Eddie Owen, Harrisburg, IL—The community is mourning the loss of Eddie Owen, who passed away this morning after a courageous battle with metastatic cancer. Eddie was a proud father of two amazing boys, Austin and Aaron Owen, and is deeply missed by his family and friends.
Eddie’s passing has left a significant emotional and financial void, as he did not have life insurance. To support his family during this difficult time, Megan Alecci has organized a fundraiser to cover the costs of Eddie’s cremation and related expenses. The goal is to raise $1,500, and so far, $160 has been raised from three generous donors: Megan Alecci ($40), LaShaunda Hurst ($20), and Billie Cox ($100).
Eddie’s sons, Austin (Jennifer) Owen and Aaron Owen, are known for their selflessness and dedication to their community. They have always been there for others, giving more of themselves than anyone could ask. Now, in their time of need, the community is coming together to support them.
Megan Alecci, the organizer of the fundraiser, highlighted the importance of helping this family cover the $1,200 remaining balance of cremation costs and additional expenses associated with travel during this challenging period. She urges everyone to contribute, whether they knew Eddie personally or recognize the outstanding contributions of his sons to the communities of Saline County and Knox, Daviess County.
The outpouring of support and donations from the community is a testament to the impact Eddie and his family have had on those around them. Each contribution, no matter how small, is deeply appreciated and will help ease the burden on his grieving family.
We are profoundly saddened by the loss of Eddie Owen. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time.
