Fredrick Jensen Obituary
Our father, grandfather and great-grandfather passed away peacefully at his home in Salt Lake City, Utah on the morning of July 9, 2013 of natural causes due to his age.
Dad was born December 2, 1919 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Fredrick Young and Madora LaVerna Rogerson Jensen, the oldest of four boys that were raised in Monticello, Utah. Dad was an outstanding athlete in high school and at Carbon College lettering in three sports. He married Vivian Maxine Wingo November 17, 1941. He joined the Army Air Corp in 1943, served in Europe during WWII and was honorably discharged in 1946. Lisle and Maxine were married for 62 years and together they raised six sons. Dad worked in the automatic fire protection sprinkler business for most of his working life. He was a very hard worker and was respected by all those who knew him best. Dad was an avid sports fan who never missed a Jazz game. He loved to fish, usually catching the biggest and the most. He claimed "we had to hold our mouth just right".
After retirement, he truly enjoyed serving in the Jordan River Temple for over 25 years. This experience helped him develop a love for genealogy. He enjoyed researching his ancestors and providing eternal opportunities for them.
He was preceded in death by his wife Maxine; and his brothers Quinn and Neale. He is survived by his brother Clyde; and sons Fred (Renee), Pat, Mark, Kim (Mia), Kelley (Paula) and Chris (Lisa). He also has 17 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren.
Dad, we will miss your sage wisdom, your great sense of humor and your way with words. We will also miss our fishing trips to Los Barilles, Mexico and Strawberry Reservoir. Most of all we will miss your example of integrity, work ethic and kindness.
Funeral services will be held Tuesday, July 16, 2013, 11:00 a.m. at the Kearns 16th Ward, 4731 South 4300 West. Viewings will be held Monday, July 15, 2013, 6-8 p.m. at McDougal Funeral Home, 4330 South Redwood Road and Tuesday at the church, 10-10:45 a.m. Interment, Salt Lake City Cemetery.

Dear Kelly and Paula, and family, We are so sorry to hear about the passing of your dad and Grandpa, But after review of his obituary I am amazed at the long quality, exemplary life of Christ Like service to your family and to all who know your dad. How blessed you must feel to be apart of your eternal family. I am sure you have reflected on the great reunion with your mom and their reflection of life's experiences with all of you here upon earth. May the spirit bless you and remind you of the great Plan of Salvation and of our Heavenly Fathers love and your parents love of you and all that lay in store for you and your family if you live the way you were taught by your parents. Your in our prayers and if you need anything we would love to be of service. WE are thankful for our friendship and all you have done for me and my family. We love you all and stand ready to serve. On that very night, the night of the greatest suffering that has ever taken place in the world or that ever will take place, the Savior said to us and I want you to always remember this. (John 14:27)
“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you……Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid”.

Lisle and Maxine Jensen were two of the most stalwart saints in the Kearns 9th,then 16th Ward. I went through school with Pat, but knew Fred and Mark the best. Their boys were very active in sports, and one of them always seemed to have a sling or a cast on from some sports injury. On behalf of my Mother, Betty Potter, and our family, may we express our love and condolences to all the family. I'm sure my Dad was happy to see him in the realm of families sealed together for eternity with the knowledge that we may all be together again!

I worked with Lisle in the fire sprinkler trade. He taught me a lot. He was a very good person to work with.
