Celebrating the life ofBotham Shem Jean

September 29, 1991 - September 6, 2018

John 14: 1-4“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in

God; believe also in me.

In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it

were not so, would I have told you that I go

to prepare a place for you?

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will

come again and will take you to myself, that

where I am you may be also.

And you know the way to where I am going.”

Botham Shem Jean BOTHAM SHEM JEAN, 26, died unexpectedly Thursday,

Sept. 6, 2018, in Dallas, Texas. Botham was born Sept. 29, 1991,

attend Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas. He graduated with

a bachelor’s degree in accounting and management and informa-

the student body who participated in student government, was a

member of Sub T- 16 social club, sang in the Good News Singers

and was involved in numerous service and outreach events in the

community. He was a lifelong member of the church of Christ and

was most known for his charismatic and powerful worship leading.

Botham had an enthusiasm for life that was contagious. His smile

lit up a room. He was passionate about people and — because of

his faith — shared his love and joy with everyone that he came

in contact with during his short life. Botham was a beloved son,

brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend. He was an exem-

plary student, mentor and leader.

Botham is survived by his father, Bertrum; mother, Allison;

brother, Brandt; sister, Allisa Findley (Patrick); grandparents,

sity St. Lucia Global Missions Fund, 915 East Market Ave., HU
