About Dallin Owen Robert Skousen
Dallin Owen Robert Skousen, 31, born August 17, 1994, passed away unexpectedly from a motorcycle accident on January 25, 2026, in Mesa, Arizona. While his life ended far too soon, the way he lived – fully, generously, and with joy – will continue to shape and bless those who knew and loved him.
Funeral services are Friday, February 6, 2026, at 7:00 pm, preceded by a viewing at 5:00 pm – 6:30 pm at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 925 N. Harris Dr, Mesa, AZ.
He is survived by his two children, Lincoln and Shiloh Skousen, his parents Tracy and Diane Skousen, his siblings Brookie Cowles (KC), Alyssa Sharp (Tyler), Kimberly Skousen, Kathryn Skousen, and Jeffrey Skousen, three nieces, two nephews, and two grandmothers.
Dallin was fun and genuinely funny, known for his pranks, quick wit, and ability to make people laugh. Beneath his humor was a deeply sensitive heart. He cared about people and loved being with them, intentionally making others feel welcome, included, and like they truly belonged.
Family was important to Dallin. He cherished his role as father and found joy in spending time with his children. He also held a special love for his grandparents, particularly his grandfather with whom he shared the name Owen.
Dallin loved the outdoors – especially fishing – and felt most alive surrounded by nature. A natural athlete, he participated in many sports and carried a lifelong love of physical challenge. Weightlifting became a discipline he respected, enjoying both the progress and the process it demanded. He competed and medaled in weightlifting.
He possessed a curious mind and a love for learning. Whether he was gathering information on a new topic and forming opinions, or traveling the world to embrace new cultures, he approached life with enthusiasm. He took great pride in his work at DP Electric, where he was known for his dedication, craftsmanship, and vibrancy.
Faith in Jesus Christ, hope, and optimism were characteristics that Dallin exhibited during his life. He believed in eternal families, and he longed for the time to reunite with grandparents and ancestors. We know that they welcomed him anxiously and are enjoying the hunting, fishing, and campfire conversations now.
Dallin will be remembered for his warmth, humor, strength, curiosity, and kindness. His presence made people feel seen and valued, and his absence leaves a profound space. His legacy lives on in the love he gave, the laughter he shared, and the lives he touched.

I am so sorry to hear of Dallin’s passing an my heart goes out to all his family. I only knew Dallin as a baby and then a beautiful young child with golden whiteish hair, who loved life as a little boy during the time he lived in Temecula. He was a fun child always busy and fearless as he ran everywhere. He always seemed to be everywhere at once. My daughter Cristen used to babysit him. I remember as a very young child he drew large drawings on the walls of their home, and his parents would get gold colored plaques made to celebrate his creations. It made his artwork seem intentional. The plaques were like what you would see in an art museum and say something like
“Artwork by Dallin Skousen”

Dallin may not remember me much, but I remember the genuine smile across Brookie’s face. It was electric each time she told me something about her brothers. I cannot recall any negative things! Always positive. Dallin will be missed immensely

A beautiful tribute to such an amazing Man. Dallin is my nephew. A few of the many things I admire about Dallin was the he lived an authentic life. We always had great conversations filled with laughter as well as great insight into whatever topics we were discussing. His smile was contagious and his unconditional love for others was infectious. Knowing Dallin made me a better person. I will miss you, but I know you are in a great place with both your grandpas.
