Sunday night, May 24th 1999, a tragic accident took the life of Owen Hart, he was 34.

There are no words that can express the profound sorrow felt today by so many of us who knew and loved this very special human being.

Fans throughout the world shared a small portion of Owen's life through his various ring personas. But to know Owen Hart the human being was pure joy. Owen loved this business and lived to entertain both in, and out of the ring. He was a consummate performer and a legendary prankster. In the extended family of professional wrestlers respect does not come easily and is not taken lightly. Owen Hart had that respect. He was more than just one of the boys...he was a friend and a brother to all. The WWF locker room and their lives will never be the same.

A loving son, brother, uncle, husband and father, Owen is survived by his wife Martha, his son Oje and his daughter Athena. Our prayers go out to them and the entire Hart family. With heavy hearts and the deepest of sympathies for his family we say good-bye. If the legacy of a man's life is measured by the lives he touched and how much he is loved....then a big piece of Owen Hart will live on - in all of us.

The Burn
by Mark Henry

You feel the burn when you cry
It starts to come when someone dies
The pain you feel as your eyes swell and the tears will up in the wells
The burn starts to choke you up the words come out slow and shaken
You close your eyes and wonder why
There is a burn when you cry
When Owen left it felt like hands around my through
I couldn't talk I couldn't see
The Burn over whelmed me
My heart is heavy this is why
You get the burn when you cry
It digs down deep you can not sleep
You toss and turn in your sheets
Awaken with sobs and wet pillow cases
You wander aimlessly looking to the sky
You feel the burn when you cry
