Owner's heirs will take over the business or someone who knows about the business will take over the job. It should not be discontinued. If the heirs do not take care of the company properly then the business might be lost.

legally terminates immediately upon the death of the owner. Even if a spouse, relative, or friend of the deceased owner assumes ownership and keeps the business operating under the same name, legally a new business enterprise has been formed.

The company would still continue to trade. The death of the founder would have no effect (apart from maybe on the price of any shares). However - if the founder was an active member in the board room, they would simply elect a new member to replace them.

Is the owner and founder of a corporation one in the same?

No. A founder, found the company. (or started it.) This would never change. An owner, owns the company. A founder could be an owner if he started the company with his own money. If the founder started the company with someone elses money he is not the owner. If the company is sold to a new owner. The new owner would not become the founder. That is unless you sold it to the person that was already the founder.
