Hello everyone, It is with great sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of EC member Owen. Owen passed away at the end of January. They were 31 years old. We can only imagine what it must be like for their parents, family and friends. Our hearts go out to their family and friends. Owen was a devoted and long-time member of Empty Closets. Owen joined Empty Closets in 2007 and eventually joined the staff team as a Moderator and then Administrator. Owen took on the volunteer roles with conviction and pride and left their mark on the forum. Owen supported and comforted countless members and was always there to listen. They inspired many. When feeling down, Owen would request pictures of people's pets, which invariably brought them joy and gave them strength to take on the day. In memory of Owen, we invite you to post pictures of your pet or pets. Owen's account has been placed into the In Loving Memory group, and now features alongside JayHew, Andreus, Cynic and GoinStag. Rest in Peace, Owen. From EC Staff.
Rest in peace, Owen. In memory of Owen, here are some pictures of my, and my family's pets. Sam Cleo Zeus Ringo Doc
Incredibly sad news. Owen wasn't on the staff team when I joined but they made a significant contribution to this community and its members.
Rest in peace, Owen. Unfortunately, I didn't have the chance to know you, but I can see that you were loved by your friends here. I hope you're fine wherever you are.
