I just found out that Sid was in a multi-vehicle accident in Florida on the 15th of August. His passenger succumbed to his injuries and Sid is in pretty bad shape but is healing. Anyone who wants to contribute to a GoFundMe his daughter is administering, I have posted the link below. I do not know her, but I have been friends with Sid for close to 10 years and I know he has a lot of friends on this board. If nothing else put a post on his facebook to help cheer him up and wish him well.

On August 15th 2021, our Dad (Sid Owens) was involved in a multi vehicle accident, along with his dear friend (Mr. Phil). Mr. Phil passed away at the scene and went on to be with Jesus and Dad was taken to FWB Medical for treatment. Prior to the accident, Dad had been living with Mr. Phil and taking care of him while he was battling cancer. He was a dear friend and will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
Dad’s injuries included a broken pelvis, broken tail bone, spinal fractures, internal bleeding and a blockage in the small bowel. He received surgery to repair his pelvis but things have since taken a turn for the worse. He currently is in ICU on a ventilator. He has pneumonia, fever, infection, kidney issues and still has the blockage.
Once he gets strong enough to get out of the hospital, he will be moved to the rehab facility to begin physical therapy. As he leaves the rehab center, there will be various expenses and items needed to aid in his continued recovery. He will need to find a vehicle since his was totaled in the accident. He will also need to find a home and cover any expenses incurred while he has been in the hospital.
If you find it in your heart to donate, it will be greatly appreciated. If you are unable to do so, please just say a prayer for him. We appreciate all of your prayers, comments, texts and calls more than you could ever imagine.
