Owen Johnson

Owen Robert Johnson was born January 3, 2008 in Logan, Utah.  He was born with low muscle tone.  He never had a true diagnosis but was thought to have Spinal Muscular Atrophy.  He returned quietly and quickly to his Heavenly Father on July 10, 2015.
Owen loved music, lights, books, cartoons, being held, coloring and playing on the iPad.  His latest loves were FaceTime for preschool, story hour, primary and Kindergarten.  He recently finished his Kindergarten year and got the starburst award for being the “star” student.
He was a true light and special spirit in our home.  He loved primary music and talking about Jesus and Heavenly Father.  He was  surrounded by angels often and would have his conversations with them.  He would give a look of disappointment when he was interrupted.
He blessed our lives in too many ways to count and changed our lives forever.  Owen had a way of touching anyone who came in contact with him.  He will be missed by many!
Owen is survived by his parents Lenn and Gayle (Tinker) Johnson, his brother, Bentley, sister Abby all of Cokeville, WY.  His grandparents Robert and LaRue Johnson, of Randolph, UT.; Michael and Jana Walker of Vernal, UT.; and Bryan and Jodi Tinker of Manilla, UT.  He is also survived by many loving aunts, uncles and cousins.
He is preceded in death by his little brother,Landry, maternal grandparents Gale and Linda Sue Tinker, great grandparents and other loved ones.
We would like to give a special thank you to “Owen’s Team”! We could not have made his journey without you.  Thank you to the doctors, nurses, respiratory therapists, social workers and therapists that quickly became family.  To Sam Janney and crew for ultimately getting Owen home!  To Best  Home Health for taking a risk and accepting Owen.  To Firmco for taking care of all his equipment needs.  To the Kindergarten class, teachers, therapists and staff and Cokeville Elementary.  To the Cokeville Library staff and the many primary teachers he had.  Of course to our dear family and friends who also made this journey possible. Thank you for your love and support and mainly for believing in us.
