge heart. Brandon is going to miss his hunting buddy greatly and Aidan is going to miss his volleyball watching buddy just as much. Missy and I are going to miss his big smile and sense of humor. Rest easy young man.
David, Paola, Paloma, and Alondra - Oct 3, 2021

Bobbi and Dave Featheringill - Oct 2, 2021
Sorry just seems so inadequate of a word for the sentiment we wish to expresss. Unfortunately it is all most of us have to convey to you our heartfelt sadness for your unimaginable grief! No one should have to bury their child. You are all genuinely friendly people quick to smile and provide laughter to others. It saddens us to know those smiles have turned to tears. We have lifted prayers for God to provide you strength in your time of need and restore your smile for cherished memories made. Peace be with you.
Kim Mahl Davis - Oct 2, 2021

Cindy Van Wagner-Alt - Oct 2, 2021
Joey, Heath,Ray & Jamie and families ❤ My heart breaks for you with this sad news. I lost my daughter Danielle 3years ago, at least she was older, 16 is way too young. Parents and grandparents aren't suppose to lose their children. No words can express the deep sorrow I feel for you at this time. Heath & Joey I also see you lost your Mom/Mother in law the same time and Dad/Father in law earlier this year. May God wrap his loving arms around all of you and give you peace that surpasses all understanding that only he can give. May your very special memories surround you with love today and and the difficult days ahead. May God bless you always, Love, Cindy VanWagner-Alt

Jim, Sandy, Luke and Ben Blum - Oct 2, 2021
Sorry for your loss. Prayers. We all have heavy hearts for you. Good memories I can remember about Owen was his willingness to learn about the game of baseball and being very polite and respectful. I can remember a football game where Owen was all over the field hustling and making plays. I can also remember Owen at a basketball game finding a way to get to the ball on both offense and defense and I can remember thinking, you can't teach that kind of hustle, that comes from the heart with desire. If there is anything you need, just ask.
Kathleen McNeal - Oct 2, 2021

Heath and Joey, We are so very sorry . Owen was such a wonderful young man and a blessing to anyone who knew him. So glad that my son and grandson were fortunate enough to be connected through the St Francis family (Connar as his 6th grade buddy, and Karter as his kindergarten buddy). My mother's heart breaks for you all and will pray for you continually. May God grant you comfort in this most awful time.
