Louis S. Osten

It is with deep sorrow and much love that we mourn the passing of Louis “Louie” S. Osten of Punta Gorda, Florida on October 18, 2021 at the age of 71 years peacefully at home.

He is also survived by 3 grandchildren, 2 great-grandchildren, 5 step-grandchildren and 3 step-great grandchildren, and his brother Philip (Kim) Osten, uncles Harold Samhat and Dale (Jean) Osten in addition to nieces and nephews and several cousins.

He was preceded in death by his son, Louis Verschure, his brother Paul Osten, his sister, Sally (Gib) Dominguez, his parents, Louis and Lorraine Osten, and his paternal and maternal grandparents.

Mr. Osten was originally from Armada, Michigan and moved to Key Largo, FL before moving to Punta Gorda in 2012.  He was a former Sheriff’s Deputy for Ogemaw County Sheriff’s Department, Michigan and a Police Officer for the City of West Branch, Michigan.
