Seth Auten, 33

Seth loved Jesus very much and got to go home to be with him. He was a family man and whatever he was going to do he always made sure that his family could also enjoy and do with him. He very much enjoyed training his children in the ways of the Lord and recognized how big their hearts already are for Jesus. He loved taking his boys out to teach them how to handle a gun — take them fishing and spending many hours in the garage with them trying to fix up their ’47 Dodge. 

Seth was the best husband, father, son, grandson, brother and uncle to his family. He is survived by his wife, Sarah Auten; sons Wil and Wyatt Auten; parents Terry and Jorja Auten; brothers Christian, Jesse, Esa and Joaquin Auten; many brother and sisters-in-law and 20 nieces and nephews. All of his family lives in the close area. He enjoyed having such a big family from his side and his wife’s side. He wanted to stay in the area so that his children could be close to all of their cousins.

Seth was a software engineer and worked for Next IT in Spokane. He had many friends that he enjoyed working with. He tried to do his best work, always knowing that he was doing his best for the Lord. Seth would hope that he made a difference in the lives that he touched by being a light for Jesus.

We love him and miss him so much, “Bye Dad, love ya, see you soon,” Mom, Wil and Wyatt.   

Memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, April 3, 2010, at North Country Chapel, 2281 W. Seltice, Post Falls.
