SETH AND JESSICA OWEN IDAHO FALLS, ID - Jessica Marie Sheen was born January 15, 1982, in Provo, Utah, to Kevin James Sheen and Paula Jean Boswell Sheen. She attended Seneca Valley High School, then BYU-Idaho. As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, she served in the Relief Society and as a Primary teacher. She enjoyed quilting, gardening, music and homemaking. Seth Alan Owen was born March 28, 1979, in Idaho Falls, Idaho, to Rick L. Owen and Dalene Farmer Owen. He attended Hawthorne Elementary, Eagle Rock Jr. High, Skyline High and BYU-Idaho. He had served an LDS mission to Malaga, Spain. He graduated college with a degree in Business Management, and was starting a career in financial management. He enjoyed photography, music, skiing and baseball. Seth and Jessica met at BYU-Idaho in the Fall of 2000. They were both involved in orchestral groups - Jessica played the clarinet and Seth the oboe. They fell in love and were married in the Idaho Falls Temple on September 1, 2001. On March 11, 2003, their son, Seth Alexander Owen was born, and his arrival meant everything to them. Jessica loved her small family deeply and she loved being a mother. She loved to sit on the grass with Alexander and play games with him. Seth was a devoted father and wanted more than anything to raise his son as a good man. Together, Seth and Jessi brought up Alexander in a spiritual, loving home. They frequently read together as a family. Seth and Jessi looked forward to having a large family, and were delighted in February 2004, when they found they were expecting their second child. Though they are gone from us in life, we know that they are together in spirit, and with our Father in Heaven. Alexander will have their love and their guidance as he goes throughout his life. His survival is a miracle and all who know him can see in him the greatness of his parents.
