August 2013
Owen Todd Burrichter - Feb. 5, 2009 - July 24, 2013
The August Car of the Month is dedicated to Owen Burrichter, son of Darren (Burdar) and Julie Burrichter. Last December, his father Burdar shared the sad news that Owen was sick and had just had surgery. He remained brave and happy, and fought on. To the members of the Cuda-Challenger group, Owen was like family. Some members showered him with hot wheel cars, which he loved to open and play with. Darren would provide frequent updates on Owen's exploits, his endearing spirit, and his prognosis. For many members, checking up on Owen was the first stop when visiting our site. He had many people praying for him, and offering words of support and encouragement to his family. On Wednesday, July 24, 2013, Owen died peacefully at his home after an heroic battle. The memory of Owen, and his love for cars and trucks, and helping his dad work on their car will live on, in each of us as we share in our love for our family, friends, and as we enjoy the cars of our hobby.
