Pfc Owen David Witt
Born: December 6, 1983 in Lewistown, Montana
Died: May 24, 2004 in Iraq
Pfc. Owen D. Witt of Sand Springs, Montana attended Benzine Country School through the eighth grade, and graduated from Garfield County High School in 2001. He was involved in the 4-H, basketball team. He lived with his family on a working ranch in Montana and he loved to be at the ranch spending time with his family. He was an artist, working at painting in oils. Eventually, he wanted to raise a family and paint. He would goof off at times, imitating comic routines and speaking with fake accents, and he once thought he might become a comedian. He was not a studious child. He gave his teachers lots of trouble, but they all loved him. He also loved to paint landscapes, sing and act in school plays and had dreams of playing the guitar and be a big country western singer. Owen was extremely affected by the events of September 11, 2001, and was determined to defend the United States. His mission was to serve his Country, which he chose by enlisting in the United States Army after high school. Owen was a terrific person. He was kind, loving and caring with a great sense of humor and wonderful smile. He liked country and western music and was a very gregarious fella. He is survived by his mother and father, Karen and David; grandparents, Alvin and Patsy Clark; three brothers, Cody, Kelly, and Troy and a special friend, Janina among others. He was 20.
