The Campt Township Trustees, who looked after the cemetery, were not happy about it. They claimed that it wasn’t suitable for the cemetery. Still, Owens’ family defended the text, arguing that it was intended as a tribute to their late family members’ dry humor and attitude.
Cemetery is demanding headstone be removed over obscene ‘hidden message’
Speaking with CNN, his son, Zachary Owens, said his father was a “very fun-loving guy.” Moreover, daughter Lindsay said family and friends loved to tease her father
Lindsay revealed how Owens used swearing almost as a “term of endearment,” adding, “If he didn’t like you, he didn’t talk to you. If you got him to tell you to f**k off, it meant he liked you.”
Zachary told CNN that the idea to “hide” the message came from a cousin and that the entire family “was on board” with it.
A representative for the trustees later said, per CNN: “We do not want it there. It really needs to be removed.”
“If we allow profanity of that sort in the cemetery, and that’s okay for that, how are we ever gonna draw a line on anything else?” the representative added.
