In Loving Memory of

Owen Bailey

The family announces with heartfelt sorrow the passing of Owen Bailey at Timmins and District Hospital. After a courageous battle with cancer, Owen passed peacefully with family by his side. He is the cherished son of Janis (Steven) Donovan. Owen leaves behind his devoted sister Emma, and his loving grandparents Mike & Jane Lavoie, and John & Gloria Collette.  He will be sadly missed by his father Gary Bailey, and his brothers Ashton & Brendan Bailey. Owen will also be missed by his grandmother Valerie (Predeceased by Gary Sr) Bailey.

He was loved by numerous aunts, uncles and cousins, and was especially close with his Uncle Shawn Lavoie and Aunt Amy Champagne as well as his cousins Cody and Caleb Lavoie.

Owen also leaves behind his beautiful and caring girlfriend Abigail Beerman, who he cherished beyond measure. 

Owen was a vibrant person who was always excited to share his dances and comedy on Tik Tok and loved performing with his Melissa Kelly Dance Academy family. He was a dedicated Roland Michener Rebel, and was involved in sports, theatre and council. He enjoyed time spent with family at Big Water, and Family Game night at Nana and Poppa's. 

Owen has touched the lives of so many people in profound ways, and his family is so proud of his positive attitude and unrelenting courage.

                                                                                           “Forever in our hearts”

The family would like to thank Owen’s medical team in both Toronto and Sudbury, as well as the Palliative Care Team here in Timmins. Also, thank you to the pediatric staff and hospice staff at the Timmins and District Hospital for their support. Thank you to Dr. Vaithilingam for supporting Owen through this journey.
