Owen Anders Vail passed away on Feb. 14, 2012.
He was born in New London, on Oct. 15, 1996, and grew up in Mystic and Stonington. Owen will be dearly missed by his parents, Donald and Sally Vail, and his siblings, Ashley, Morgan, Elena, Maddie, Nathan, and Natalie.
Owen was a constant explorer and loved to be outdoors. He enjoyed fishing, snowboarding, boating, and adventures with his family. Known for his funny t-shirts, fixing and finding, and helping people, especially his dad. Owen valued his strong close group of friends - they were always sharing jokes, laughing, and making mischief. He will always be remembered for his great ability to make everyone laugh and his contagious smile.
A memorial service will be held at 6 p.m. today, Feb. 17, at Union Baptist Church, 119 High St., Mystic. The family asks for casual dress.
