Owen Lawson

Owen Miles Lawson, age 13, of Sheridan, WY, passed away on December 22, 2022. Owen was born on September 1, 2009, to parents Adam and Erin in Casper, WY.

He enjoyed doing what most 13-year-old boys do, playing video games with dad, golf with his great grandfather Mac, WWF wrestling, camping, and enjoying the outdoors. Owen also loved animals and had a pet snake named Jake. His favorite color was green, and he loved pizza and hot pockets.

Those who loved Owen will reminisce about his ever-present smile and the warmth, depth, and intelligence behind it. He cared about people in the purest way. He loved them for who they were and because he wished the best for them without asking anything in return. Owen was a gentle kind soul who demonstrated impressive natural athletic ability (when mentored by his great-grandfather). He has brought tremendous joy and precious memories to his closest family members.

Owen was preceded in death by his mother, Erin Johnson, and maternal great-grandmother, Florence “Floss” Johnson. He is survived by his father, Adam Lawson, maternal grandfather Miles Johnson, maternal grandmother Jodie Johnson, maternal great-grandparents, Mac and Ruth Rayfield, and Marvin Johnson, and many uncles, aunts, cousins, and friends.

A Celebration of Life is at 11:00 A.M, Saturday, March 18, 2023, with Pastor Scott Lee officiation at Bethesda Worship Center, 5135 Coffeen Avenue, Sheridan, WY. A reception will follow the service.

In lieu of flowers, memorials to honor Owen may be made to Compass Center for Families, 1981 Double Eagle Drive, Sheridan, WY, 82801.
