Michael Jensen Obituary

1979 ~ 2012
Michael David Jensen left us on July 27, 2012 at the age of 32. His final days were spent surrounded by family and friends. His life was spent as an outdoor enthusiast. He enjoyed snowboarding, tearing it up on his dirt bike, skateboarding, camping, and hiking. He touched many hearts in his short but very memorable life.
Michael was survived by his adoring wife Peggy; loving daughters Caitlin Allred and Autumn Pair; parents Dave and Janet; sister and brother in law Jeri and Scott Miller; paternal grandparents Jay and Barbara Jensen and we can't forget his devoted companions Lily and Vegas.
A Celebration of Life will be held at Draper Park in memory of Mike on Wednesday, August 1st from 5:00pm until 9:00pm (12500 S 1300 E). All who loved him are welcome.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
