Owen Spence

All members of the RCR speed skating club are deeply saddened by the sudden passing of Owen Spence.

We'll always remember Owen's tireless work to support the speed skating club. He was always there, always supporting us, always enthusiastic. But most of all we'll remember his warm smile, his love and devotion to his family, and his generosity.

How could one individual be so successful in work, spend so much time with family, and also find energy for the speed skating club? -- fundraising, organizing and travelling to practices and competitions, coaching, maintaining the Logan Lake oval...the list goes on. But Owen did it all, and all so well. We all loved Owen.

Club members are thinking of the Spence family -- Cathy, Tori, Josie, Sarah, and Eric -- and how we can help. For now we can offer time but want to do so much more.

There will be a funeral service on Thursday, December 11 at 11:00 am at the Kamloops Alliance Church, 233 Fortune Drive.
