In Loving Memory of
Owen Jacob MacKelvie
June 30, 2015-November 14, 2020
With deep sorrow and so much love we mourn
Owen, who left us suddenly on Saturday.
Owen's lively, affectionate presence is deeply missed by his Mommy and Daddy, Tammy and Jeff MacKelvie
and his big brothers Devon and Shawn.
It was a privilege to spoil Owen and he was such a joy to his Grandma Brenda MacKelvie, Grampie Larry MacKelvie and Grandma Karen (Walker) and to Poppy and Grammy Larry and Fay Noland.
Owen's aunties, uncles and cousins are missing his laughter in the joyful racket that is made when families are together: Jason and Jackie MacKelvie (Carter, Serena); Amy and Charlie Godwin (Noah, Claire); Julie and Ray Byers (Caleb, Carter); Cynda and Ken Hogg (Cody, Jenna) and Dennis and Michelle Noland.
Owen will also be missed by his
Central Manitoulin Public School family
and the friends he made everywhere he went.
Owen loved to help. He was a great helper to his family when doing the farm chores, taking care of the garden and getting a meal ready to eat as well as to his teachers and friends at school. The best part about having Owen's help was making the job last long enough for him to tell all of the stories and ideas that he had to share.
Owen was also good at being a little brother, cousin and friend. He was a Nerf sniper, tree house builder, carpet farmer, Lego engineer, water gun warrior and partner in trouble. His appetite for fun was contagious, which is exactly the right thing in a little boy.
Owen enjoyed all of the animals. He was fascinated by the creatures at the zoo and aquarium. He did his part in raising Dolly the sheep. He made sure Smokey, Rascal, Monkeyface and all of the cats were properly loved. Owen also got great pleasure from smashing the biggest pumpkins to feed to the pigs.
Casual come and go for local family and friends.
on Friday November 20.
at 5759 Hwy 542, Mindemoya
from 3-5pm

At Central Manitoulin Public School we miss Owen and our hearts are breaking with tremendous sadness. It was our privilege to enjoy him from first days at Kindergarten camp through a great year in Junior Kindergarten and this fall as a Senior. We will think of him every time we wander through the gardens and orchard at CMPS.

We feel so lucky to have visited this summer and see how much the boys were loving the farm adventures. I know all of your hearts will be forever broken. Kiernan asked if we could get a plane ticket to Heaven and I assured him Owen was already having great adventures. May all the special memories bring you comfort.
Lots of love, Lea, Kyle and Kiernan

Tammy, Jeff, and family,
We were all so heartbroken to hear about Owen this week. We like to think our children's programs at the library are less about the stories and songs we sing each week, and more about the people who choose to spend their time inside these walls with us. Our families are everything to us, and a huge part of that family is missing today.
Please know that we're thinking about all of you, and wishing you strength and wonderful memories during this unimaginable time.
Sincerely,
The Carleton Place Public Library staff (Heidi, Meriah, Sheila, Caroline, Kristine, & Rebecca)

I sent you and orchid. I did this for a reason. I hope you will keep this orchid - this fragile precious beautiful plant that is difficult at times but beautiful when it blooms. I want you to celebrate Owen when you see it. You will see him in everything. Celebrate him when you can. All my love and thoughts go to you and your family. Words will never express the feelings we all know too real.
What a blessing to have Owen in you lives and I pray for you all. Christina Hayden and Daymjn.

Dearest McKelvie family,
I had the sincere pleasure of being Owen’s teacher for the very brief time of a mere few weeks. He impressed me daily in our interactions in the kindergarten room. He always gave his very best in all the work he completed for me. He impressed me as being a kind, thoughtful and conscientious young man. He was a leader for his peers and will be sorely missed by us all. My heart aches for your loss. A beautiful young life taken too soon.

We would look forward to seeing Owen every class and hearing his colourful story about his day or what he had planned with his brothers that weekend. Owen was a constant source of light for everyone around him and we were all very privileged to know him for as long as we did.
