Although I smile when I recall my times spent with Neil, the pain in my heart signifies the lasting impact he had on my life. He was one of the few friends that often checked in with me after we went off to separate colleges. I have many memories of Neil putting a room into laughter. And I have many memories of his support during tough times. I'm thankful to have met Neil and he will always be missed.

Neil was likely the best brother one could ask for. Nothing can replace him.

We were so saddened to hear about Neil. We knew Neil and his family from O'Malley Elementary and on through high school. He was between my two sons in age and ended up in some split classes together. Neil was always polite, quiet and did the right things. And so handsome! His family was always there for him and all his activities. His sister and brother were very special to him. Our hearts go out to all of you. May your memories keep him close forever.

Im deeply saddened by Neil's passing. We attended numerous classes together at SHS and were in the same '09 graduating class. He had a great sense of humor and brought a smile to everyone who was blessed with his presence. One of my favorite memories was during math class and he just got a origami calendar; every day before (and during) class we would test our skills. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Neil and I were in many classes throughout high school together. Even though I hadn't seen him in a few years, his sense of humor and light within still resonate when I think about SHS. Neil was the highlight of so many of my classes. He always had a great attitude and knew how to make us all laugh. I am deeply sorry for the Jensen family's loss, Neil will always have a special place in my heart. I am so glad to have known him, he was a beautiful soul. Until we meet again...

Neil was my husband's cousin and it was such a privilege to know him. Our hearts break for the whole Jensen Family and the rest of the extended family as they are as tightknit as they come. Such a sweet and wonderful person and he will be greatly missed....

We can't even begin to find the right words that express the sadness we felt upon hearing the news about Neil. Our families were intertwined through our children's activities; their schools, their friendships, church and the same neighborhood. So we have very many fond memories of Neil, as we watched him grow up. May God comfort you at this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and your family.

I read with some dread, news of any plane crashes, as our son is also a pilot. I can not imagine what you are all going through, but know that you are all in our thoughts - John, Viola, Torvald, Emma, Shelley, Lisa, Heidi, and your families. We are so very sorry. With love, care, and prayer - Russell and Deanna Chesser

Neil,
While I never had the pleasure of meeting you myself, I came to know you by the way Emily spoke of you. I could hardly wait to get to Alaska with her so that I could meet her compassionate comedian brother, of whom she was infinitely proud. Emily would always relay stories you told, jokes you cracked, and pictures you sent; these instances brightened my days without fail.
Neil, your positivity stretched further than you could have ever known. Perhaps more than even your family could have known.
You are loved here Neil, and always will be. Let the wind be your new voice, the sun your new smile, the tides your new heart, and settle above, forever watching, among the stars in the sky.
Jensens,
What the heart has once owned and had, it shall never lose. You are loved here, deeply, and that love will not cease.
May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be always at your back, may the sun shine warm upon your faces, may the rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand.

Neil, I'm glad to have had the opportunity to be your classmate and group member... and I will never forget how we always seemed to pass each other at the exact same time at the exact same place on Mon and Wed going over the speed bump- we would casually laugh and throw each other a wave because it was just too cool of a coincidence. Not very many understand the passion of aviation, but a few of us lucky ones do, and I know you were doing what you loved. Rest In Peace.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

Neil, you brought love, laughter and introspection to our lives. I will never forget your love of games, puzzles, parties and friends. Even more, I was impressed with your love of your family. Truely a special person. Thank you for including me in your circle and for taking over the Halloween tradition. I will miss you.

Neil we will miss your physical being, but we know you are an angel watching over us. You now have your wings. We believe you can hear us and help us with our journey to eternity. I know your short time on earth was a huge inspiration for many. Your life lived was a model for all of us left here. We love you so much.
