If the two aren’t enjoying time on the lake, they still manage to have fun no matter what they do. “We’re always throwing water balloonsโฆor doing something. She keeps me busy, for sure,” he says.
Olive Pearl isn’t the only one Owen gets to share his passions with. In June, the father of one had a new baseball park dedicated in his honor in his hometown of Vero Beach, Florida. The new venue offers children the opportunity to learn more about sports, have access to after school programs and receive coaching from local law enforcement and firefighters.
Owen was completely humbled by the gesture and hopes the kids get the same experience he received.
“You have to learn to lose to understand the feeling of winning, and you have to win in order to understand the feeling of losing,” he said. “I just think that, as a child, that’s important to learn and to always kind of build that sort of feeling of trying your hardest every time you put your mind towards anything.”
