Help Support Owen's Family

On Thursday evening, May 16, 2024, Owen Morton was doing what he loved most. He was racing in his first dirt bike race at Hannegan Speedway where sadly, he was in a terrible accident. He was admitted to the local hospital and then soon after, life-flighted to Harborview. Despite hours of surgery, he passed away the morning of May 17.

Our sons were some of Owen’s closest friends and so we are organizing this on behalf of his family.

Owen, 14, was a kind-hearted, smart, witty, all-around amazing kid. Dirt biking and music were two of his passions. He spent a lot of his time riding his bike and working on his motorcycles and small engines. He loved rocking out on his drums and hanging out with his friends. If Owen was near, you were smiling or laughing.

Owen’s family was incredibly important to him. His mom and dad, Tiffany and Ben, and sister, Piper, will soon be faced with potentially debilitating expenses due to the two hospital admittances and the life flight. This GoFundMe will assist with those costs in addition to the memorial service and other related expenses.

We do not know the full scope of what they will face financially, but we know that the goal amount will help ease the financial burden and provide some peace of mind. As bills begin to roll in, we will update the goal, if needed. Your donations—any amount—will help.

Words cannot express our appreciation for the love and support this will show the Morton family.

Though we lost him, we know Owen was happy doing exactly what he loved. He was a blessing to all who knew him. His smile and infectious personality will forever be in our hearts.
