Owen Faricy died last month just a few weeks before his 93rd birthday. He was the eldest of five children born to James and Elsie Faricy of Florence, Colorado. He married Ceciliamae Spitzer in Pueblo, Colorado in 1943; after her death in 1991, he married Veronica (Ronnie) Spitzer who died in 2006.

Owen was the consummate businessman. He founded the Owen Faricy Motor Company in Pueblo, Colorado in 1942. A second location was opened in Colorado Springs in 1955. These companies exist today as the Faricy Boys Chrysler/Jeep in Colorado Springs and Faricy Ford/Lincoln in Canon City.

He is survived by his children, Patrick, Kathleen, Michael and Joseph, their spouses, numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren as well as many nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by his daughter Shannon, in 1965.

The family would like to thank his niece, Deborah Spitzer as well as Richard Aguilar and Karen Sherry for their loving care during his last years.

There will be a Rosary at Saint Paul Catholic Church on Wednesday, October 15th at 5:30 p.m. A Funeral Mass in celebration of Owen's life will be held at Saint Paul Catholic Church on Thursday, October 16th at 1:00 p.m.

Owen will be greatly missed. I have known Owen and the rest of the Faricy family since 1989 when I began with the dealership in Colorado Springs. Owen often walked through the dealerships and lit the place up with his smile and great sense of humor, as well as good natured and constructive suggestions. He was a good man and I have fond memories of him.

Our deepest condolences to Mike, Joe, Pat and Kathleen and their families in this difficult time.
