What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

Shortly before touchdown the engine quit running and the pilot did not have sufficient power, altitude or airspeed to land on the paved runway. Aircraft landed in the grass short of the runway, on airport property on the approach end of runway 18.

After a few minutes the pilot was able to restart the engine, although still rough running and taxi to his tie down on the field.
