Dr.Obel saved my life. I am in Orlando in the hospital getting ready for a defibulator and I was trying to contact Owen. I will do that with a prayer. He was a awesome Doctor!

I am saddened and shocked to learn that Owen passed away So young. What an amazing character he was, so full of energy! We met at the English school of Paris,France back in 1978, and only recently we had connected again through Facebook. He was so popular that when the news came out of his death many wrote remembering past memories. I knew him back then as a brilliant happy go lucky person, always kind and positive, with a great sense of humour. Even then he played in a small band and had a passion for music. He deserved the best in life...I also wanted to share a bit a moment in his life, when he lived in Paris, that is perhaps not well known to those closest to him.

I am deeply saddened by Owen's departure from this life. He was a beautiful person; kind, funny, full of joy. I worked with him at Mass General and I enjoyed out time together immensely. We always had a great time! Owen had quirky sense of humor and always had amusing and interesting tales to share. He often spoke of Dee and was crazy about her. My deepest sympathy to all of Owen's family and loved ones. He was a unique and talented man who enriched the lives of everyone that he encountered. I will never forget him!
Love and respect to his family,
Anne Blake

Dr. Obel...there are no words. I've only known you as my surgeon for several years, you were a blessing to me more than you could ever imagine. you literally and metaphorically changed my life, you were always so kind and caring and for all of those things I am forever grateful. You will forever be missed. May you rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers for your family

I am profoundly shocked and saddened to learn of Owen's untimely death. He was a remarkably vibrant and multitalented person. As a fellow at MGH, Owen's talent was equaled by his ebullience and optimism which touched everyone with whom he worked. On behalf of all his friends and colleagues at MGH, our deepest sympathy to Deidre and the entire Obel family. We will always remember Owen with great affection and admiration.

Owen, my friend! You were too young to leave this world emphasizing the expression: "Ars Longa; Vita Brevis. It was a privilege to play a small role in your training as an interventional cardiologist implanting pacemakers and defibrillators. My wife, Christa, and I enjoyed the past friendship of your parents, Nina and Pro Obel. Yours was a promising professional career and we shall all miss you. "Bon Voyage!"
