DAVID LAWRENCE JENSEN

I used to go to school with David. We were really close. I was trying to look him up on Facebook since I haven’t talked to him in a while. And it lead me to seeing this. I can’t believe it. I’m in shock. I just want to know what happened to him. It’s driving me crazy. And I can’t find no info or anything on him. Thank you. My deepest sympathy. Natalie Oncay. [email protected]

I played soccer and baseball with Dave as a kid. He always had such incredible energy, on the field and for life in general. He used to call my dad (the coach) Bundy (because he kinda looked like Al Bundy from Married with Children. The coolest thing about him is that he treated all the guys like family (sorta the way an older brother would treat you). I ran into him about 7 or 8 years ago at the Lucky’s/Albertsons near Kimber in Fremont. I could tell he had been a bit down on his luck but he was still the same guy, full of life and positivity. It’s hard to believe he’s gone already but he lived with such energy that he still outlived most of us.

Theres not a single moment that had gone by since you past that I haven’t thought of you. My son’s and I were remembering when you taught my oldest to weld. He was so excited when you said you would teach him. He bugged me so many times a day to get ahold of you. You were always so busy being on call. But you still founf time to show my son the fundamentals of that trade. Thanks from all my heart.

WORDS one of the few words in our language, that when used will always end as a question. THE WORD ( WHY ) I am sure that over the past week or so many of us have used this word, WHY Dave, WHY now. There really is no answer, I have searched hi and low and the closest I have come to an answer I found in the Bible. as children we would always ask this question to our parents, teachers, and our older siblings. If you were raised Catholic as I was, then many times the question was directed at the Priest or nuns during Sunday school. Its quit funny how the answer was always the same. Sister why is the sky blue, because that’s the way God made it. Sister why is the grass green, again because that’s the way God made it. So here we are trying to answer the proverbial question. Why Dave. I offer you this. God has a plan for each and everyone of us. This plan is greater than any of us can fathom. In fact most of us go through life trying to figure out what this plan is. I do not know what Gods plan for Dave is, but I would like to think that God needed him more than we. Maybe God needed a short stop for his All Star team, maybe he need him to fix the wheels on his chariot, maybe he need help with his computer, or needed help with his new I phone. God knows this kid could fix just about anything. I could go on and on with reasons why, however God is the only one that truly knows. I choose not to ask God why, or get angry and shake my fist at God. For me it is much easier to thank God, for have given me the opportunity to have been a part of Dave’s life. Its not easy being a big brother, however Dave made it easy for me. Its an honor to have known him, he touched me many ways, I hope he learned as much from me as I learned from him. DJ you will always be in my heart and in my memories, I will see you again, but not yet, not yet, it is your turn now little brother to watch over me. until we meet again. My heart his full. You big brother

David, Beautiful boy, beautiful man! We remember when you came into this world. You had such energy, such curiosity, such strength. You filled your life with baseball, oh you were good, and soccer, wow you were fast, and water skiing and wrestling. You lived life to it’s fullest and now you are suddenly taken. Thank you for sharing your life with us and for calling us grandma and grandpa. We will miss you but we will never forget you and your beautiful smile. God bless you David, Bill and Mary Ann – grandpa and grandma Kelley
